Note 3 – Income Taxes 

 

The Company utilizes FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is “more likely-than-not” that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or noncurrent depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions.

 

For U.S. purposes, the Company has not completed its evaluation of net operating loss (NOL) utilization limitations under Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”) Section 382/383, change of ownership rules. If the Company has had a change in ownership, the NOLs would be limited or eliminated, as to the amount that could be utilized each year, based on the Code. NOLs attributable to Breakthrough Products, Inc., which are the majority of the Company’s domestic NOLs are Separate Return Limitation Year (SRLY) NOLs. Such losses may generally not be available for use (limited or eliminated).

 

The Company has not filed its State & Local Income/Franchise tax returns in states it is required to file, as such returns and liability remain open. The Company does not expect this to be a significant liability. 

 

The table below summarizes the differences between the U.S. statutory federal rate and the Company’s estimated effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

The Company also has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $59,582,000  and approximately $57,000,000 (United States, Canada and Australia) included in the deferred tax assets for March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, the majority attributable to the acquisition of Breakthrough Products, Inc. However, due to limitations of carryover attributes and separate return limitation year rules, it is unlikely the company will benefit from the NOLs and thus management has determined a 100% valuation allowance is required. Further, the Company has not completed an evaluation of the NOLs attributable to Breakthrough Products, Inc. at the date of this report.
