THE AGENCY REMAINS LIABLE FOR TAX ON UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME. NO TAX PROVISIONS WERE REQUIRED FOR 2011 OR 2010. THE AGENCY IS SIMILARLY CLASSIFIED BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. THE AGENCY FOLLOWS AUTHORITATIVE GUIDANCE ISSUED BY FASB THAT CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ENTITY'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PRESCRIBES A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD OF MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT TO BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION. MEASUREMENT OF THE TAX UNCERTAINTY OCCURS IF THE RECOGNITION THRESHOLD HAS NOT BEEN MET. THIS GUIDANCE ALSO ADDRESSES DERECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES, DISCLOSURE, AND TRANSITION. THE AGENCY CONDUCTS BUSINESS SOLELY IN THE U.S. AND, AS A RESULT, FILES INFORMATION RETURNS FOR U.S. AND ILLINOIS. IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF BUSINESS, THE AGENCY IS SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES. THE AGENCY'S INFORMATION RETURNS FOR YEARS SUBSEQUENT TO FISCAL 2007 ARE OPEN, BY STATUTE, FOR REVIEW BY AUTHORITIES. HOWEVER, AT PRESENT, THERE ARE NO ONGOING INCOME TAX AUDITS OR UNRESOLVED DISPUTES WITH THE VARIOUS TAX AUTHORITIES THAT THE AGENCY CURRENTLY FILES OR HAS FILED WITH.</Explanation>
