There was no valuation allowance at May 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

As of May 31, 2025, the Company had California net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $1,289,587. These NOLs are available to offset future taxable income, subject to applicable limitations. California NOLs are generally subject to a 20-year carryforward period. As of May 31, 2025, the Company did not have any federal or Utah NOL carryforwards.

 

During the year ended May 31, 2025, the Company utilized approximately $465,613 of its federal NOLs and $123,216 of its California NOLs to offset taxable income. Based on recent operating results and projected future income, management believes it is more likely than not that the remaining NOL carryforwards will be fully realized. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has been recorded as of May 31, 2025.
