        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>LIFESHARE BLOOD CENTER, BLOOD CENTER PROPERTIES, INC., AND LIFESHARE BLOOD CENTERS FOUNDATION ARE ALL EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC). THEREFORE, NO PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN MADE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, BUT EACH ENTITY IS REQUIRED TO FILE AN ANNUAL INFORMATION RETURN. EACH ENTITY IS ALSO REQUIRED TO REVIEW VARIOUS TAX POSITIONS IT HAS TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO ITS EXEMPT STATUS AND DETERMINE WHETHER IN FACT IT IS A TAX EXEMPT ENTITY. EACH ENTITY MUST ALSO CONSIDER WHETHER IT HAS NEXUS IN JURISDICTIONS IN WHICH IT HAS INCOME AND WHETHER A TAX RETURN IS REQUIRED IN THOSE JURISDICTIONS. IN ADDITION, AS A TAX EXEMPT ENTITY, EACH ENTITY MUST ASSESS WHETHER IT HAS ANY TAX POSITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX. EACH ENTITY DOES NOT EXPECT ITS POSITIONS TO CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS. ANY PENALTIES RELATED TO LATE FILING OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS PENALTIES EXPENSE IN EACH ENTITY'S ACCOUNTING RECORDS. ALL THREE ENTITIES FILE U.S. FEDERAL FORM 990 FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES AND FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR THE TAX YEARS 2009 AND BEYOND REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.</Explanation>
