DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48:PART X:THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT BENEFIT OF AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY AFTER CONSIDERING THE PROBABILITY THAT A TAX AUTHORITY WOULD SUSTAIN THE POSITION IN AN EXAMINATION. FOR TAX POSITIONS MEETING A "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" THRESHOLD, THE AMOUNT RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IS THE BENEFIT EXPECTED TO BE REALIZED UPON SETTLEMENT WITH THE TAX AUTHORITY. FOR TAX POSITIONS NOT MEETING THE THRESHOLD, NO FINANCIAL STATEMENT BENEFIT IS RECOGNIZED. AS OF JUNE 30, 2012, THE ORGANIZATION HAS HAD NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. THE ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZES INTEREST AND PENALTIES, IF ANY, RELATED TO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AS INCOME TAX EXPENSE. INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR THE YEAR PRIOR TO 2006 ARE NO LONGER SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY TAX AUTHORITIES. THE COMMISSION IS RELYING ON ITS TAX-EXEMPT STATUS AND ITS ADHERENCE TO ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS TO PRESERVE THAT STATUS.
