For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company utilized a federal corporate income tax rate of 21.0%. The Bank’s retained earnings at March 31, 2026 and 2025 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, 2026 and 2025 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.

As of March 31, 2026, the Bank had net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL”) for federal income tax purposes of $1.3 million. This NOL is carried forward indefinitely but is limited to 80% of taxable income.

At March 31, 2026 and 2025, 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, 2026 and 2025. 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 2022 to 2024 remain open to examination for federal income taxes, and the years 2021 to 2024 remain open to State of Oregon examination.

About Income Taxes Disclosures

The income tax disclosure reveals how much a company actually pays in taxes versus what the statutory rate would predict. Analysts focus on the effective tax rate (ETR) reconciliation, which breaks down every item driving the gap between the 21% federal rate and the company's reported ETR — including R&D credits, foreign rate differentials, and state taxes. Deferred tax assets (DTAs) and their valuation allowances signal management's confidence in future profitability: a rising allowance suggests the company doubts it can use accumulated tax benefits. Uncertain tax benefit (UTB) reserves quantify exposure to IRS challenges on aggressive positions.

Key signals to watch: sudden ETR drops without clear operational reasons, large increases in valuation allowances, growing UTB balances, and significant unremitted foreign earnings. Post-TCJA, pay attention to GILTI and BEAT provisions that affect multinational tax structures. Compare the cash taxes paid (from the cash flow statement) against the income tax provision to gauge earnings quality.
