As of December 31, 2024, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of $15,294, which can be carried forward indefinitely, and state net operating loss carryforwards of $31,803, which begin to expire in 2030. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets of $23,165 and $14,568, respectively, which is driven by the movement in the net deferred tax assets. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the movement in the net deferred tax assets are primarily a result of the capitalized research and experimental expenditures, increase in capitalized interest expense, and generation of federal and state net operating losses. The Company intends to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on these net deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the release of all or some portion of these allowances. Release of some or all of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and an increase in deferred tax benefit for any period in which such a release may be recorded, however, the exact timing and amount of any valuation allowance release are subject to change, depending upon the level of profitability that the Company is able to achieve and the net deferred tax assets available. The Company continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The Company files tax returns in federal and certain state and local jurisdictions. The periods subject to examination are generally for tax years ended 2020 through 2023, including the following major jurisdictions: U.S. Federal, New York State, and New York City. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, reconciliation of the gross amounts of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and penalties, consists of the following:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
(In thousands) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |
