The Company provided a valuation allowance equal to the deferred income tax assets for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 because it is not presently known whether future taxable income will be sufficient to utilize the loss carry-forwards. The valuation allowance could be reduced or eliminated based on future earnings and future estimates of taxable income. At each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. On the basis of this evaluation, only the portion of the deferred tax asset that is more likely than not to be realized was recognized. However, if the Company is not able to generate sufficient taxable income from its operations in the future, then a valuation allowance to reduce the Company’s U.S. deferred tax assets may be required, which would increase the Company’s expenses in the period the allowance is recognized. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $27,822,126 in U.S. federal net operating loss carry-forwards that can be utilized in future periods to reduce taxable income. However, due to changes in stock ownership, the use of the U.S. federal net operating loss carry-forwards is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has not performed a study to determine if the loss carryforwards are subject to these Section 382 limitations. $258,405 of the net operating loss carry-forwards will expire in fiscal years 2033 through 2038. The remaining net operating loss carry-forwards do not expire. In addition, the Company has net operating losses in Malta and United Kingdom totaling $447,770 and $2,010,293, respectively, with no expiration date. As of December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not identify any uncertain tax positions that would require either recognition or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in income tax expense. There was no interest or penalties recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company has a December 31 tax year-end. The federal, state and foreign income tax returns of the Company are subject to examination by various tax authorities, generally for three years after they are filed. The Company is not subject to income taxes in Bermuda. The Company’s 2021 through 2024 tax years are subject to examination.
