Previous wording
A deferred tax asset is recognized for tax-deductible temporary differences and operating losses using the applicable enacted tax rate. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers the likelihood of whether it is more likely than not the net deferred tax asset will be realized. Based on this evaluation, management will provide a valuation allowance if it is determined more likely than not the associated asset will not be recognized. Based on this, management has determined that Greystone will be able to realize the full effect of the deferred tax assets as of February 28, 2025, and, accordingly, no valuation allowance was recorded. As of May 31, 2024, management determined that Greystone would not be able to realize the full effect of deferred taxes and a valuation allowance of $793,337 was recorded. The primary reason for no valuation allowance as of February 28, 2025, was the expiration of outstanding net operating losses during the current fiscal year ending May 31, 2025.
