Net operating loss carryforwards expire in 20 years for federal income tax reporting purposes.

State net operating loss carryforwards through December 31, 2025 are approximately $26.3 million and have begun to expire in 2020. There is a full valuation allowance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 which may be reversed in future periods at a point when the Company can make the determination that the recoverability will be probable. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased and decreased by approximately $793,100 and $959,100 during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
