The Association is subject to tax on income from any unrelated business. The Association has adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Association has analyzed tax positions taken for filing with the Internal Revenue Service and all state jurisdictions where it operates. The Association believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Associations financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Accordingly, the Association has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2012 or 2011. AAIA is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Association believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2009. The Organizations policy is to classify income tax related interest and penalties in interest expense and other expenses, respectively.
