Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

FORM 990, PART XII, LINE 2C:

The process has not changed from the prior year.

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

The plan has received an exemption letter from the internal revenue service (irs) dated october 5, 2006, stating that the veba trust established under the plan was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the provisions of section 501(c)(9) of the internal revenue code (irc). No federal or state income taxes have been recorded for the year ended december 31, 2024 for unrelated business taxable income. The plan and trust are required to operate in conformity with the irc to maintain the tax-exempt status of the trust. The plan administrator believes that the plan is being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the irc and, therefore, believes that the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date. Accounting principles generally accepted in the united states of america require 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 irs. The plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE PLAN HAS RECEIVED AN EXEMPTION LETTER FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) DATED OCTOBER 5, 2006, STATING THAT THE VEBA TRUST ESTABLISHED UNDER THE PLAN WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 501(C)(9) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (IRC). NO FEDERAL OR STATE INCOME TAXES HAVE BEEN RECORDED FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024 FOR UNRELATED BUSINESS TAXABLE INCOME. THE PLAN AND TRUST ARE REQUIRED TO OPERATE IN CONFORMITY WITH THE IRC TO MAINTAIN THE TAX-EXEMPT STATUS OF THE TRUST. THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR BELIEVES THAT THE PLAN IS BEING OPERATED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE APPLICABLE REQUIREMENTS OF THE IRC AND, THEREFORE, BELIEVES THAT THE RELATED TRUST WAS TAX-EXEMPT AS OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT DATE. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE 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 IRS. THE PLAN IS SUBJECT TO ROUTINE AUDITS BY TAXING JURISDICTIONS; HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO AUDITS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS.
