Note 11 – Income Taxes

At June 30, 2020 the Company has aggregate tax net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $82.1 million ($61.6 million of unrestricted net operating tax losses and approximately $20.5 million of restricted net operating tax losses). Substantially all of the net operating loss carry forwards expire between 2024 and 2037. The Company’s utilization of restricted net operating tax loss carry forwards against future income for tax purposes is restricted pursuant to the “change in ownership” rules in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The reported tax expense varies from the amount that would be provided by applying the statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to the income from operations before taxes primarily as a result of the change in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, offset by an increase in state tax expense of approximately $0.1 million due to California’s three-year net operating loss carryforward suspension effective June 29, 2020.

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes such assets will more likely than not be realized. As a result of cumulative losses and uncertainty with respect to future taxable income, the Company has provided a partial valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2020, management determined that there is sufficient positive evidence to conclude that is it more likely than not that additional deferred taxes of $1.3 million are realizable. As a result the valuation allowance was reduced accordingly.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act contains numerous income tax provisions, including changes which may enable a greater potential for utilizing net operating loss carry forwards. While the Company continues to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act, it does not currently believe it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
