Supplemental Narrative

Financial Statement Notes

PART X, LINE 2:

“The trust funding the plans has received an exemption letter from the internal revenue service dated may 25, 1990, stating that the trust is taxexempt under the provisions of section 501(c)(9) of the internal revenue code (the "irc") as a voluntary employees' beneficiary association. The plans and the trust are required to operate in conformity with the irc to maintain its qualified status. The management of lifeway believes the plans are 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 management to evaluate tax positions taken by the trust and recognize a tax liability or asset if the trust has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the irs. Upon consideration and review of the tax positions taken by the plan as of september 30, 2024 and prior, as well as the likelihood of the tax benefit, we believe that the plan has not taken material uncertain tax positions as defined by accounting standards for uncertainty in income taxes, and no accrual, adjustments or financial statement disclosures outside of that which is required are considered necessary.”

IRS990ScheduleD/SupplementalInformationDetail/ExplanationTxt0THE TRUST FUNDING THE PLANS HAS RECEIVED AN EXEMPTION LETTER FROM THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE DATED MAY 25, 1990, STATING THAT THE TRUST IS TAXEXEMPT UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 501(C)(9) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE (THE "IRC") AS A VOLUNTARY EMPLOYEES' BENEFICIARY ASSOCIATION. THE PLANS AND THE TRUST ARE REQUIRED TO OPERATE IN CONFORMITY WITH THE IRC TO MAINTAIN ITS QUALIFIED STATUS. THE MANAGEMENT OF LIFEWAY BELIEVES THE PLANS ARE 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 MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE TRUST AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY OR ASSET IF THE TRUST HAS TAKEN AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE IRS. UPON CONSIDERATION AND REVIEW OF THE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE PLAN AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND PRIOR, AS WELL AS THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE TAX BENEFIT, WE BELIEVE THAT THE PLAN HAS NOT TAKEN MATERIAL UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS AS DEFINED BY ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, AND NO ACCRUAL, ADJUSTMENTS OR FINANCIAL STATEMENT DISCLOSURES OUTSIDE OF THAT WHICH IS REQUIRED ARE CONSIDERED NECESSARY.
