At December 31, 2025,
the Company had
approximately $
23.9
million of State
net operating loss carryforwards
expiring
in
various
amounts
from
2032
to
2036.
If
unused
after
2036,
their
utilization
is
limited
to
future
taxable
earnings
of
the
Company.
In assessing the
realizability of deferred
tax assets, management considered
whether it is
more likely than
not that some
portion or
all of
the deferred
tax assets
will not
be realized.
The ultimate
realization
of deferred
tax assets
is dependent
upon the generation of
future taxable income
during the periods
in which those temporary
differences become deductible.
Management considers the scheduled reversal
of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable
income, and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment.
The U.S.
Federal jurisdiction
and Florida
are the
major tax
jurisdictions where
the Company
files income
tax returns.
The Company is generally no longer subject to U.S. Federal or
State examinations by tax authorities for years before 2022.

the
years
ended
December 31,
2025 and

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.
