The net deferred tax liability of $4.0 million as of May 31, 2025 relates to the stock acquisition of Eximo Medical Ltd. primarily related to book intangibles partially offset by tax net operating losses and capitalized R&D expenditures. The net deferred tax liability of $4.9 million as of May 31, 2024 relates to the stock acquisition of Eximo Medical Ltd. primarily related to book intangibles partially offset by tax net operating losses and capitalized R&D expenditures.
The Company's U.S. Federal net operating loss carryforwards as of May 31, 2025 after considering IRC Section 382 limitations are $135.6 million. The expiration of the Federal net operating loss carryforwards are as follows: $37.1 million between 2030 and 2032, and $98.5 million indefinitely.
The Company's state net operating loss carryforwards as of May 31, 2025 after considering remaining IRC Section 382 limitations are $23.9 million which expire in various years from 2030 to 2043. The Company has Israel tax net operating losses of $19.2 million that can be carried forward indefinitely.
Beginning in 2018, except for the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income, the Company will no longer record United States federal income tax on its share of the income of its foreign subsidiaries, nor will it record a benefit for foreign tax credits related to that income. Upon distribution of these earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to withholding taxes payable, where applicable, to foreign countries, but would have no further federal income tax liability. The Company intends to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted foreign earnings of all other subsidiaries as of May 31, 2025, as well as all subsequent earnings generated by all of our foreign subsidiaries. Determining the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to any additional outside basis difference in these entities is not practical.
The Company regularly assesses its ability to realize its deferred tax assets. Assessing the realization of deferred tax assets requires significant management judgment. In determining whether its deferred tax assets are more likely than not realizable, the Company evaluated all available positive and negative evidence, and weighted the evidence based on its objectivity.
Based on the review of all available evidence, the Company determined that it has not yet attained a sustained level of profitability and the objectively verifiable negative evidence outweighed the positive evidence. As a result of the full impairment of Goodwill and the reversal of the naked credit deferred tax liability sourced income, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on its US net deferred tax assets as of May 31, 2025. The Company will continue to assess the level of the valuation allowance required. If sufficient positive evidence exists in future periods to support a release of some or all of the valuation allowance, such a release would likely have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.
The Company's consolidated income tax expense has differed from the amount that would be provided by applying the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate to the Company's income before income taxes for the following reasons:

The table above includes unrecognized tax benefits associated with the calculation of limitations placed on the utilization of tax attributes related to an acquired company.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. There are no accrued interest and penalties recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 31, 2025 and 2024.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Fiscal years 2022 through 2024 remain open to examination by the various tax authorities.
The Company does not anticipate that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
