| INCOME TAX STATUS | NOTE E – INCOME TAX STATUS The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined and informed the Company by a letter dated June 21, 2017, that, in the opinion of the IRS, the terms of the Plan conform to the requirements of Code Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Although the Plan has been amended and restated since the effective date of the determination letter, the Plan’s administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC. GAAP requires the Plan’s management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan’s administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, there are no uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no tax audits for any tax periods in progress. |
