Note 9 – Income Taxes

As of June 30, 2021, we had federal NOLs of approximately $240.7 million. NOLs generated prior to tax-year 2018 will expire in years through fiscal 2037 while NOLs generated in 2018 and forward carry-over indefinitely. The gain resulting from the conveyance of the school condominium to the SCA was fully offset by our available NOL carryforward. Since 2009 through June 30, 2021, we have utilized approximately $23.9 million of our federal NOLs.  As of June 30, 2021, we also had state NOLs of approximately $136.0 million. These state NOLs have various expiration dates through 2039, if applicable. We also had New York State and New York City prior NOL conversion (“PNOLC”) subtraction pools of approximately $23.6 million and $18.0 million, respectively. The conversion to the PNOLC under the New York State and New York City corporate tax reforms does not have any material tax impact.

Based on management’s assessment, we believe it is more likely than not that the entire deferred tax assets will not be realized by future taxable income or tax planning strategy. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance of $64.6 million as of June 30, 2021. If our assumptions change and we determine we will be able to realize these NOLs, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets would be recognized as a reduction of income tax expense and an increase in stockholders equity.

On March 27, 2020, the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act" was signed into law.  The CARES Act, suspended the limitations under the TCJA on the use of NOLs for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021, and allowed losses arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021 to be carried back up to five years. The CARES Act also accelerated the ability of corporations to recover AMT credits, permitting a full refund for tax years 2018 and 2019. Additionally, the CARES Act included provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of employer side social security payments, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.
