NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $805,818 and an income tax expense of $1,529,651 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate did not differ from the federal statutory rate of 21%

The Company has assessed all positive and negative evidence of whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to realize the deferred tax assets, including the level of historical taxable income and projections of future taxable income over the periods during which the deferred tax assets are deductible. The Company has a history of significant book income and taxable income for the three most recent years – with a three-year cumulative pre-tax book income of $49.2 million and three-year cumulative taxable income of $71.7 million. Therefore management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.

The Company and its subsidiaries currently file tax returns in the United States (federal and state) and Poland. The statute of limitations for its consolidated federal income tax returns are open for tax years ended December 31, 2019 and after. The statute of limitations for its consolidated state income tax returns are open for tax years ended December 31, 2018 and after. All tax periods for its Polish subsidiary are currently subject to examination since its inception in 2018. While the Company has historically only filed a state tax return in California, the management has accrued income tax liabilities for additional states as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively and is also undergoing the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement process in additional states.
