NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Description of Business
Mitesco, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was formed in the state of Delaware on January 18, 2012. On December 9, 2015, we restructured our operations and acquired Newco4pharmacy, LLC, a development stage company which sought to acquire compounding pharmacy businesses. As a part of the restructuring, we completed a “spin out” of our former business line. On April 24, 2020, we changed our name to Mitesco, Inc. In October 2023, the Company completed a move of its corporate status to Nevada from Delaware in order to effect reduced costs.
From 2020 through 2022, our operations were focused on establishing medical clinics utilizing Nurse Practitioners under The Good Clinic name and development and acquisition of telemedicine technology. We opened our first The Good Clinic in Minneapolis, Minnesota in the first quarter of 2021 and had six operating clinics during the year ended December 31, 2022, with two additional sites under contract. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we made the strategic decision to close the entire clinic operation and release our staff due to a lack of profitability.
We are a holding company seeking to provide products, services and technology. We have a number of near-term opportunities that we hope to pursue, assuming the capital markets make sufficient funding available at reasonable rates. During the first quarter of 2024 we recruited a number of individuals to a newly formed Advisory Board, who might assist the Company in determining the viability of certain ventures going forward. These individuals have a background in data center services, cyber and data security and software applications related to infrastructure design, implementation and management including geographical information systems (GIS).
In June 2024 we announced the formation of two (2) new wholly owned business units, Centcore, LLC, who is providing data center services including cloud computing and application hosting, and Vero Technology Ventures, LLC, whose aim is to seek investment and acquisition opportunities, generally in the areas of cloud computing and data center related applications.
Centcore has two (2) areas of focus. The first, generic data center services, is aimed at hosting applications for a specific user, sometimes referred to as “managed services offerings” or MSO, where the client moves the software licensed from various vendors, or internally developed, into our data center where we maintain the computing, communications and backup environment. The second focus involves hosting application software developed by software vendors, from which they will sell the use of the software by their end user clients on a “cloud” basis. By taking this approach, we hope to gain the business of the vendor, and their clients, perhaps allowing us to grow at a faster rate with lower cost of sales. We have developed the “Centcore Partner Program” where we will help promote the software vendors who are hosting in our data centers. If we are successful helping the vendor grow his business, we will have provided a “value added service”, and benefit from increased utilization of our computing resources by not only the vendor, but also his new end user clients. Our initial focus for this area is on software providers who serve the “infrastructure” market doing design, engineering, construction and maintenance of significant assets. We desire to create “life cycle” relationships with both the design teams, and owners which may include private owners such as manufacturers and utilities, or publicly owned assets for municipalities, states or federal governments, domestically and internationally.
We have retained proven professionals in the data center, cyber security and infrastructure services areas to support our needs on a per hour basis, which we believe will allow us to control our costs relative to business activity, without significant staffing internally.
Note 2: Going Concern
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3,000, current liabilities of approximately $18.4 million, and has incurred significant losses from the previous clinic operations. As previously noted, we made a strategic decision to reduce our capital needs by closing our entire clinic operations in the fourth quarter of 2022 and releasing our entire staff, due to lack of profitability. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional funding to execute its business plan.
As a result of these factors, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the financial statements are issued. The Company’s continuance is dependent on raising capital and generating revenues sufficient to sustain operations. However, as of the date of these consolidated financial statements, no formal agreement exists.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts classified as liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be forced to take any such actions.
The COVID-19 pandemic, decades-high inflation and concerns about an economic recession in the United States or other major markets has resulted in, among other things, volatility in the capital markets that may have the effect of reducing the Company’s ability to access capital, which could in the future negatively affect the Company’s liquidity. In addition, a recession or market correction due to these factors could materially affect the Company’s business and the value of its common stock.
Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation – The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation– The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Mitesco, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiaries Mitesco NA, LLC, The Good Clinic, LLC, Vero Technology Ventures, LLC, and Centcore, LLC. In addition, we relied on the operating activities of certain legal entities in which we did not maintain a controlling ownership interest, but over which we had indirect influence and of which we were considered the primary beneficiary. These entities are typically subject to nominee ownership and transfer restriction agreements that effectively transfer the majority of the economic risks and rewards of their ownership to the Company. The Company’s management, restrictions and other agreements concerning such nominee-owned entities typically include both financial terms and protective and participating rights to the entities’ operating, strategic and non-clinical governance decisions which transfer substantial powers over and economic responsibility for these entities to the Company. As such, the Company applies the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810 – Consolidation (“ASC 810”), to determine when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or not controlled through its voting interests, referred to as a variable interest entity should be consolidated. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment.
Cash - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
*Property and Equipment -*Property and equipment is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net recoverable amount and is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Property acquired in a business combination is recorded at estimated initial fair value. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the lesser of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the lease term based upon the following life expectancy:
| Years | |
| Office equipment | 3 to 5 |
|---|---|
| Furniture & fixtures | 3 to 7 |
| Machinery & equipment | 3 to 10 |
| Leasehold improvements | Term of lease |
Revenue Recognition– The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when it has satisfied the performance obligations under an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of any related receivable is probable. ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
Our revenues generally relate to data center services. Revenues are recorded during the period our obligations to provide services are satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation for its revenue stream is to provide the access to its data centers to the customer, and revenues associated with completed sales are recognized at a point in time when they are provided to the customer. There is no significant financing component to the Company’s sales.
Stock-Based Compensation*-***We recognize the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share-based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
Equity instruments issued to those other than employees are recognized pursuant to FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU relates to the accounting for non-employee share-based payments. The amendment in this update expands the scope of Topic 718 to include all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquired goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The ASU excludes share-based payment awards that relate to: (1) financing to the issuer; or (2) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts from Customers. The share-based payments are to be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instruments that the entity is obligated to issue when the goods or service has been delivered or rendered and all other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the equity instruments have been satisfied.
Convertible Instruments- The Company reviews the terms of convertible debt and equity instruments to determine whether there are conversion features or embedded derivative instruments including embedded conversion options that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative financial instrument. In circumstances where the convertible instrument contains more than one embedded derivative instrument, including conversion options that are required to be bifurcated, the bifurcated derivative instruments are accounted for as a single compound instrument. Also, in connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may issue free standing warrants that may, depending on their terms, be accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, rather than as equity. When convertible debt or equity instruments contain embedded derivative instruments that are to be bifurcated and accounted for separately, the total proceeds allocated to the convertible host instruments are first allocated to the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instruments themselves, usually resulting in those instruments being recorded at a discount from their face amount. When the Company issues debt securities, which bear interest at rates that are lower than market rates, the Company recognizes a discount, which is offset against the carrying value of the debt. Such a discount from the face value of the debt, together with the stated interest on the instrument, is amortized over the life of the instrument through periodic charges to income. In addition, certain conversion features are recognized as beneficial conversion features to the extent the conversion price as defined in the convertible note is less than the closing stock price on the issuance of the convertible notes.
Derivative Financial Instruments- Derivatives are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The conversion features of the convertible notes are embedded derivatives and are separately valued and accounted for on the consolidated balance sheet with changes in fair value recognized during the period of change as a separate component of other income/expense. Fair values for exchange-traded securities and derivatives are based on quoted market prices. The pricing model the Company uses for determining the fair value of its derivatives is the Monte Carlo Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities.
*Common Stock Purchase Warrants -*The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with the FASB ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each warrant’s fair-value as calculated by the BSM option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.
Per Share Data - Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive) related to warrants, options, and convertible instruments. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023 the effect of 1,252 shares issuable upon conversions of the Series D preferred shares,11,969,780 shares issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes, and 54,434 shares issuable upon exercise of the outstanding warrant and common stock options were anti-dilutive and not included in the computation of dilutive earnings per share.
Income Taxes - The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax laws or rates.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has determined that a valuation allowance is needed due to recent taxable net operating losses and the limited taxable income in the carryback periods. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and certain tax loss carryforwards, less any valuation allowance.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions as required in that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return is recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50%) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company does not have any material unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of interest expense and other expense, respectively, in arrival at pretax income or loss. The Company does not have any interest and penalties accrued. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations for the years before 2012.
Long-lived Assets
The Company amortizes acquired definite-lived intangible assets over their estimated useful lives. Other indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but subject to annual impairment tests. In accordance with ASC 360 “Property Plant and Equipment,” the Company reviews the carrying value of intangibles subject to amortization and long-lived assets for impairment throughout the year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
*Impairment of Long-Lived Assets -*Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the consolidated balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposal group classified as held-for-sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the consolidated balance sheet, if material.
*Financial Instruments and Fair Values -*The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument. In determining fair value, we use various valuation methodologies and prioritize the use of observable inputs. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market:
Level 1 – inputs include exchange quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.
Level 2 – inputs include brokered and/or quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates.
Level 3 – inputs include data not observable in the market and reflect management judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The use of observable and unobservable inputs and their significance in measuring fair value are reflected in our hierarchy assessment. The carrying amount of cash, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Because cash and cash equivalents are readily liquidated, management classifies these values as Level 1. The fair value of the derivative liabilities approximates their book value as the instruments are short-term in nature and contain market rates of interest. Because there is no ready market or observable transactions, management classifies the derivative liabilities as Level 3.
Segments
The Company manages its operations as a single segment for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the performance of the Company at the consolidated level using information about its revenues, gross profit, and income from operations. All significant operating decisions are based upon an analysis of the Company as one operating segment, which is the same as its reporting segment.
Recent Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740):*Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,*which expands the disclosures required for income taxes. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendment should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this pronouncement on its disclosures.
There are various other updates recently issued, most of which represent technical corrections to the accounting literature or application to specific industries and are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 4: Discontinued Operations
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, we made the strategic decision to close the entire clinic operation and release our staff due to a lack of profitability. On December 8, 2023, the Company sold the remaining assets of The Good Clinic, LLC to Leading Primary Care LLC, a company organized by Michael C. Howe, the former CEO of The Good Clinic, LLC for total consideration of approximately $2.5 million. ASC 360-10-45-9 requires that a long-lived asset (disposal group) to be sold shall be classified as held for sale in the period in which a set of criteria have been met, including criteria that the sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. This criterion was achieved on December 8, 2023. Additionally, the discontinued operations are comprised of the entirety of The Good Clinic, LLC. For comparability purposes certain prior period line items relating to the assets held for sale have been reclassified and presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of net loss and comprehensive loss and the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company had no assets or liabilities classified that were classified as part of discontinued operations as of December 31, 2024, or 2023.

Note 5: Business Acquisition
On December 6, 2024, the Company entered into an Exclusive Source Code License agreement (the “License Agreement”) between AgingTopic, LLC (“AgingTopic”) and the Company where the Company has acquired, subject to certain payment milestones, the source code and business activities of AgingTopic, which constitutes substantially all of AgingTopic’s assets utilized in the creation of advertising revenue from blog postings. The entity that owns the business and source code is controlled by Ms. Amy Lance, the wife of Mack Leath. The agreement calls for a $5,000 cash payment upon execution, and certain royalty payments up to a maximum of $150,000, at which time it becomes a fully paid-up license. The royalty payments are to be repaid at 30% of net collection up to the first $50,000 has been repaid, after which the remaining $100,000 will be repaid based on 15% of net collections. After the payment of the $150,000 license fee, the Company will then pay a commission of 2.5% of net collections until 36 months after the date of the agreement.
This acquisition closed on December 6, 2024. The acquisition of AgingTopic is being accounted for as a business combination under ASC 805. The Company is continuing to gather evidence to evaluate what identifiable intangible assets were acquired, such as a customer list, and the fair value of each, and expects to finalize the fair value of the acquired assets withinone year of the acquisition date. The Company assigned the preliminary fair value of the consideration paid of $155,000 to domain name intangible assets that are amortized over an estimated useful life offour years. AgingTopic had not yet generated revenues prior to the time of acquisition.

Note 9: SBA Loan Payable
PPP Loan Conversion to SBA Loan
During March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the federal government announced plans to offer loans to small businesses in various forms, including the Payroll Protection Program, or “PPP”, established as part of the Corona Virus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). On April 25, 2020, the Company entered an unsecured Promissory Note with Bank of America for a loan in the original principal amount of $460,400, and the Company received the full amount of the loan proceeds on May 4, 2020 (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan bears interest at the rate of 1% per year.
On July 12, 2023, the Company received confirmation of a payment plan arrangement from the SBA. Pursuant to this payment plan, the Company agreed to pay a minimum of $2,595 each month until the loan is paid in full in July 2028. The SBA confirmed the balance due on the loan, including principal and interest, was $467,117. The Company will amortize the balance due on the loan including interest at the original PPP loan rate of 1% per annum; a gain on restructuring of debt in the amount of $40,622 was recorded on this transaction during the year ended December 31, 2023, and the balance of the loan was recorded at the amount of $433,343 representing the net cash flows discounted at 1%. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company made principal payments of $28,027 and $11,555 on this loan and recorded interest in the amount of $4,128 and $5,719, respectively. The balance as of December 31, 2024, was $393,761.

Kishon Note
On May 10, 2022, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Kishon Agreement”) with Kishon Investments, LLC (“Kishon”) with respect to the sale and issuance to Kishon of: (i) an initial commitment fee in the amount of $159,259 in the form of 12,741 shares (the “Kishon Commitment Fee Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock, (ii) a promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $277,777 (the “Kishon Note”), and (iii) Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 5,556 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Kishon Warrants”). Should Kishon receive net proceeds of less than $159,259 from the sale of the Kishon Commitment Fee Shares, the Company will issue additional shares to Kishon or pay the shortfall amount to Kishon in cash. The terms of the Kishon Agreement resulted in the Company recording a derivative liability in the initial amount of $27,793.
The Kishon Note was issued in the principal amount of $277,777 for a purchase price of $250,000 resulting in an original issue discount of $27,777. The Kishon Note has a due date of November 10, 2022, and bears interest at the rate of 10% per year for the first six months and 12% thereafter.

Note 12: Derivative Liabilities
Certain of the Company’s convertible notes and warrants contain features that create derivative liabilities. The pricing model the Company uses for determining fair value of its derivatives is the Monte Carlo Model. Valuations derived from this model are subject to ongoing internal and external verification and review. The model uses market-sourced inputs such as interest rates and stock price volatilities. Selection of these inputs involves management’s judgment and may impact net income. The derivative components of these notes are valued at issuance, at conversion, at restructuring, and at each period end.
Derivative liability activity for the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, is summarized in the table below:
| December 31, 2022 | $568,912 |
|---|---|
| True-up features issued | - |
| Settled upon conversion or exercise | (501,740) |
| Loss on revaluation | 85,773 |
| December 31, 2023 | $152,945 |
| True-up features settled | (152,945) |
| Establishment upon default provisions | 100,551 |
| Loss on revaluation | 4,585,124 |
| December 31, 2024 | $4,685,675 |
The Company uses a Monte Carlo model to value the true-up obligation features of its notes payable that create derivative liabilities. The following tables summarize the assumptions for the valuations:
| December 31, · December 31, | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 · 2023 | ||||
| Volatility | - | 475.7% | ||
| Stock Price | $ | - | $0.0250 | |
| Risk-free interest rates | - | % | 5.21% | |
| Term (years) | - | 0.39 | ||
During the year ended December 31, 2023, certain of our notes payable contain a commitment fee obligation with a true-up feature. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the true-up period expired and all remaining amounts were reclassified to equity. The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability associated with this obligation using a valuation based on the intrinsic conversion value:
| ● | The stock price would fluctuate with the Company projected volatility. |
| ● | The projected volatility curve from an annualized analysis for each valuation date was based on the historical volatility of the Company and the term remaining for the True-Up obligation. |
| ● | The Company expected the note would be repaid 90% of the time by the maturity date, at which point the Company would redeem the 1,000,000 redeemable commitment fee shares for $1. |
| ● | In the event the Company did not repay the note in time, the shareholders would sell their shares subject to volume restrictions. |
| ● | Discount rates were based on risk-free rates in effect based on the remaining term. 50,000 simulations were run for each Monte Carlo simulation. |
Certain of our notes payable contain a provisions that in the event of default the note will become convertible at a price per share equal to the lowest trading price during the previous twenty trading days prior to the conversion date. The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability associated with this obligation:
| ● | The stock price on the date of valuation represents the fair market value of the stock |
| ● | The notes convert with variable conversion prices based on the percentages of the lowest trades over the prior 20 trading days |
| ● | The holder would automatically convert the note immediately (based on ownership or trading volume limitations) if the registration were effective and the Company was not in default |
Note 13: Series A preferred stock

Note 16: Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes result from the temporary differences primarily attributable to amortization of intangible assets and debt discount and an accumulation of net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes with a valuation allowance against the carryforwards for book purposes.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Included in deferred tax assets are Federal and State net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $60.7 million and $13.6 million, respectively, which will expire through 2040. 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. Due to significant changes in the Company’s ownership, the Company’s future use of its existing net operating losses may be limited.
For the years ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, the expected tax expense (benefit) based on the U. S. federal statutory rate is reconciled with the actual tax provision (benefit) as follows:
| For the Years Ended December 31, | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws and regulations.
Deferred income taxes include the net tax effects of net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards and the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:
