No provision for income taxes is reflected in the accompanying financial statements for the years ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The Organization adopted 'Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes' accounting standards on January 1, 2009 which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. 'Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes' requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Organization's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are 'more-likely-than-not' of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Since the Organization is a not-for-profit for income tax purposes, no income tax provision is reflected in the financial statements. The Organization believes that the adoption of 'Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes' does not have an impact on its results of operations or financial condition.
