The Form 5500 annual report has been filed with the Employee Benefits Security Administration, as required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Your plan is a single employer, defined contribution plan with the following characteristics: profit sharing, total participant-directed account, code section 401(k) feature, code section 401(m) arrangement, total or partial participant-directed account,

These expenses included $16,458 in administrative expenses and $235,632 in benefits paid to participants and beneficiaries, and $0 in other expenses. A total of 108 persons were participants in or beneficiaries of the plan at the end of the plan year, although not all of these persons had yet earned the right to receive benefits.

The value of plan assets, after subtracting liabilities of the plan, was $6,658,355 as of the end of the plan year, compared to $5,484,687 as of the beginning of the plan year. During the plan year the plan experienced a change in its net assets of $1,173,668.

Information Regarding Plan Assets

The U.S. Department of Labor's regulations require that an independent qualified public accountant audit the plan's financial statements unless certain conditions are met for the audit requirement to be waived. This plan met the audit waiver conditions for the plan year beginning 01/01/2023 and therefore has not had an audit performed. Instead, the following information is provided to assist you in verifying that the assets reported on the Form 5500 were actually held by the plan.

At the end of the plan year, the plan had qualifying plan assets at the following institution(s):

Empower Trust Company, LLC
$6,658,355.11

The plan receives year-end statements from these regulated financial institutions that confirm the above information.

The remainder of the plan's assets were held in individual participant accounts with investments directed by participants and beneficiaries and with account statements from regulated financial institutions furnished to the participant or beneficiary at least annually, qualifying employer securities and loans to participants and other qualifying assets.
