In assessing the realization 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 ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. During 2024 and 2023, based on the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, the Company believes the net deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. There are no unrecorded tax benefits, and the Company does not expect the total amount of unrecognized income tax benefits to significantly increase in the next twelve months. On June 28, 2024, the State of New Jersey enacted legislation (A.B. 4704) introducing a 2.5% surtax, termed the "Corporate Transit Fee," applicable to corporations with New Jersey allocated taxable net income exceeding $10 million. This fee is effective for privilege periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2028, and is in addition to the standard Corporation Business Tax (CBT) rate of 9%, resulting in a combined tax rate of 11.5% for affected corporations. The Corporate Transit Fee applies to the entire taxable net income of corporations surpassing the $10 million threshold, not just the income above this amount. For combined group filers, the fee is assessed at the group level, and the income of all members, including public utilities and S corporations, is considered in determining the group's liability. The Company files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by federal, state, and local taxing authorities. The Company regularly assesses developments in tax laws and regulations that may impact its effective tax rate and financial reporting. The Company’s federal income tax returns that are currently open and subject to examination are from the tax year 2021 return and forward. The Company’s state income tax returns are generally open from the tax year 2020 and forward based on individual state statutes of limitations. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has $29.5 million in New Jersey net operating loss (NOL). Of that total, $15.2 million is set to expire on December 31, 2043 and $14.3 million is set to expire on December 31, 2044.
