FASB ASC 740 DISCLOSURE: FORM 990, SCHEDULE D, PART X, LINE 2

THE EFFECTS OF A TAX POSITION CANNOT BE RECOGNIZED IN THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNLESS IT IS "MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT" TO BE SUSTAINED BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS AS OF THE REPORTING DATE. THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD REPRESENTS A POSITIVE ASSERTION BY MANAGEMENT THAT NPR IS ENTITLED TO THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF A TAX POSITION. IF A TAX POSITION IS NOT CONSIDERED MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT TO BE SUSTAINED BASED SOLELY ON ITS TECHNICAL MERITS, NO BENEFITS OF THE POSITION ARE TO BE RECOGNIZED. MOREOVER, THE MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THRESHOLD MUST CONTINUE TO BE MET IN EACH REPORTING PERIOD TO SUPPORT CONTINUED RECOGNITION OF A BENEFIT. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, THERE WERE NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS FOR WHICH A LIABILITY SHOULD BE RECORDED.
