Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

Part X : FIN48 Footnote

“The Association is a not-for-profit association that is exempt from income taxes under the Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code and classified by the Internal Revenue Service as a business league.The association has implemented the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes as required by FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions initially and subsequently need to be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. The Association believes that it has appropriate support for the tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns after 2006 for Federal, based on their assessment of many factors including experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter. The Association files Form 990, Return from Income Tax, in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction. With few exceptions, the Association is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0The Association is a not-for-profit association that is exempt from income taxes under the Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code and classified by the Internal Revenue Service as a business league.The association has implemented the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes as required by FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Tax positions initially need to be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions initially and subsequently need to be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. The Association believes that it has appropriate support for the tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns after 2006 for Federal, based on their assessment of many factors including experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter. The Association files Form 990, Return from Income Tax, in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction. With few exceptions, the Association is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011.
