The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers all available positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, cumulative losses in recent years, projections of future taxable income, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and feasible tax planning strategies.

 

Based on this assessment, management determined that it is more likely than not that a significant portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized, primarily due to cumulative losses incurred in certain jurisdictions and the absence of sufficient objectively verifiable positive evidence to support future taxable income. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $375,977 as of March 31, 2026.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards. Certain temporary differences, including unrealized losses on short-term investments, give rise to deferred tax assets; however, due to the Company’s valuation allowance position, no corresponding tax benefit has been recognized in the current period.

 

Effective income tax rate reconciliation

 

The reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations was as follows:

 

   2026   2025 
   For the three months ended March 31, 
   2026   2025 
   US$   US$ 
US federal statutory tax rate   21.0%   21.0%
Effect of foreign tax rate differential   -14.3%   -7.4%
State income taxes, net of federal benefit   1.0%   2.5%
Non-deductible expenses   -0.1%   — 
Utilization of prior-year net operating loss carryforwards   0.2%   — 
Current year losses with no deferred tax benefit recognized   -3.4%   -5.4%
Deferred tax benefit related to prior-year losses   —    1.2%
Tax effect of temporary differences subject to valuation allowance   -1.5%   — 
 Effective income tax rate   2.9%   11.9%

 

The reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) computed at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the actual income tax provision (benefit) from continuing operations was as follows:

 

   2026   2025 
   For the three months ended March 31, 
   2026   2025 
   US$   US$ 
US federal statutory tax rate   (235,066)   (167,805)

Valuation allowance

 

The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management considers both positive and negative evidence, including historical operating results, projections of future taxable income, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. Based on this assessment, management determined that it is more likely than not that a significant portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, primarily due to cumulative losses incurred in certain jurisdictions and limited sources of future taxable income. Accordingly, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $375,977 as of March 31, 2026. The valuation allowance relates primarily to net operating loss carryforwards and certain temporary differences, including unrealized losses on investments, for which realization is uncertain.
