        <Explanation>New York Shipping Association is not required to file a Form 1120-POL as it is not subject to the Internal Revenue Code Section 527 (f) Tax. Taxable Income for an exempt Organization (under Section 501) that is not a political organization is the smaller of its net investment income or the amount spent for an exempt function during the year. New York Shipping Association's net income for purposes of calculating the Section 527 (f) tax is $0 as its investment expenditures exceed its investment income.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>The Company follows guidance that established criterion that an individual tax position must meet for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in an entity's financial statements. This standard requires the Company to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has processes presently in place to ensure the maintenance of its tax-exempt status; to identify and report unrelated income; determine its filing and tax obligations in jurisdictions for which it has nexus; and to review other matters that may be considered tax positions. The tax years ending 2008, 2009 and 2010 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. This standard has not had an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.</Explanation>
