INTENDED USES FOR ENDOWMENT FUNDS	SCHEDULE D, PAGE 2, PART V, LINE 4	FUNDS ARE FOR SCHOLARSHIPS ISSUED TO INSTITUTIONAL RESEARCHERS TO OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND EDUCATION PROVIDED BY THE ASSOCIATION.
LIABILITY UNDER FIN 48 FOOTNOTE	SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X	THE FASB ISSUED GUIDANCE THAT REQUIRES TAX EFFECTS FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION TO BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ONLY IF THE POSITION IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT TO BE SUSTAINED IF THE POSITION WERE TO BE CHALLENGED BY A TAXING AUTHORITY. THE ASSESSMENT OF THE TAX POSITION IS BASED SOLELY ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE TAX POSITION MAY BE CHALLENGED. IF AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION MEETS THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD, THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF TAX BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY TO BE RECOGNIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT WITH THE TAXING AUTHORITY IS RECORDED. THE ASSOCIATION IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX UNDER IRC SECTION 501(C)(3), THOUGH IT IS SUBJECT TO TAX ON INCOME UNRELATED TO ITS EXEMPT PURPOSES, UNLESS THAT INCOME IS OTHERWISE EXCLUDED BY THE IRC. THERE ARE NO TAX POSITIONS FOR WHICH A MATERIAL CHANGE IN ANY UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFIT LIABILITY IS REASONABLY POSSIBLE IN THE NEXT 12 MONTHS. THERE IS NO INTEREST OR PENALTIES RECOGNIZED IN THE INCOME STATEMENT OR BALANCE SHEET. THE TAX YEARS ENDING 2009, 2010 AND 2011, ARE STILL OPEN TO AUDIT FOR FEDERAL PURPOSES. THE GUIDANCE DID NOT HAVE ANY IMPACT ON THE ASSOCIATIONS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
