INCOME TAXES

 

The Company utilizes its estimated annual effective tax rate to determine its provision or benefit for income taxes for interim periods. The income tax provision or benefit is computed by multiplying the estimated annual effective tax rate by the year-to-date pre-tax book income (loss). The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, therefore resulting in 0.0% effective tax rate for both periods. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 21% as a result of state taxes (net of federal benefit) and the net change in valuation allowance against the net deferred tax asset the Company believes is not more likely than not to be realized.  The Company continues to carry a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and eleven state jurisdictions. The preparation of tax returns requires management to interpret the applicable tax laws and regulations in effect in such jurisdictions, which could affect the amount of tax paid by the Company. Management, in consultation with its tax advisors, files its tax returns based on interpretations that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The income tax returns, however, are subject to routine reviews by the various taxing authorities.  As part of these reviews, a taxing authority may disagree with respect to the tax positions taken by management (“uncertain tax positions”) and therefore may require the Company to pay additional taxes. Management evaluates the requirement for additional tax accruals, including interest and penalties, which the Company could incur as a result of the ultimate resolution of its uncertain tax positions. Management reviews and updates the accrual for uncertain tax positions as more definitive information becomes available from taxing authorities, completion of tax audits, expiration of statute of limitations, or upon occurrence of other events.

 

As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, there was no liability for income tax associated with unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as well as any related penalties in interest income or expense in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, which is consistent with the recognition of these items in prior reporting periods.

 

In general, the Company’s open tax years range from fiscal years ended 2020 to 2025. The Company has net operating loss carry forwards, which cause the federal and state statutes to remain open for earlier fiscal years. 

 

On July 4, 2025, the President of the U.S. signed into law the One Big Beautiful Business Act of 2025 (the “Tax Act of 2025”). The legislation includes numerous changes to U.S. corporate income tax law, including but not limited to permanent 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property, immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifications to the limitation on business interest expense, increased Section 179 expensing limits, changes to the international tax regime, and expanded limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Most provisions are effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, with certain transition rules and exceptions. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes, the financial statement effect of newly enacted tax legislation much be recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. As such, the Company will reflect the impact of this legislative change in its condensed consolidated financial statements beginning in the second quarter for the year ending March 31, 2026.

 

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Tax Act of 2025 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The effects of the new law, including remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes to current and future tax expense, will be reflected in the period of enactment and in future periods as additional guidance is issued, and the Company completes its analysis.
