        <ReturnReference>PART X, LINE 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE THE ORGANIZATIONS' MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATIONS AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY (OR ASSET) IF THE ORGANIZATIONS HAVE TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. THE ORGANIZATIONS' MANAGEMENT HAS ANALYZED THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE ORGANIZATIONS, AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2012, THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY (OR ASSET) OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ORGANIZATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES IT IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATION FOR YEARS PRIOR TO 2009.</Explanation>
