| TAXATION |
The Company’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 consisted of the following:
Income Tax
The Company is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxation. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded state income tax expense of approximately $2,099 and $4,323, respectively, and no federal income tax expense in either period.
The Company’s effective tax rate is 1.42% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 , compared to (5.93%) in the same period last year. Our effective tax rate is higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of projected full year profits in US.
Realization of a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future years to obtain benefit from the reversal of temporary differences.
Management considered all available evidence under existing tax law and anticipated expiration of tax statutes and determined that a full valuation allowance was required as of March 31, 2026.
We have not completed a study to determine whether and ownership change per the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as well as similar state provisions, has occurred. Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss and income tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership changes that may have occurred or that could occur in the future. These ownership changes may limit the amount of the net operating loss and income tax credit carryover that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders. Currently the approximately 70% of the Company is owned by a single shareholder since the inception of the Company through 3/31/2026, it is unlikely that a section 382 ownership change has occurred.
The following table reconciles the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
Deferred Tax
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had no net deferred tax assets due to a full valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets. The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management evaluates whether it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Based on available evidence, including historical operating results, cumulative losses, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies, management determined that a full valuation allowance was required as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.2 million and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $0.6 million, which may be available to offset future taxable income, subject to applicable limitations.
Uncertain Tax Positions
In accordance with authoritative guidance, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. The Company provided for state taxes for which the Company has a state filing requirement but has chosen not to file in these states.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax positions within the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. If the uncertain tax positions were recognized, there would not be a material impact on the effective tax rate. There were no accrued interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
A reconciliation of the amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
The Company is not currently under examination by federal, state, or foreign taxing authorities. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s 2021 through 2024 tax years generally remain subject to examination for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. In certain state jurisdictions where the Company may have nexus but has not filed income tax returns, the statute of limitations may remain open indefinitely. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities in their respective jurisdictions.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. AMC is still evaluating elections it may be eligible to make, so currently not possible to evaluate the impact of the law change to AMC. |
