(1)  The Company’s net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforward was generated from losses incurred in fiscal 2023. The Company’s NOL can be carried forward indefinitely, but are limited to a 80% maximum offset of taxable income. Authoritative guidance requires a valuation allowance to be established when determining whether deferred tax assets are more likely-than-not to be realized. Based on the Company’s evaluation, we determined the net deferred tax assets do meet the requirements to be realized, and as such, no valuation allowance has been established.
