        <Explanation>The Blood Center is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code as an organization described in Section 501(c)(3). The Blood Center is also exempt from state income taxes. However, federal taxes may be due in the event net income is derived from activities unrelated to the organizations charitable purpose. No such income is known to exist during 2012 or 2011. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. The Blood Center has not identified or recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions for 2012 or 2011.</Explanation>
