Pursuant to ASC 740, we must consider all positive and negative evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets. ASC 740 provides four possible sources of taxable income to realize deferred tax assets: 1) taxable income in prior carryback years, 2) reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities, 3) tax planning strategies and 4) projected future taxable income. As of September 30, 2021, we have no available taxable income in prior carryback years, limited reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities or prudent and

feasible tax planning strategies. Therefore, the recoverability of our deferred tax assets is dependent upon generating future taxable income.

As of September 30, 2017, we no longer had federal NOL carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has state NOL carryforwards of approximately $11.4 million for state income tax purposes, which resulted in a deferred tax asset of $0.7 million, and expire at various dates from 2029 through 2032.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our uncertain tax positions. Although we believe our tax return positions are sustainable, we recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions in the consolidated financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the positions will not be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits and a consideration of the relevant taxing authority’s administrative practices and precedents. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will impact the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate, as well as the related net interest and penalties.

We are subject to tax by federal, state, and foreign taxing authorities. Until the respective statutes of limitations expire, we are subject to income tax audits in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal tax assessments for fiscal years prior to 2018, we are not subject to assessments prior to the 2015 fiscal year for the majority of the State jurisdictions and we are not subject to assessments prior to the 2016 calendar year for the majority of the foreign jurisdictions.
