        <Explanation>The Organization has adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FASB ASC 740-10-50), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Management continually evaluates uncertain tax positions and expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings, as applicable. Management's evaluation is that there is no income tax liability. This evaluation is based on settled and established positions within the Internal Revenue Code and management believes there is no significant uncertainty related to its evaluation. The Organization's policy is to expense all interest and penalties as incurred, if any. No amounts of interest or penalties were recognized by the Organization during the year ended September 30, 2010. No tax years prior to 2007 remain subject to examination by federal jurisdictions.</Explanation>
