        <Explanation>PART X, FIN 48 FOOTNOTE: During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, ACI adopted the authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 implementation of this guidance had no impact on ACI's financial statements. ACI's information returns for years subsequent to fiscal 2006 are open, by statute, for review by authorities. ACI does not believe there are any material uncertain tax positions and, accordingly, has not recognized a liability for unrecognized tax benefits. No interest or penalties were accrued as of June 30, 2010, as a result of the adoption of this guidance. Prior to the adoption of the guidance, the ACI's policy was to recognize a liability for uncertain tax positions based on management's estimate of whether it was probable that a liability was incurred and that amount could be reasonably estimated.</Explanation>
