Part X, Line 2:The Internal Revenue Service has determined that the Plan is exempt from federal income tax under Internal Revenue Code Sec. 501(c) (9). The Plan has been amended since receiving a favorable determination letter. However, the Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Management evaluated the Plan's tax positions and concluded that the Plan had maintained its tax exempt status and had taken no uncertain tax positions that required adjustments to the financial statements. Therefore, they believe that the Plan was qualified and the related trust tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.
Part XII, Line 4b - Other Adjustments:Change in claims incurred but not reported. Change in estimated future benefits.
