Identifier Return Reference Explanation
SCHEDULE D PART X: FIN 48 FOOTNOTE- Essentia Health has adopted Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (formerly known as FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Tax - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes). The adoption of this interpretation had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements and therefore, Essentia Health's consolidated financial statements for fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 no longer includes an ASC 740 footnote.
