At March 31, 2025, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal purposes of approximately $64.1 million, for state purposes of approximately $90.9 million and for city purposes of approximately $78.4 million which are available to offset future federal, state and city income and which expire over varying periods from March 2030 through March 2040. Federal net operating loss carryforwards of $16.4 million do not expire, as such losses were incurred after the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which provides for an unlimited loss carryforward period.
The Company has no uncertain tax positions. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to federal, New York State and New York City income taxation. The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before March 31, 2018. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination; with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded.
