      <Explanation>Our tax year covers July 1 thru June 30. Once the tax year is complete, we compile annual financial reports, which are then audited. We do not receive the final audited financial statements until December of each year. Therefore, we are unable to file Form 990 by the deadline of November 15th for any year. We typically file Form 8868 each year requesting an extension. However, this past fall we had turnover in four of our six accounting positions, including a senior financial specialist and the director of finance. These transitions occurred between September and December of 2010 during which time we were trying to prepare annual financial statements and undergoing our annual audit. The filing of Form 8868 was overlooked during this extensive transition. We have taken steps to ensure this oversight does not occur in future years.</Explanation>
