        <ExplanationTxt>The Organization has been classified as another-than private foundation and is tax-exempt under Section 501(c) 9 of Internal Revenue Code. However, as a result of the Plans funding policy, from time to time the trust may be subject to income taxes. No federal or state income taxes have been recorded at March 31, 2025 for unrelated business taxable income. In addition, the Plan and the trust are required to operate inconformity with the IRC to maintain tax-exempt status of the trust. The plan administrator and the plans tax counsel believe the plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC and, therefore, believes that the related trust is tax-exempt. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if it has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.</ExplanationTxt>
