As a not-for-profit entity exempt from income taxes, AICUM may, however, be subject to tax on unrelated business income. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require an entity to assess the probability that a tax position has a 'more likely than not' sustainability after review by tax authorities. If a tax position is deemed not to meet this threshold, any unrecognized tax benefits and costs are estimated and recognized. Tax returns are routinely open for review by the tax authorities for three years from their due date. In certain circumstances, the statute of limitations may remain open indefinitely.
