        <ReturnReference>Part X, Line 2:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Interest and penalties, if any, are included in expenses in the consolidated statements of activities. As of December 31, 2012, CHC had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. CHC's Federal Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax Form 990 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 are subject to examination by the IRS, generally for three years after they were filed.</Explanation>
