INCOME TAXES

10. INCOME TAXES

There was no Federal income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022 due to the Company’s net losses. Income tax expense represents minimum state taxes due. As a result of the Company’s history of incurring operating losses, a full valuation allowance has been established to offset all deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2023 and no benefit has been provided for the year-to-date loss. On a quarterly basis, the company evaluates the positive and negative evidence to assess whether the more likely than not criteria have been satisfied in determining whether there will be further adjustments to the valuation allowance.
