As of December 31, 2024, the Company had Canadian non-capital loss carryforwards of approximately $25,277,000, which have a twenty year carryforward and begin expiring in 2025 and Hong Kong tax losses carryforwards or approximately $58,126,000 which have no expiry.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA requires adjustments to existing deferred tax assets and liabilities based on new tax rates and provisions. The effects of the OBBBA will be recognized in the Company’s third quarter 2025 financial statements.  Since the Company has substantial net operating loss carryforwards and has a full valuation allowance for its domestic deferred tax assets, the Company does not believe there will be a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
