        <Explanation>THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS TAX-EXEMPT PURSUANT TO SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE SYSTEM ACCOUNTS FOR INCOME TAXES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASC TOPIC 740, INCOME TAXES ("ASC 740"); HOWEVER, DURING 2011 AND 2010, NO SIGNIFICANT TRANSACTIONS RESULTED UNDER ASC 740. ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION FOR STATE OR FEDERAL INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN PRESENTED IN THE ACCOMPANYING CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. ASC 740 ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNDER ASC 740-10-25, THE SYSTEM 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.

ASC 740 ALSO PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. THE SYSTEM HAS DETERMINED THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY MATERIAL UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFITS OR OBLIGATIONS AS OF JUNE 30, 2011 AND 2010, RESPECTIVELY. FISCAL YEARS ENDING ON AND AFTER JUNE 30, 2008 REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY FEDERAL AND STATE AUTHORITIES.</Explanation>
