​

We have determined that a valuation allowance is not required for its net deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that this asset is realizable principally through future taxable income and future reversal of existing temporary differences.

GAAP requires the measurement of unrecorded tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. An unrecorded tax benefit is the difference between the tax benefit of a position taken, or expected to be taken, on a tax return and the benefit recorded for accounting purposes. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had no unrecorded tax benefits and do not expect our position to significantly change within the next 12 months.

We are subject to income tax in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and also in the states of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We are no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2020.
