        <Explanation>The Codification has recently issued new guidance in accounting for uncertainties in income taxes which requires that Buckner recognize in its financial statements the financial effects of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, including resolution of any appeals or litigation processes, based upon the technical merits of the tax position. The new requirements also provide guidance on measurement, classification, interest and penalties and disclosure. Tax positions taken related to Buckner's tax exempt status, unrelated business activities taxable income and deductibility of expenses and other miscellaneous tax positions have been reviewed, and management is of the opinion that material positions taken would more likely than not be sustained by examination. Accordingly, Buckner has not recorded an income tax liability for uncertain tax benefits. For the year ended December 31, 2010, there were no interest or penalties recorded or included in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2010, Buckner's tax years 2007 through 2010 remain subject to examination.</Explanation>
