        <Explanation>INCOME TAX STATUS: ARF IS EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. IN ADDITION, ARF QUALIFIES FOR THE CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION DEDUCTION UNDER SECTION 170(B)(1)(A) AND HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED AS AN ORGANIZATION OTHER THAN A PRIVATE FOUNDATION UNDER SECTION 509(A)(2). ARF HAS ADOPTED THE RECOGNITION REQUIREMENTS FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AS REQUIRED BY GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES, WITH NO CUMULATIVE EFFECT ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED. TAX BENEFITS ARE RECOGNIZED FOR TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN A TAX AND INFORMATION RETURN, ONLY WHEN IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES. ARF HAS ANALYZED TAX POSITIONS TAKEN FOR FILING WITH THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND ALL STATE JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT OPERATES. ARF BELIEVES THAT TAX FILING POSITIONS WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION AND DOES NOT ANTICIPATE ANY ADJUSTMENTS THAT WOULD RESULT IN A MATERIAL ADVERSE AFFECT ON ARF'S FINANCIAL CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, OR CASH FLOWS. ACCORDINGLY, ARF HAS NOT RECORDED ANY RESERVES, OR RELATED ACCRUALS FOR INTEREST AND PENALTIES FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AT DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND 2011.</Explanation>
