        <Explanation>IN JUNE 2006, THE FASB ISSUED FASB INTERPRETATION NO. 48, ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ("FIN 48"), AN INTERPRETATION OF FASB STATEMENT NO. 109. FIN 48 CLARIFIES THE ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES RECOGNIZED IN AN ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH SFAS NO. 109, ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES ("SFAS 109"). FIN 48 CLARIFIES THE APPLICATION OF SFAS 109 BY DEFINING A CRITERION THAT AN INDIVIDUAL TAX POSITION MUST MEET FOR ANY PART OF THE BENEFIT OF THAT POSITION TO BE RECOGNIZED IN AN ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. ADDITIONALLY, FIN 48 PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON MEASUREMENT, DERECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES, ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS, DISCLOSURE, AND TRANSITION. THE AMOUNT RECOGNIZED IS SUBJECT TO ESTIMATE AND MANAGEMENT JUDGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE LIKELY OUTCOME OF EACH UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION. THE AMOUNT THAT IS ULTIMATELY SUSTAINED FOR AN INDIVIDUAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION OR FOR ALL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS IN THE AGGREGATE COULD DIFFER FROM THE AMOUNT RECOGNIZED. MANAGEMENT HAS COMPLETED ITS EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF THIS STANDARD, AND THE FOUNDATION IS UNAWARE OF ANY TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE DISCLOSURE.</Explanation>

The Foundation Legal Counsel reviews such Disclosure Statements for identification of potential conflicts. Also, prior to execution of all contracts, the Foundation requires the vendor to complete a Disclosure Statement listing the principals for the contract. These vendor Disclosure Statements are compared by the Legal OFFICE to the disclosures provided by Board Members and Officers and reviewed by THE Legal OFFICE to determine if any potential conflicts of interest exist. Legal counsel shall address any concerns brought to him by the legal office regarding potential conflicts of interest with the Board of Directors. Additionally, the Board periodically performs a detailed review of the conflict of interest policy.</Explanation>
