NOTE 10 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company had net deferred tax assets of approximately $65 million and $1.0 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which primarily relate to net operating loss carryforwards. The increase in 2019 related to the two mergers.

 

We record a valuation allowance in the full amount of our net deferred tax assets since realization of such tax benefits has been determined by our management to be less likely than not.

 

We have identified our federal and California state tax returns as “major” tax jurisdictions. The periods our income tax returns are subject to examination for these jurisdictions are 2015 through 2018. We believe our income 8 tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit, and we do not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no liabilities for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.  

 

At December 31, 2019, we had available net operating loss carry-forwards for federal income tax reporting purposes of approximately $248 million which are available to offset future taxable income. Portions of these carry-forwards will expire through 2038 if not otherwise utilized. We have not performed a formal analysis, but we believe our ability to use such net operating losses and tax credit carry-forwards is subject to annual limitations due to change of control provisions under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, which significantly impacts our ability to realize these deferred tax assets.

 

As of the date of this filing, the Company has not filed its 2019 federal and state corporate income tax returns. The Company expects to file these documents as soon as practicable.
