For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company utilized a federal corporate income tax rate of 21.0%. The Bank’s retained earnings at March 31, 2024 and 2023 include a base year ACL, which amounted to $2.2 million, for which no federal income tax liability has been recognized. The related unrecognized deferred tax liability at March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $528,000. This represents the balance of the ACL created for tax purposes as of December 31, 1987. This amount is subject to recapture in the unlikely event that the Company’s banking subsidiaries (1) make distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal tax purposes, (2) redeem their stock, or (3) liquidate. Management does not expect this temporary difference to reverse in the foreseeable future.

At March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions. In addition, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to income tax matters as of March 31, 2024 and 2023. It is the Company’s

policy to recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of the provision for income taxes. The Company is subject to U.S federal and State of Oregon income taxes. The years 2021 to 2023 remain open to examination for federal income taxes, and the years 2020 to 2023 remain open to State of Oregon examination.
