NOTE 16 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1,156,675 and $398,998 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The income tax benefit of $3,044,380 and income tax expense of $803,305 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, reflects an effective tax rate of 21% and 20%, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 the Company’s effective tax rate did not differ from the federal statutory rate of 21%.

 

The Company assesses all positive and negative evidence in determining if, based on the weight of such evidence, a valuation allowance is required to be recorded against the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2023. The Company has concluded that the positive evidence of reversing taxable temporary differences, indefinite lived nature of certain available tax attributes, level of historical taxable income, projections of future taxable income and cumulative pre-tax book income on a rolling twelve-quarter basis to outweigh the negative evidence of recent losses. Accordingly, the Company has not provided for additional valuation allowance as of September 30, 2023. The realization of the deferred tax assets is contingent upon the Company’s upcoming new game releases to generate sufficient future taxable income. In the event that negative evidence outweighs positive evidence in future periods, the Company may need to record additional valuation allowance, which could have a material impact on our financial position.

 

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, management has accrued income tax liabilities for additional states as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively and is also undergoing the Voluntary Disclosure Agreement process in additional states.
