        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES IS INCLUDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE ZOO HAS RECEIVED DETERMINATION LETTERS FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE THAT RECOGNIZES THE SOCIETY AS A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS UNDER SECTION 501 (C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE FEDERAL EXEMPTIONS FROM INCOME TAX ARE RECOGNIZED BY STATE AUTHORITIES. THE SEDGWICK COUNTY ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY, INC. FILES A FEDERAL INFORMATION RETURN (FORM 990) WHICH INCLUDES INFORMATION ABOUT ITS OPERATIONS AND EXEMPT ACTIVITIES. THE FEDERAL AND KANSAS INFORMATION RETURNS OF THE COMPANY FOR 2011, 2010, AND 2009 ARE SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE IRS AND STATE TAXING AUTHORITIES, GENERALLY FOR THREE YEARS AFTER THEY WERE FILED. IT IS THE SEDGWICK COUNTY ZOOS POLICY THAT PENALTIES AND INTEREST ASSESSED BY INCOME TAXING AUTHORITIES, IF ANY, ARE INCLUDED IN OPERATING EXPENSES. THE ZOO ADOPTED THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNDER THIS GUIDANCE, THE ZOO MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. AT DECEMBER 31, 2011 AND 2010, THERE WERE NO UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS IDENTIFIED OR RECORDED AS LIABILITIES.</Explanation>
