During the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded an increase in the valuation allowance of $734 and $3,190, respectively, related to federal deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are recorded related to net operating losses and temporary differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities expected to produce tax deductions in future periods. The realization of these assets depends on recognition of sufficient future taxable income in specific tax jurisdictions in which those temporary differences or net operating losses are deductible.
Throughout the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company has been assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets by considering positive factors such as the next three years’ profit projection making it more likely than not that the Company will be able to recognize a deferred tax asset on losses. Based upon historical performance of the Company, a valuation allowance of 100% was recorded as there is currently no significant evidence to indicate realizability of deferred tax assets. During the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of 100% and 100% of UK and Hong Kong losses.
The Company is subject to US federal income tax, as well as income tax in multiple US state and local jurisdictions and a number of foreign jurisdictions. Returns for the years since fiscal year 2022 are still open based on statutes of limitation only.

About Income Taxes Disclosures
The income tax disclosure reveals how much a company actually pays in taxes versus what the statutory rate would predict. Analysts focus on the effective tax rate (ETR) reconciliation, which breaks down every item driving the gap between the 21% federal rate and the company's reported ETR — including R&D credits, foreign rate differentials, and state taxes. Deferred tax assets (DTAs) and their valuation allowances signal management's confidence in future profitability: a rising allowance suggests the company doubts it can use accumulated tax benefits. Uncertain tax benefit (UTB) reserves quantify exposure to IRS challenges on aggressive positions.
Key signals to watch: sudden ETR drops without clear operational reasons, large increases in valuation allowances, growing UTB balances, and significant unremitted foreign earnings. Post-TCJA, pay attention to GILTI and BEAT provisions that affect multinational tax structures. Compare the cash taxes paid (from the cash flow statement) against the income tax provision to gauge earnings quality.
