        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>FEDERAL INCOME TAXES FEDERAL INCOME TAXES ARE NOT PAYABLE BY, OR PROVIDED FOR THE FOUNDATION. THE FOUNDATION IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(3) AND IS PUBLICLY SUPPORTED ORGANIZATION. UPON DISSOLUTION, ALL ITS ASSETS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO ANOTHER SIMILAR ORGANIZATION. IN 2006, THE (FASB ASC 740-10) ISSUED (INTERPRETATION NO.48, "ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES" ("FIN 48")). FIN 48 CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTERPRISE'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH FASB ASC 740 (STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 109, "ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES"). THIS INTERPRETATION PRESCRIBES A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD AND MEASUREMENT ATTRIBUTE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF A TAX POSITION TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX RETURN. FIN 48 REQUIRES THAT A COMPANY RECOGNIZE IN ITS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THE IMPACT OF TAX POSITIONS THAT MEET A "MORE LIKELY THAN NOT" THRESHOLD, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SUCH A POSITION SHOULD BE BASED ON THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN FIFTY PERCENT LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. DURING 2011, THE FOUNDATION ADOPTED FASB ASC 740-10. THE PROVISIONS OF FASB ASC 740-10 WERE APPLIED TO ALL TAX POSITIONS ON ADOPTION OF THIS INTERPRETATION. THE FOUNDATION BELIEVES ALL OF ITS TAX POSITIONS TO BE HIGHLY CERTAIN. THERE WAS NO CUMULATIVE EFFECT ADJUSTMENT TO THE OPENING BALANCE OF NET ASSETS AS A RESULT OF THE ADOPTION OF FIN 48.</Explanation>
