Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. The guidance requires the Company to recognize in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position if that position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has no current or deferred tax due to current and projected losses for the year.
At July 31, 2026, the Company had no uncertain tax positions. The Company does not expect any material increases or decreases in its income tax expense or benefit in the next twelve months, related to examinations or uncertain tax positions. Net operating losses and credit carryforwards since inception remain open to examination by taxing authorities and will continue to remain open for a period of time after utilization.
Tax Preservation Plan
In June 2023, in order to protect the Company’s valuable tax assets related to its net operating losses from being limited or lost under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Company adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the “Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (each, a “Right”) for each outstanding share of common stock of the Company. The dividend was distributed to stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 11, 2023. The Plan substantially diminishes the risk that the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryovers to reduce potential future federal income tax obligations may become substantially limited. The Plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group acquiring beneficial ownership of 4.99% or more of the outstanding common stock without approval by potentially subjecting any such person or group to significant dilution. The Plan was approved by shareholders by a non-binding advisory vote at the Company’s Annual Meeting held on February 28, 2024. The Plan was amended and restated on June 29, 2026 to among other things extend the life of the Plan through June 29, 2029.
The Company determined the grant date fair value of the Rights using an option-pricing model. The amount was immaterial to the consolidated financial statements and deemed to be de minimis, and accordingly was not recorded to the financial statements.
