      <Description>ARIZONA ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY OPERATES A 126-ACRE ZOOLOGICAL PARK WITH OVER 1,400 ANIMALS IN EXHIBITION AND PARTICIPATES IN WORLDWIDE SPECIES SURVIVAL PLANS. THROUGH ECOSYSTEM EXHIBITION, EDUCATION AND CONSERVATION, THE ZOO SERVES VISITORS WITH A MISSION TO PROVIDE EXPERIENCES THAT INSPIRE PEOPLE AND MOTIVATE THEM TO CARE FOR THE NATURAL WORLD. WITH A FOCUS ON EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, THE ZOO ALSO CONDUCTS A VARIETY OF EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES FOCUSED ON CHILDREN AS THEIR PRIMARY AUDIENCE TO EMPHASIZE CARING RELATIONSHIPS, PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACTION TO CONSERVE ANIMALS AND NATURE IN GENERAL. EXAMPLES OF ADDITIONAL EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES INCLUDE OVERNIGHT CAMPS, INTERSESSION CAMPS, VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AND TEEN PROGRAMS FOR CAREER DEVELOPMENT IN ANIMAL SCIENCES AND GENERAL ANIMAL CARE-GIVING. ADDITIONALLY, THE ZOO CONDUCTS OFFSITE ACTIVITIES TO TRAVEL TO LOCAL CLASSROOMS AND RURAL COMMUNITIES PROVIDING APPROXIMATELY 56,000 CHILDREN WITH CLASSROOM DEMONSTRATIONS OF ANIMALS THEY WOULD OTHERWISE NOT SEE DUE TO INACCESSIBILITY TO THE PARK. THE PHOENIX ZOO SERVES MORE THAN 1.5 MILLION GUESTS ANNUALLY. EQUALLY IMPORTANT, THE ZOO IS THE STATE'S MOST POPULAR ATTRACTION FOR CHILDREN AND OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS CONNECT TO AND COMPLEMENT THE WORK OF MANY ZOO PARTNERS, INCLUDING SCHOOLS, CONSERVATION GROUPS, AND OTHER CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS THAT SUPPORT THE COMMUNITIES OF GREATER PHOENIX AND ARIZONA. AS AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT 501(C)(3) CORPORATION, THE PHOENIX ZOO HAS SUCCESSFULLY OPERATED AS A SELF-SUSTAINING ENTERPRISE THROUGHOUT ITS 50-YEAR HISTORY, RECEIVING NO OPERATIONAL FUNDING FROM ANY PUBLIC SOURCE. WE RECEIVE ALL OF OUR OPERATIONAL SUPPORT FROM ADMISSIONS, CONCESSIONS, RETAIL, MEMBERSHIPS, EVENTS AND PHILANTHROPY.</Description>

        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>THE ORGANIZATION HAS BEEN GRANTED TAX-EXEMPT STATUS UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (THE "CODE"). THEREFORE, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN MADE IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR ITS EXEMPT ACTIVITIES.

THE ORGANIZATION HAS PROVIDED FOR INCOME TAXES ON ITS UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME AS REQUIRED BY SECTION 512 OF THE CODE. THE ORGANIZATION FOLLOWS THE GUIDANCE ISSUED BY THE FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD ("FASB") RELATED TO ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAX UNCERTAINTIES. UNDER THIS GUIDANCE, THE ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS FOR THE EFFECT OF ANY UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS BASED ON WHETHER IT IS "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" THAT THE POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED BY THE TAXING AUTHORITY UPON EXAMINATION. THE ORGANIZATION ROUTINELY EVALUATES POTENTIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. THE ORGANIZATION HAS IDENTIFIED ITS STATUS AS AN EXEMPT ORGANIZATION AS A TAX POSITION; HOWEVER, THE ORGANIZATION HAS DETERMINED THAT SUCH TAX POSITION DOES NOT RESULT IN AN UNCERTAINTY THAT REQUIRES RECOGNITION. THE ORGANIZATION FILES INFORMATIONAL RETURNS IN THE U.S. FEDERAL JURISDICTION AND IN CERTAIN STATE AND LOCAL JURISDICTIONS. AS OF JUNE 30, 2012, U.S. FEDERAL INFORMATIONAL RETURNS FOR YEARS ENDED PRIOR TO JUNE 30, 2009 AND STATE RETURNS FOR YEARS ENDED PRIOR TO JUNE 30, 2008 ARE CLOSED TO ASSESSMENT. INTEREST AND PENALTIES, IF ANY, ARE ACCRUED AS A COMPONENT OF MANAGEMENT AND GENERAL EXPENSES WHEN ASSESSED.</Explanation>
