As of January 1, 2022, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $14.2 million for federal income tax purposes, which will be available to offset future taxable income. Due to recent tax legislation, these net operating losses are eligible for indefinite carryforward, limited by certain taxable income limitations. The Company evaluates all available evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed to reduce its deferred tax assets. Management has concluded that it is more likely than not that its existing tax benefits in the U.S. and Canada will not be realized. Consequently, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $7.5 million as of January 1, 2022 to reduce its deferred tax assets.

The Company annually conducts an analysis of its uncertain tax positions and has concluded that it has no uncertain tax positions as of January 1, 2022. 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 2016 through 2020 tax years remain subject to selection for examination as of January 1, 2022. None of the Company’s income tax returns are currently under audit.
