        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE THE ASSOCIATION TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES. THE ASSOCIATION HAS ANALYZED TAX POSITIONS TAKEN AND HAS CONCLUDED THAT, AS OF MAY 31, 2012 AND 2011, THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. FOR THE YEARS AND AS OF MAY 31, 2012 AND 2011, THE ASSOCIATION HAD NO INTEREST AND PENALTIES RELATED TO INCOME TAXES. THE ASSOCIATION IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THE ASSOCIATION IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS FOR YEARS BEFORE 2008.</Explanation>
