Return Reference Explanation
Schedule D, Part X, Line 2, FIN 48 (ASC 740) footnote THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE HAS DETERMINED THAT JCR IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. JCR IS SUBJECT TO INCOME TAXES ON INCOME DETERMINED TO BE UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. AS OF JANUARY 2009, JCR ADOPTED THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD ASC 740-10 (FORMERLY KNOWN AS FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 48, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES), WHICH PRESCRIBES A COMPREHENSIVE MODEL FOR HOW AN ORGANIZATION SHOULD MEASURE, RECOGNIZE, PRESENT, AND DISCLOSE IN ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT AN ORGANIZATION HAS TAKEN OR EXPECTS TO TAKE ON A TAX RETURN. JCR HAS ANALYZED TAX POSITIONS TAKEN FOR FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND ALL STATE JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT OPERATES. JCR BELIEVES THAT INCOME TAX FILING POSITIONS WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION AND DOES NOT ANTICIPATE ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WOULD RESULT IN A MATERIAL ADVERSE AFFECT ON THE JCR'S FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OR CASH FLOWS. ACCORDINGLY, JCR HAS NOT RECORDED ANY RESERVES, OR RELATED ACCRUALS FOR INTEREST AND PENALTIES FOR UNCERTAIN INCOME TAX POSITIONS AT DECEMBER 31, 2013 FOR ITS UNITED STATES OPERATIONS. THE SINGAPORE BRANCH RECEIVED AN INITIAL 5 YEAR EXEMPTION FROM SINGAPORE INCOME TAXES. THIS EXEMPTION WAS GRANTED BY SINGAPORE'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BOARD (EDB) UNDER THE PIONEER SERVICE INCENTIVE PLAN (PIONEER). HOWEVER, IN SEPTEMBER 2011, JCR'S TAX EXEMPTION IN SINGAPORE EXPIRED. SINCE JCR'S PIONEER STATUS EXPIRED AN ESTIMATED ACCRUED TAX LIABILITY HAS BEEN RECORDED ON A QUARTERLY BASIS. AS A RESULT, AN ESTIMATED ACCRUED LIABILITY OF $36,400 HAS BEEN RECORDED AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2013.
