        <Identifier>DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>THE ASSOCIATION IS GENERALLY EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 501(C)(6) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC). UNDER CURRENT INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) REGULATIONS, ADVERTISING REVENUE IS SUBJECT TO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME TAX. THE ASSOCIATION HAD TAX EXPENSE FOR UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME OF $44,650 AND $69,401 FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012 AND 2011, RESPECTIVELY. DEFERRED TAXES ARE PROVIDED ON A LIABILITY METHOD, WHEREBY, DEFERRED TAX ASSETS ARE RECOGNIZED FOR DEDUCTIBLE TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES AND OPERATING LOSS AND TAX CREDIT CARRYFORWARDS AND DEFERRED TAX LIABILITIES ARE RECOGNIZED FOR TAXABLE TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES. TEMPORARY DIFFERENCES ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE REPORTED AMOUNTS OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES AND THEIR TAX BASES. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS ARE REDUCED BY A VALUATION ALLOWANCE WHEN, IN THE OPINION OF MANAGEMENT, IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT SOME PORTION OR ALL OF THE DEFERRED TAX ASSETS WILL NOT BE REALIZED. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ARE ADJUSTED FOR THE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN TAX LAWS AND RATES ON THE DATE OF ENACTMENT. THE ASSOCIATION ADOPTED THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH 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 ASSOCIATION MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. 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. THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ALSO ADDRESSES DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES, AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. MANAGEMENT EVALUATED THE ASSOCIATION'S TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT THE ASSOCIATION HAS TAKEN NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GUIDANCE. GENERALLY, THE ASSOCIATION IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, OR LOCAL TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS BEFORE 2009.</Explanation>
