In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. As a part of this evaluation, the Company assesses all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, the availability of tax carrybacks, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations, to determine whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize existing deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances of $230,000, $231,000 and $216,000 as of April 30, 2026, January 31, 2026 and April 30, 2025, respectively, are needed for certain state net operating loss carryforwards to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The net change in the valuation allowance for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 was a decrease of $1,000 and $20,000, respectively.

For the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, the effective income tax rates were 25.0% and 26.4%, respectively. Our effective tax rate varies from the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to state taxes.

As of April 30, 2026 and 2025, income taxes payable of $242,000 and $237,000, respectively, were included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The January 31, 2023 and subsequent fiscal years remain open for examination by the IRS and some state jurisdictions. The January 31, 2022 and subsequent fiscal years remain open for the remaining state jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under federal or state examination.
