NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

 The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset of $7,223,255 and a deferred tax liability of $371,560 as of June 30, 2024, primarily relating to its allowance for credit losses of $3,970,000 and tax credits of approximately $1,323,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2043. During fiscal 2024, the Company utilized all Federal loss carryforwards. In addition the Company has state operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4,516,000 and city operating loss carryforwards of approximately $618,000. The net operating losses begin to expire in 2026 for state income tax purposes. The Company has also recorded a valuation allowance against $2,746,000 of the state operating losses since the Company doesn’t anticipate being able to utilize them.

The Company files corporate income tax returns in the United States (federal) and in various state and local jurisdictions. In most instances, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2020.

Future ownership changes as determined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue code could further limit the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards. As of June 30, 2024, no such changes in ownership have occurred.

The Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) was enacted on August 16, 2022. The IRA includes provisions imposing a 1% excise tax on share repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022 and introduces a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on adjusted financial statement income. The CAMT will be effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022. Currently, the IRA did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets decreased during the year ended June 30, 2024, by approximately $171,000. The valuation allowance decreased by approximately $78,000 during the year ended June 30, 2023.
