US GAAP requires the organization to evaluate tax positions taken by the organization and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. NEPM has analyzed the tax positions taken and has concluded that as of June 30, 2021, there are no significant uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.
