        <ReturnReference>Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The Agency is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar state law. On July 1, 2009, the Agency adopted the FASB-issued guidance for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, the Agency 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 Agency and the various positions related to the potential sources of unrelated business taxable income. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. At July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010, there were no unrecognized tax benefits identified or recorded as liabilities. The Agency files Form 990 in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the State of Illinois. With few exceptions, the Agency is no longer subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2007.</Explanation>
