        <ReturnReference>Part X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The Association has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), stating that it is an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code and, accordingly, is not subject to Federal income taxes on its related activities. In accordance with IRS standards, the Association files a Form 990-T for unrelated business income from investments and advertising revenue. Currently, there is no related Federal tax liability.
