| SCHEDULE D, PAGE 3, PART X | SWMEPA IS EXEMPT FROM INCOME TAX UNDER SECTION 501(C)(12) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND IS ALSO EXEMPT FROM STATE INCOME TAX. ACCOUNTING RULES PRESCRIBE WHEN TO RECOGNIZE AND HOW TO MEASURE THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT EFFECT, IF ANY, OF INCOME TAX POSITIONS TAKEN OR EXPECTED TO BE TAKEN ON INCOME TAX RETURNS INCLUDING THE POSITION THAT THE SWMEPA WILL CONTINUE TO QUALIFY AS A TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION. MANAGEMENT EVALUATES THE LIKELIHOOD THAT, UPON EXAMINATION BY RELEVANT TAXING JURISDICTIONS, THOSE INCOME TAX POSITIONS WOULD BE SUSTAINED. BASED ON THAT EVALUATION, IF IT WERE MORE THAN 50% PROBABLE THAT A MATERIAL AMOUNT OF INCOME TAX WOULD BE IMPOSED ON SWMEPA UPON EXAMINATION BY THE RELEVANT TAXING AUTHORITIES, A LIABILITY WOULD BE RECOGNIZED IN THE BALANCE SHEET ALONG WITH ANY INTEREST AND PENALTIES THAT WOULD RESULT FROM THAT ASSESSMENT. SHOULD ANY PENALTIES AND INTEREST BE INCURRED, SWMEPA'S POLICY WOULD BE TO RECOGNIZE THEM AS OPERATING EXPENSES. BASED ON MANAGEMENT'S EVALUATION, NO LIABILITIES OR PENALTIES AND INTEREST WERE REQUIRED TO BE RECORDED FOR UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS. YEARS THAT REMAIN SUBJECT TO EXAMINATION BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AND THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2025 WERE 2023- 2025. |
