The Company has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $36,285 (2024 – $37,472) for U.S. Federal income tax purposes expiring between 2035 and 2038, post 2018 net operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely. The Company has net operating loss carry forwards for Canadian Federal and Québec tax purposes of approximately $80,560 (CDN$109,168), 2024 - $83,073 (CDN$112,797), and $86,816 (CDN$117,651), 2024 - $89,532 (CDN$121,572), respectively, expiring between 2037 and 2045. Realization of future tax assets is dependent on future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net future tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance increased by $1,260 and $4,905, respectively, for the years ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets as a result of the uncertainty regarding the probability of its realization. The Company has approximately $10,517 (CDN$15,185), 2024 - $9,506 (CDN$12,903) of research and development expenditures for Canadian Federal and Québec provincial purposes that are available to reduce taxable income in future years and have an unlimited carry forward period, the benefit of which has not been reflected in these financial statements. Research and development expenditures are subject to audit by the taxation authorities and accordingly, these amounts may vary. The tax effect of temporary differences between US GAAP accounting and federal income tax accounting creating deferred income tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

Assessment of the amount of value assigned to the Company's deferred tax assets under the applicable accounting rules is judgmental. The Company is required to consider all available positive and negative evidence in evaluating the likelihood that the Company will be able to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets in the future. Such evidence includes scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and the results of recent operations. Since this evaluation requires consideration of events that may occur some years into the future, there is an element of judgment involved. Realization of the Company's deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. Management does not believe that it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be sufficient to allow it to recover substantially all of the value assigned to its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has provided for a valuation allowance of the Company's deferred tax assets. The tax years subject to examination by major tax jurisdiction include the years ended February 28, 2019 and forward by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and most state jurisdictions, and the years ended February 28, 2019 and forward for the Canadian jurisdiction.
