Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income at the time temporary differences become deductible.  The Company provides a valuation allowance to the extent that deferred tax assets may not be realized.  A valuation allowance has not been recorded against the deferred tax assets since management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are recoverable.  The Company considers future taxable income and potential tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a potential valuation allowance.  The amount of the deferred tax assets considered realizable however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.  The Company will need to generate approximately $13.6 million in taxable income in future years in order to realize the deferred tax assets recorded as of May 31, 2025 of $2,847,600.

 

The Company and its subsidiary file consolidated Federal and State income tax returns.  As of May 31, 2025, the Company had State investment tax credit carryforwards of approximately $493,000 expiring through May 2030.
