12. INCOME TAXES (As Restated)
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company maintained a valuation allowance of $66,049 and $83,153, respectively. The valuation allowance was recorded due to the fact that the Company has incurred operating losses to date.
Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain. Accordingly, the net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. The valuation allowance decreased by approximately $17,100 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and increased by approximately $22,800 during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The Company’s financial statements included a full valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets before the acquisition of Even Financial. After considering the Even Acquisition, the projected consolidated results, and the available net deferred tax liability from Even Financial of approximately $28,400, the Company was able to release part of the valuation allowance due to the change in the overall net deferred tax asset. While this adjustment is a result of the Even Acquisition, ASC 805 requires that the benefits be recognized in income or equity, as applicable, and not as a component of acquisition accounting. The partially offsetting increase to the valuation allowance of approximately $11,300 was in relation to normal business operations.
Total U.S. federal and state operating loss carryforwards as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were approximately $703,800 and $517,700, respectively. U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2033, and state operating loss carryforwards begin to expire in 2027. U.S. federal net operating losses of approximately $341,300 carry forward indefinitely.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s federal research and development credit carryforwards for income tax purposes were approximately $1,200. If not used, the current carryforwards will expire beginning in 2034.
The Company has completed a review to determine whether the future utilization of net operating loss and credit carryforwards will be restricted due to ownership changes that have occurred. The study determined that there will be no limit after December 31, 2025. Due to the net operating loss carryovers, the statute of limitations remains open for federal and state returns. |
