Significant Accounting Policies SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Income Taxes

In June 2022, we assessed our deferred tax position and believed it was more likely than not that the benefit from certain net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, net capital operating loss carryforwards and other net deferred tax assets would not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we recorded a valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2022. During the second quarter of 2023, we evaluated our position based on the results of our continuing operations and determined that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize the benefit from these NOL carryforwards and other net deferred tax assets. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2023, we have reversed the valuation allowance on these deferred tax assets, totaling $21,363,000.
On May 15, we entered into the Tax Memorandum with DFS, as described in Note 1 above. As a result of this Memorandum, any benefit received from the use of UPC's net operating losses are due to the DFS as receiver of UPC. The expense related to this remittance is presented within our provision for income taxes on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), offsetting the tax benefit recognized.

(b) Changes to Significant Accounting Policies

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our former subsidiary, UPC, was placed into receivership with the DFS. As described in Note 1, effective February 27, 2023, this receivership divested our ownership of UPC. This disposal, as well as the activities related directly to supporting the business conducted by UPC were evaluated for qualification as discontinued operations. The results of operations of business are reported as discontinued operations when the disposal represents a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results. When a business is identified for discontinued operations reporting:

Results for prior periods are retroactively reclassified as discontinued operations;
Results of operations are reported in a single line, net of tax, in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss); and
Assets and liabilities are reported as held for disposal in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

Additional details by major classification of operating results and financial position are included in Note 3.

There have been no other changes to our significant accounting policies as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(c) Pending Accounting Pronouncements
We have evaluated pending accounting pronouncements and do not believe any would have an impact on the operations or financial reporting of our company.
