Return Reference	PART X:	ReturnReference
Explanation	THE PORTS ASSOCIATION OF LOUISIANA IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAXES UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CODE SECTIONS 501(C)(6) AND THE LOUISIANA REVISED STATUTES; THEREFORE, NO PROVISION FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES HAS BEEN MADE. THE ASSOCIATION APPLIES A "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" RECOGNITION THRESHOLD FOR ALL TAX UNCERTAINTIES. THIS APPROACH ONLY ALLOWS THE RECOGNITION OF THOSE TAX BENEFITS THAT HAVE A GREATER THAN 50% PERCENT LIKELIHOOD OF BEING SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES. AS A RESULT OF IMPLEMENTING THIS APPROACH, THE ASSOCIATION HAS REVIEWED ITS TAX POSITIONS AND DETERMINED THERE WERE NO OUTSTANDING, OR RETROACTIVE TAX POSITIONS WITH LESS THAN A 50% LIKELIHOOD OF BEING SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES, THEREFORE THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS STANDARD HAS NOT HAD A MATERIAL EFFECT ON THE ASSOCIATION. THE ASSOCIATION'S TAX RETURNS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011, 2010, AND 2009 REMAIN OPEN AND SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES.	Explanation
