THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ASC 740-10 HAD NO IMPACT ON THE PVA'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT. PVA DOES NOT BELIEVE THERE ARE ANY MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AND; ACCORDINGLY, IT WILL NOT RECOGNIZE ANY LIABILITY FOR UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS. PVA HAS FILED FOR AND RECEIVED INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS IN THE JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT IS REQUIRED TO DO SO. ADDITIONALLY, PVA HAS FILED INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE FORM 990 AND 990-T TAX RETURNS AS REQUIRED AND ALL OTHER APPLICABLE RETURNS IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS WHERE IT IS REQUIRED. PVA BELIEVES THAT IT IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY TAX AUTHORITIES FOR FISCAL YEARS BEFORE 2009. FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011, THERE WERE NO INTEREST OR PENALTIES RECORDED OR INCLUDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF ACTIVITIES.
