A full valuation allowance has been applied against the net deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that future taxable income will be available against which the Company can utilize the benefits therefrom.

  

The Company recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the consolidated financial statements from any such position would be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has one uncertain tax position relating to IRS code 280E. The effect of this uncertainty relates to the deductions available to the Company regarding cost of goods sold.

 

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and Canada. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state tax examinations for fiscal years prior to 2019. 

 

The Company is subject to taxation at the federal, state, and local levels in the United States and Canada.
