Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“Accounting standards provide guidance for how certain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing common's returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained "when challenged or "when examined" by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit and asset or expense and liability in the current year. Common files returns in the u.s. Federal jurisdiction and illinois state jurisdiction. Common is no longer subject to u.s. Federal state examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020. As of and for the year ended december 31, 2023, management has determined that there are no uncertain tax positions.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0ACCOUNTING STANDARDS PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR HOW CERTAIN TAX POSITIONS SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED, MEASURED, DISCLOSED AND PRESENTED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THIS REQUIRES THE EVALUATION OF TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN IN THE COURSE OF PREPARING COMMON'S RETURNS TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE TAX POSITIONS ARE "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" OF BEING SUSTAINED "WHEN CHALLENGED OR "WHEN EXAMINED" BY THE APPLICABLE TAX AUTHORITY. TAX POSITIONS NOT DEEMED TO MEET THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD WOULD BE RECORDED AS A TAX BENEFIT AND ASSET OR EXPENSE AND LIABILITY IN THE CURRENT YEAR. COMMON FILES RETURNS IN THE U.S. FEDERAL JURISDICTION AND ILLINOIS STATE JURISDICTION. COMMON IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO U.S. FEDERAL STATE EXAMINATIONS BY TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS BEFORE 2020. AS OF AND FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023, MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS.
