As of December 30, 2023, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $20.9 million for federal income tax purposes, and approximately $14.8 million for state income tax purposes, which will be available to offset future taxable income. Due to recent tax legislation, the federal net operating losses are eligible for indefinite carryforward, limited by certain taxable income limitations. State net operating losses begin to expire in 2029. The Company evaluates all available evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed to reduce its deferred tax assets. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, management concluded that a valuation allowance is necessary for the state net operating loss carryforward and a portion of the federal net operating loss carryforward. Due to the 2023 sale of ARCA Canada (as part of the Recycling Subsidiaries transaction), the valuation allowance was released. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $2.8 million and $904,000 as of December 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectfully.
The Company annually conducts an analysis of its uncertain tax positions and has concluded that it has no uncertain tax positions as of December 30, 2023. The Company’s policy is to record uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
The Company files U.S. and state income tax returns in jurisdictions with differing statutes of limitations. The 2020 through 2023 tax years remain subject to selection for examination as of December 30, 2023. None of the Company’s income tax returns are currently under audit.
