NOTE 5 — INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2019, the Company had $5.9 million of U.S. federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards. These losses do not expire but are limited to utilization of 80% of taxable income in any one year. At December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $13.2 million of U.S. state net operating loss carry forwards. The tax benefits related to these state net operating loss carry forwards and future deductible temporary differences are recorded to the extent management believes it is more likely than not that such benefits will be realized. The income of foreign subsidiaries before taxes was $393,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 as compared to income before taxes of $215,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.       

The Company analyzed the future reasonability of recognizing its deferred tax assets at December 31, 2019. As a result, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance of approximately $2,100,000 would be recorded against the assets.

Although the Company generated a net operating loss, it recorded income tax expense of approximately $4,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2019, primarily resulting from state income taxes. During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2,000. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $19,000 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $73,000.     

The Company is subject to examination and assessment by tax authorities in numerous jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s open tax years for examination for U.S. federal tax are 2016-2018, and for U.S. states’ tax are 2015-2018. Based on the outcome of tax examinations or due to the expiration of statutes of limitations, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken in previously filed returns may be different from the liabilities that have been recorded for these unrecognized tax benefits. As a result, the Company may be subject to additional tax expense.
