        <Identifier>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part X, Line 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The Center is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and from state income taxes under similar provisions of the Florida Income Tax Code FOR FORM 990. It is not classified as a private foundation. FORM 990-T AND F-1120 ARE SUBJECT TO FEDERAL AND FLORIDA STATE INCOME TAXES. FOR THE CURRENT YEAR NO TAXES ARE OWED. The Center adopted FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This pronouncement recently became effective and seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of measurement and recognition in accounting for income taxes. It prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position that an entity takes or expects to take in a tax return. An entity may only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. The Center assesses its income tax positions based on management's evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Center uses the prescribed more likely than not threshold when making its assessment. At adoption, the Center did not record any cumulative effect adjustment, and the Center did not accrue any interest expense or penalties related to tax positions. There are currently no open Federal or State tax years under audit.</Explanation>
