Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of (a) temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, and (b) operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. The tax effects of significant items comprising the TRS’s deferred taxes as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires that the tax benefit of net operating losses, temporary differences and credit carryforwards be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses that realization is “more likely than not.” Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the TRS’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period.  Because of the TRS’s recent history of operating losses, and management’s inability to accurately project future taxable income, management believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from the above-mentioned future tax benefits is currently not likely to be realized and, accordingly, has provided a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The amount of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets associated with excess tax deduction from stock-based incentive arrangements that is allocated to contributed capital if the future tax benefits are subsequently recognized is $0.0 million.

The TRS concluded that it cannot make a reasonable estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and therefore, the TRS used the year-to-date effective tax rate in determining the amount of income tax expense to recognize.

Net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards as of June 30, 2025 are as follows:
