At December 31, 2025, the Company had state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for income tax purposes of approximately $22.2 million, which expire between 2034 and 2045, $27.6 million of which has an indefinite carryforward period. The Company has determined that, at December 31, 2025 and 2024 its ability to realize future benefits of its state NOL carryforwards does not meet the “more likely than not” criteria in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Therefore, a valuation allowance for state NOL carryforwards of $2.4 million and $3.1 million has been recorded at December 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company has determined that at December 31, 2025 and 2024, its ability to realize future benefits of its capital loss carryforward, unrealized loss on investments and foreign NOL carryforwards do not meet the “more likely than not” criteria in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Therefore, a valuation allowance for capital loss carryforward of $4.1 million, unrealized loss on investments of $3.1 million and foreign NOL carryforwards of $1.4 million has been recorded at December 31, 2025 and a valuation allowance for capital loss carryforward of $4.1 million, unrealized loss on investments of $3.1 million and foreign NOL carryforwards of $1.8 million has been recorded as of December 31, 2024. ASC 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company has determined that they did not have any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition as a result of the provisions of ASC 740-10-25. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions as part of interest expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, no estimated interest or penalties were recognized for the uncertainty of tax positions taken. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. In general, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations for years prior to 2022. In 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Security Act (the “CARES Act”) to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The CARES Act provides tax relief, along with other stimulus measures, including a provision for an Employee Retention Credit (“ERC”). ERC is a refundable tax credit for employers who kept employees on their payroll during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company applied for the ERC in 2024. The Company considered the ERC to be a contingent gain. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received and recorded an employee retention credit totaling $5.5 million, within the “Other income, net” in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
