On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was enacted in response to the global pandemic. The CARES Act, among other things, permits NOL carryovers and carrybacks to offset 100% of taxable income for taxable years beginning before 2021. In addition, the CARES Act allows NOLs incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes. The Company does not believe the CARES Act will have a material impact on the Company’s future income tax expense or the related tax assets and liabilities. The Company has determined that, due to the potential requirement for additional investment and working capital to achieve its objectives, the undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of January 31, 2021, are not deemed indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. Furthermore, the Company has concluded that any deferred taxes with respect to the undistributed foreign earnings would be immaterial, particularly in light of the one-time repatriation of foreign earnings imposed by the TCJA and recorded in fiscal 2019. Therefore, the Company has not recorded a deferred tax liability associated with the undistributed foreign earnings as of January 31, 2021. Included in deferred tax assets is approximately $700,000 related to stock-based compensation, including non-qualified stock options. A significant number of stock options expired during fiscal 2021 because the market price of the Company’s common stock remained below the exercise price of these options. Recent market prices for the Company’s common stock remain below the exercise price of a number of options outstanding as of January 31, 2021. Should the market price of the Company’s common stock remain below the exercise price of the options, these stock options will expire without exercise. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 718-740-10, a valuation allowance has not been computed based on the decline in stock price. As of January 31, 2021, the Company has recorded valuation allowances of approximately $20.2 million related to deferred tax assets for continuing operations. These deferred tax assets relate primarily to net operating loss carryforwards in the United States and other jurisdictions. The valuation allowances were determined based on management’s judgment as to the likelihood that the deferred tax assets would not be realized. The judgment was based on an evaluation of available evidence, both positive and negative. At January 31, 2021, the Company had tax credit carry forwards for continuing operations of approximately $139,000, which amounts can be carried forward through at least 2026. As of January 31, 2021, and 2020 the company had no unrecognized tax benefits attributable to uncertain tax positions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns as well as separate returns for its foreign subsidiaries within their local jurisdictions. The Company’s U.S. federal tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS for fiscal years ended January 31, 2017 through 2021. The Company’s tax returns may also be subject to examination by state and local revenue authorities for fiscal years ended January 31, 2015 through 2021. The Company’s Singapore income tax returns are subject to examination by the Singapore tax authorities for fiscal years ended January 31, 2015 through 2021. The Company’s tax returns in other foreign jurisdictions are generally subject to examination for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2015 through January 31, 2021.
