        <Identifier>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>Part X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>ACHE is a tax-exempt organization under Internal Revenue Code Sections 501(c)(6), and is subject to taxes on unrelated business income, which are generally ACHE's advertising revenues. ACHE had $1,336,227 and $1,343,213 in gross advertising revenues, and incurred $306,375 and $291,125 in income tax expense, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which is included in other expenses. The accounting standard on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes 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 Organization 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. Examples of tax positions include the tax-exempt status of the Organization and various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). There were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities for the reporting periods included in these financial statements. ACHE files the Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. ACHE is generally no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2008.</Explanation>
