        <ExplanationTxt>Management has evaluated the Cooperatives tax positions and concluded that the Cooperative has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. While the Cooperative believes it has adequately provided for all tax positions, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be different than the positions taken by the Cooperative. The Cooperative and Subsidiary recognize any interest and penalties assessed by taxing authorities in income tax expense and, with few exceptions, are no longer subject to federal, state, or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2020.</ExplanationTxt>
