IRS990ScheduleD/Form990ScheduleDPartXIV/Explanation0THE FOUNDATION IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER THE PROVISION OF SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE. THE FOUNDATION HAD NO UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME DURING THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2010 AND 2009, ACCORDINGLY, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES IS PROVIDED IN THE ACCOMPANYING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. EFFECTIVE FOR FISCAL YEARS ENDED 2009; THE FOUNDATION IS SUBJECT TO THE NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING RULES FOR ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES. THIS PRONOUNCEMENT PRESCRIBES A RECOGNITION THRESHOLD AND MEASUREMENT ATTRIBUTABLE FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT OF A TAX POSITION TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THE FOUNDATION'S TAX RETURN. THE EVALUATION OF A TAX POSITION IS A TWO-STEP PROCESS. THE FIRST STEP IN THE EVALUATION PROCESS IS RECOGNITION. THE FOUNDATION DETERMINES WHETHER IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT A TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION, INCLUDING RESOLUTION OF ANY RELATED APPEALS OR LITIGATION PROCESSES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. IN EVALUATING WHETHER A TAX POSITION HAS MET THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT RECOGNITION THRESHOLD, THE FOUNDATION WILL PRESUME THAT THE POSITION WILL BE EXAMINED BY THE APPROPRIATE TAXING AUTHORITY THAT HAS FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ALL RELEVANT INFORMATION. THE SECOND STEP IN THE EVALUATION PROCESS IS MEASUREMENT. A TAX POSITION THAT MEETS THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT RECOGNITION THRESHOLD IS MEASURED TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF BENEFIT TO RECOGNIZE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE TAX POSITION IS MEASURED AS THE LARGEST AMOUNT OF TAX BENEFIT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. TAX POSITIONS THAT PREVIOUSLY FAILED TO MEET THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT RECOGNITION THRESHOLD SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED IN THE FIRST SUBSEQUENT FINANCIAL REPORTING PERIOD IN WHICH: (1) THE MORE LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD IS MET. (2) THE POSITION IS "EFFECTIVELY SETTLED" BY VIRTUE OF THE CLOSING OF AN EXAMINATION WHERE THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE TAXING AUTHORITY REOPENING THE EXAMINATION OF THAT POSITION IS REMOTE. (3) THE RELEVANT STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS EXPIRES. THE FOUNDATION HAS REVIEWED ALL TAX POSITIONS AND HAS CONCLUDED IF THE TAXING AUTHORITIES WERE TO REVIEW THESE ASSESSMENTS THEY WOULD CONCUR THAT NO TAX POSITIONS FALL INTO THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT CATEGORY. AS A RESULT, NO TAX LIABILITIES ARE BEING RECORDED OR DISCLOSED.
