EACH INCOME TAX POSITION IS ASSESSED USING A TWO STEP PROCESS. A DETERMINATION IS FIRST MADE AS TO WHETHER IT IS MORE LIKELY THAN NOT THAT THE INCOME TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED, BASED UPON TECHNICAL MERITS, UPON EXAMINATION BY THE TAXING AUTHORITIES. IF THE INCOME TAX POSITION IS EXPECTED TO MEET THE MORE LIKELY THAN NOT CRITERIA, THE BENEFIT RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS EQUALS THE LARGEST AMOUNT THAT IS GREATER THAN 50% LIKELY TO BE REALIZED UPON ITS SETTLEMENT. AT JUNE 30, 2025, THERE WERE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS REQUIRE ACCRUAL.
