In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible pursuant to ASC 740. The Company considers the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company’s evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets must consider both positive and negative evidence. The weight given to the potential effects of positive and negative evidence is based on the extent to which it can be objectively verified. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance is necessary for net operating losses which the Company does not believe will be utilized as well as for deferred compensation in excess of statutory limits. Based upon these considerations, the Company determined the necessary valuation allowance as of June 30, 2026.

The Company has filed tax returns in many states. Federal, Utah, California, New York, Florida, and Texas tax filings of the Company for the tax years 2022 through the present are the more significant filings that are open for examination. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, Utah, California, Florida, New York, and Texas made up 34%, 7%, 6%, 5%, and 3% of the state and local income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit.
