As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities consisted of the effects of temporary differences attributable to the following (in thousands):

 

               
    As of March 31,
    2026   2025
Deferred tax assets:                
The balance comprises temporary differences attributable to:                
Tax loss   $ 4,265     $ 3,935  
Share-based compensation     11       397  
Reserves and accruals              17  
Total deferred tax assets     4,276       4,349  
Deferred tax asset not recognized     (4,276 )     (4,349 )
Net deferred tax asset   $        $     

 

The Company assesses its deferred tax assets for recognition by considering both positive and negative evidence in order to ascertain whether it is probable that deferred tax assets will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Due to the history of losses the Company has generated in the past, the Company believes that it is not probable that all of the deferred tax assets in the U.S. and U.K. can be realized as of March 31, 2026; accordingly, the Company has not recognized any of its deferred tax assets.

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets not recognized decreased by $0.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2026. The change in the deferred tax assets not recognized was primarily due to the true-up adjustment for stock compensation.

 

The Company has concluded that there are no uncertain tax treatments that require disclosure or recognition.

 

On December 20, 2021, the OECD published the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (the "GloBE Rules"), also known as Pillar II. The GloBE Rules aim to impose a global minimum tax of 15% on multinational enterprises with a revenue in excess of €750 million. As the Company’s revenue is below this threshold, it is currently outside the scope of the Pillar II rules.

 

The Company continues to monitor developments in jurisdictions where it operates, including the U.K., U.S., and British Virgin Islands. As of the reporting date, Pillar II is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

On July 4th 2025, President Trump signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA includes changes to U.S. tax law applicable to the Company beginning in 2025. The impact of the OBBBA on the Company's consolidated financial statements have been reflected in its current and deferred taxes; however, the enactment did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
