NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 varied from the expected statutory rate due to the Company continuing to provide a 100% valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. The Company determined that it was appropriate to continue the full valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2022, primarily because of the Company’s history of operating losses.

 

The Company has incurred operating losses in recent years, and it continues to be in a three-year cumulative loss position at September 30, 2022. Accordingly, the Company determined there was not sufficient positive evidence regarding its potential for future profits to outweigh the negative evidence of our three-year cumulative loss position under the guidance provided in ASC 740. Therefore, it determined to continue to provide a 100% valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. The Company expects to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until it determines that it can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to realize these assets. To the extent the Company determines that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. The Company has available to it approximately $81.4 million (based on its December 31, 2021 tax return) in net operating loss carryforwards to offset future taxable income as of September 30, 2022.
