| 1.   | Evaluate                the position for recognition: an enterprise should recognize the                financial                statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the                relevant tax authority would more-likely-than-not sustain the position                following an audit. |
|----------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 2.   | Measure                the benefit amount for tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not                threshold: The amount recognized in the financial statements should                be the                largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of                being                realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax                authority. |
