NO INCOME TAXES WERE DUE ON UNRELATED BUSINESS INCOME FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 AND 2025. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA REQUIRE MANAGEMENT TO EVALUATE TAX POSITIONS TAKEN BY THE SOCIETY AND RECOGNIZE A TAX LIABILITY, OR ASSET, FOR AN UNCERTAIN POSITION THAT MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WOULD NOT BE SUSTAINED UPON EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. MANAGEMENT HAS EVALUATED THEIR MATERIAL TAX POSITIONS AND DETERMINED THERE ARE NO UNCERTAIN POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OF A LIABILITY, OR ASSET, OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. MANAGEMENT HAS NOT IDENTIFIED ANY UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD JEOPARDIZE THE SOCIETY'S STATUS AS A TAX-EXEMPT ENTITY. THE SOCIETY'S INCOME TAX RETURNS ARE SUBJECT TO REVIEW AND EXAMINATION BY TAX AUTHORITIES. HOWEVER, THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO REVIEWS OR EXAMINATIONS FOR ANY TAX PERIODS IN PROGRESS. INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR TAX YEARS PRIOR TO 2022 ARE NO LONGER OPEN TO EXAMINATION BY TAX AUTHORITIES.
