For the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, unrelated business income did not result in any material net taxable income, therefore no provision for income tax has been provided in the accompanying financial statements. The Organization is required to file an annual Form 990-T with the United States Internal Revenue Service for any unrelated business income. In 2010, the Organization adopted the guidance in accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. This guidance requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Organization's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. As of September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Organization had no uncertain tax positions. The Organization is relying on its tax-exempt status and its adherence to all applicable laws and regulations to preserve that status. However, the conclusions regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes will be subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, ongoing analysis of tax laws, regulations, and interpretations thereof. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Organization. The Organization recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The Organization's informational returns are generally subject to examination for three years after the later of the due date or date of filing. As a result, the Organization is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2009.
