12. INCOME TAXES

GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.

The Company’s provision for income taxes is calculated using the liability method. Deferred income taxes are provided for all temporary differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities using tax rates enacted by law or regulation.

Reconciliations between the total income tax expense (benefit) and the amount computed using the statutory federal rate of 21% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Valuation allowances at December 31, 2025 and 2024 have been established to reduce future tax benefits not expected to be realized. Net Operating Loss (NOL) carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 are limited by the TCJA but do not expire. At December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately $67.5 million in federal NOL carryforwards and approximately $81.4 million in state NOL carryforwards expiring from 2030 through 2034. The Company also had approximately $14.5 million in federal and state NOL carryforwards at December 31, 2025 that do not expire.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in Hawaii. The Company is currently open to examination by taxing authorities for tax years ended after 2021. The Company recognizes and reports interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits if applicable, within the provision for income tax expense. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and therefore did not recognize any interest expense or penalties on unrecognized tax benefits. The Company paid no income taxes in the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
