As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $540,000 of current tax receivables and $1,415,000 of current tax liabilities included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $10,570,000 of federal net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Federal net operating losses generated after 2017 do not expire and may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company also had approximately $3,983,000 of pre-tax state net operating loss carryforwards. The expiration of state NOLs carried forward varies by taxing jurisdiction. Future utilization of NOLs carried forward may be subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Company evaluates all significant available positive and negative evidence, including the existence of losses in prior years and its forecast of future taxable income, in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. The underlying assumptions the Company uses in forecasting future taxable income require significant judgment and take into consideration the Company’s recent performance. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended June 30, 2026 was a decrease of $136,000. The Company’s valuation allowance as of June 30, 2026 was related to state NOLs that are not expected to be utilized.

As of June 30, 2026, and June 30, 2025, there were $119,000 and $35,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, respectively, that if recognized would affect the annual effective tax rate. This liability is reflected as accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would affect the effective income tax rates of future periods is $119,000. The Company recognized accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. For the year ended June 30, 2026, six months ended June 30, 2025, and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized approximately $23,000, $-0-, and $1,000, respectively, in interest and penalties.

The Company files income tax returns in the United States and numerous state and local tax jurisdictions. Tax years 2022 and forward are open for examination and assessment by the Internal Revenue Service. With limited exceptions, tax years prior to 2022 are no longer open in major state and local tax jurisdictions.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the liability for uncertain tax positions is as follows:
