Note 9 – Income Taxes

 

The Company’s income tax (expense) / benefit of $0 and $40,161 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively, is primarily due to operations outside of the United States and changes in valuation allowance related to certain deferred tax assets generated or utilized in the applicable period.

 

Deferred tax assets are regularly reviewed for recoverability by jurisdiction and valuation allowances are established based on historical and projected future taxable losses and the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences. The Company has recorded valuation allowances against the majority of its deferred tax assets of March 31, 2026, and the Company expects to maintain these valuation allowances until there is sufficient evidence that future earnings can be achieved, which is uncertain at this time.

 

The Company's consolidated financial statements contain various tax related entries as a result of operations of the two Canadian subsidiaries and are in compliance with Canadian tax laws.

 

The Company only recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statement from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. To date, the Company has not recognized such tax benefits in its financial statements.

 

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and the business interest expense limitation. ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the tax effects of changes in tax rates and laws to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Those effects, both current tax and deferred tax, are reported as part of continuing operations. The Company is currently assessing the impact of OBBBA on its Consolidated Financial Statements but does not believe that the OBBBA will have a material impact on the Company's income tax expense.

 

In July 2025, OBBBA amended section 951A for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, replacing the prior Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) regime with a net Controlled Foreign Corporation (“CFC”) tested income inclusion framework. The legislation also modified related provisions, including the deduction under section 250 for amounts included under section 951A. The Company has evaluated the impact of these changes on its income tax accounting and related disclosures under ASC 740, including the effect on its estimated annual effective tax rate and taxes on foreign earnings. The Company does not expect the impact of these changes to be material to its financial statements.
