        <ReturnReference>SCHEDULE D, PART X</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>The FASB has issued guidance that requires tax effects from an uncertain tax position to be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is more likely than not to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the more-likely-than-not threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The College is exempt from income tax under IRC Section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded by the IRC. There are no tax positions for which a material change in any unrecognized tax benefit liability is reasonable possible in the next 12 months. There is no interest or penalties recognized in the income statement or balance sheet. The tax years ending 2007, 2008 and 2009 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. This guidance did not have any impact on the College's financial statements</Explanation>

        <Identifier>Value of Housing Provided to the President of the College (Non-Taxable)</Identifier>
        <Explanation>IRS instructions to Form 990 require that the fair market value of housing provided to employees by their employer be reported on Form 990, Part VII, Section A and Schedule J, Part II. As a condition of employment, the President of Elmhurst College is required to reside at 360 Cottage Hill Avenue in Elmhurst, a residence on the campus premises. The residence serves both as a personal residence as well as a venue for regular carrying on of College business. The College has determined that the value of the use of this personal residence is not considered taxable income to the President as provided for in Internal Revenue Code Section 119. For tax year 2009, the value of the President's use of the residence is conservatively estimated to be $48,000. This estimated value is based on the fair rental value of $3,500 per month for similar houses in the area plus $500 per month for utilities to come to annual value. During tax year 2009, the President, Stephen Alan Ray made the residence his home for the year. Schedule J, Part II, Column (D) includes $48,000 of non-taxable income associated with the use of the residence provided by the College.</Explanation>
