| Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: | Part X: | The Club (an Illinois not-for-profit organization) is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state law. During 2012 and 2011, the Club did not have any significant income subject to unrelated business income taxes. The accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Club may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more than likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Club and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBIT). The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. At June 30, 2012 and 2011, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Club files Forms 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. The Club is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2008. |
| Part X: The Club originally entered into a deferred compensation agreement with the Retired President in July of 1989. The liability reflects the contractual obligations under that agreement including amendments thereto. The Club currently has a qualified 401(k) plan available to all employees and has not offered and has no plans to offer other retirement plans to any employee. |
