The Company is in the process of filing back income tax returns from 2022 through the current year and subject to IRS examination for all years. The Company has reserved for any interest and penalty associated with the filings. Due to the non-filing of income tax returns, statutes of limitations on the potential examination of those income tax periods will continue to run until the returns are filed, at which time the statutes will begin. The Company expects to file all past due income tax returns within the next 12 months.
