As of September 27, 2025, we have a federal net operating loss carry forward of approximately $1.4 million from the PHILLY SWIRL acquisition. These carry forwards are subject to an annual limitation under Code Section 382 of approximately $0.4 million and will expire in 2033. We have determined there are no limitations to the total use of this tax asset and accordingly, have not recorded a valuation allowance for this deferred tax asset. Additionally, as of September 27, 2025, we have federal and state capital loss carryforwards of approximately $0.8 million primarily from the sale of marketable securities in fiscal year 2017 and unrealized losses incurred in fiscal years 2019 and 2020. These carry forwards began to expire in 2021. Except for current year usage, we have no foreseeable capital gains that would allow us to use this asset. Accordingly, we have recorded a valuation allowance for the full amount of this deferred tax asset. We have undistributed earnings of our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries. We are no longer permanently reinvested in earnings of our foreign subsidiaries for any year. No material amount of additional U.S. federal income taxes is anticipated if our undistributed earnings in our Mexican and Canadian subsidiaries were repatriated to the U.S. However, if such funds were repatriated, it would not be a material amount, as a substantial amount, if not all of the earnings, are expected to be used in the respective foreign jurisdiction for business operations. The portion of funds that may be repatriated may be subject to a minimal amount of applicable federal and state income taxes and non-U.S. income and withholding taxes. The amount of unrecognized deferred income tax liabilities related to potential federal and state income taxes and foreign withholding taxes is immaterial. We have closely monitored the development of Pillar Two – Global Minimum Tax – introduced by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) and the impact on the Company’s effective tax rate. While we do not currently estimate a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, we will continue to monitor the impact as countries implement legislation and the OECD provides additional guidance. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA”) was signed into law. The IRA made several changes to the U.S. tax code effective after December 31, 2022, including, but not limited to, a 15% minimum tax on large corporations with average annual financial statement income of more than $1 billion for a three tax-year period and a 1% excise tax on public company stock buybacks, which will be accounted for in treasury stock. We do not expect these changes to have a material impact on our provision for income taxes or financial statements. On July 4, 2025, the United States government enacted into law the One Big Beautiful Act (the “OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027. The legislation did not have a material impact on fiscal 2025 effective rate or consolidated financial statements. We will continue to review the OBBBA tax provisions to assess impacts to our consolidated financial statements.
