        <Explanation>IN JUNE 2006, THE FASB ISSUED FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 48, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ("FIN 48"), AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 109. FIN 48 CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SFAS NO. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES ("SFAS 109"). FIN 48 CLARIFIES THE APPLICATION OF SFAS 109 BY DEFINING A CRITERION THAT AN INDIVIDUAL TAX POSITION MUST MEET FOR ANY PART OF THE BENEFIT OF THAT POSITION TO BE RECOGNIZED IN AN ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. ADDITIONALLY, FIN 48 PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON MEASUREMENT, DERECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES, ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS, DISCLOSURE, AND TRANSITION. THE AMOUNT RECOGNIZED IS SUBJECT TO ESTIMATE AND MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE LIKELY OUTCOME OF EACH UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION. THE AMOUNT THAT IS ULTIMATELY SUSTAINED FOR AN INDIVIDUAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION OR FOR ALL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS IN THE AGGREGATE COULD DIFFER FROM THE AMOUNT RECOGNIZED. MANAGEMENT HAS COMPLETED ITS EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF THIS STANDARD, AND THE FOUNDATION IS UNAWARE OF ANY TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE DISCLOSURE.</Explanation>
