NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. and subsidiaries (“Comstock”, “CHCI” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and other applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such condensed financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and has included all necessary adjustments and disclosures. For further information and a discussion of our significant accounting policies, other than discussed below, refer to our audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Comstock Holding Companies, Inc., incorporated in 2004 as a Delaware corporation, is a multi-faceted asset management and services company primarily focused in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Statistical Area. In February 2021, the Company amended the entity names for several subsidiaries as part of operational efficiency enhancements initiated in the first quarter of 2021. The entity names were changed for the following Company subsidiaries: (a) CDS Asset Management, LC is now CHCI Asset Management, LC, (b) Comstock Commercial Management, LC is now CHCI Commercial Management, LC, (c) Comstock Residential Management, LC is now CHCI Residential Management, LC, and (d) CDS Capital Management, L.C. is now CHCI Capital Management, LC.
The Company operates through four primarily real estate focused subsidiaries – CHCI Asset Management, LC (“CAM”), CHCI Residential Management, LC, CHCI Commercial Management, LC, and Park X Management, LC. References in these Consolidated Financial Statements to “Comstock,” “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. together in each case with our subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.
The Company’s Class A common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “CHCI.”
Throughout this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, amounts are in thousands, except per share data, number of stock options, number of stock awards, or as otherwise noted.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020 was derived from the audited financial statements contained in the 2020 Form 10-K.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, comprehensive income equaled net income; therefore, a separate statement of comprehensive income is not included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation of combining 'accounts payable' and 'accrued liabilities' on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The reclassification had no effect on the previously reported totals of current liabilities.
Recent Developments
In April 2021, the Company received notification from the Small Business Administration ("SBA") that the Company's Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") Loan had been forgiven and the SBA lender had received payment in full (See Note 8 – Coronavirus Aid and Relief and Economic Security Act).
On June 16, 2021, the Company made the strategic decision to sell the operations of Comstock Environmental Services, LLC ("CES"), a subsidiary of Comstock, based on the continued growth of the asset management business as well as its future prospects. For all periods presented, the related operating results are presented as income (loss) from discontinued operations on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The assets and liabilities of CES are also designated as held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (See Note 3 - Discontinued Operations).

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Use of Estimates
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts for the reporting periods. We base these estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Material estimates are utilized in the valuation of deferred tax assets, analysis of goodwill impairment, valuation of equity-based compensation, and fair value of financial instruments (including the fair value of our equity method investments).
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740, Income Tax and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. ASU 2019-12 will be effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which modifies how companies recognize expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by an entity at each reporting date. Existing GAAP requires an “incurred loss” methodology whereby companies are prohibited from recording an expected loss until it is probable that the loss has been incurred. ASU 2016-13 requires companies to use a methodology that reflects current expected credit losses (“CECL”) and requires consideration of a broad range of reasonable and supportable information to record and report credit loss estimates, even when the CECL is remote. Companies will be required to record the allowance for credit losses and deduct that amount from the basis of the asset. The guidance is effective for the Company for financial statement periods beginning after December 15, 2022, although early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
We assessed other accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and deemed they were either not applicable to us or are not anticipated to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Other standards previously issued and adopted by the Company have been disclosed in previous filings.
2. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES
Investments carried at fair value
Based upon elections made at the date of investment, the Company reports the equity method investments in real estate ventures at fair value. For such investments, the Company increases or decreases the investment each reporting period by the change in the fair value and the Company reports the fair value adjustments in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the ‘Loss on equity method investments carried at fair value’ line item. Changes in fair value of the Company's investment in Investors X (defined below) are impacted by distributions as the fair value is based on finite cash flows from the wind-down of that entity.
Investors X
The Company has elected to account for the equity method investment in Comstock Investors X, L.C. (“Investors X”), a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) that owns the Company’s residual homebuilding operations at fair value. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model based on expected future cash flows for income and realization events of the underlying asset. Expected future cash flows includes contractually fixed revenues and expenses as well as estimates for future revenues and expenses where contracts do not currently exist. These estimates are based on prior experience as well as comparable, third party data.
7
TABLE OF CONTENTS
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s investment in Investors X is $ 2.5 million and $ 5.1 million, respectively. The Company received distributions of $ 895 thousand and $ 2.5 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and recognized a $ 107 thousand loss in fair value. Our maximum loss exposure in this entity is limited to our investments.
The Hartford
On December 30, 2019, the Company made an investment related to the purchase of a stabilized commercial office building located at 3101 Wilson Boulevard in the Clarendon area of Arlington County, Virginia (the “Hartford”). The Company owns a 2.5 % equity interest in the asset at a cost of approximately $ 1.2 million. The Company has elected to account for the equity method investment in the Hartford at fair value. Fair value is determined using an income approach and sales comparable approach models. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of the Company’s investment in the Hartford was $ 1.2 million. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized a loss of $ 24 thousand in fair value. The Company received no distributions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
Fair value of equity method investments are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had equity method investments in real estate ventures at fair value of $ 3.7 million and $ 6.3 million, respectively. The table below shows the change in the Company’s investments in real estate ventures reported at fair value:
Fair value of investments as of December 31, 2020 $ 6,307
Distributions ( 2,543 )
Change in fair value ( 112 )
Fair value of investments as of June 30, 2021 $ 3,652
See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions for additional discussion of our investments in real estate ventures at fair value.
Investments using equity method
The Company accounts for its interest in its title insurance joint venture using the equity method of accounting and adjusts the carrying value for its proportionate share of earnings, losses and distributions. The investment in the unconsolidated joint venture was $ 17 thousand and $ 29 thousand as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is included within ‘Prepaid and other assets, net’ in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company’s share of earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 from this unconsolidated joint venture of $ 30 thousand and $ 18 thousand, respectively, is included in ‘Other income (loss), net’ in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company’s share of earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $ 18 thousand and $ 15 thousand, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company collected distributions of $ 30 thousand from this joint venture as a return on investment. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company collected no distributions and $ 108 thousand from this joint venture as a return on investment.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On June 16, 2021, the Company made the strategic decision to pursue the sale of CES , the service offerings of which include consulting, environmental studies, remediation services, and site-specific solutions for projects that may have an environmental impact. The Company made this decision to focus on its core asset management operations based on the continued growth and future prospects of the asset management business. CES met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation in June 2021. T he sale of CES is expected to be completed within the next 12 months.

4. GOODWILL
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business acquisition. Following an acquisition, we perform an analysis to value the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities. As of the acquisition date, goodwill consisted primarily of synergies resulting from the
9
TABLE OF CONTENTS
combination, expected expanded opportunities for growth and production, and savings in corporate overhead costs. Due to the classification of CES as a discontinued operation during the second quarter of 2021, the Company measured CES at its fair value less costs to sell and recognized a $ 325 thousand charge as a loss on classification as held for sale in income from discontinued operations and an adjustment to goodwill.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of goodwill was $ 1.4 million and $ 1.7 million, respectively, and is classified as held for sale on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
5. LEASES
The determination of whether an arrangement contains a lease and the classification of a lease, if applicable, is made at lease commencement, at which time the Company also measures and recognizes an ROU asset, representing the Company’s right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing the Company’s obligation to make lease payments under the terms of the arrangement. For the purposes of recognizing
ROU assets and lease liabilities associated with the Company’s leases, the Company has elected the practical expedient to not recognize a ROU asset or lease liability for short-term leases, which are leases with a term of twelve months or less. The lease term is defined as the non-cancelable portion of the lease term plus any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The rates implicit within the Company's leases are generally not determinable; therefore, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used to determine the present value of lease payments. The determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate requires judgment. The Company looks to similar corporate credit ratings and bond yields when determining the incremental borrowing rate. As of November 1, 2020, at the lease commencement of the new ten year lease agreement for the new corporate office in Reston, VA, the Company's incremental borrowing rate was determined to be 4.25 %. The lease is with an affiliate controlled and owned by our Chief Executive Officer and family, as landlord. This lease is classified as an operating lease and has a remaining term of nine years . This lease requires us to make fixed annual rental payments plus pay our share of common area, real estate, and utility expenses.
The Company's leases can contain various renewal and termination options. The period which is subject to an option to extend the lease is included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised. The period which is subject to an option to terminate the lease is included if it is reasonably certain that the option will not be exercised. Lease costs related to the Company's operating leases are generally recognized as a single ratable lease cost over the lease term.
Lease costs related to the Company's operating leases are reflected within 'Direct costs' in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as it is a reimbursable cost under the 2019 Asset Management Agreement ("AMA"). The lease costs were as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,

6. REVENUE
The Company’s revenues consist primarily of
• Asset Management;
• Property Management;
• Capital Markets;
• Leasing; and
• Project & Development Services.
Asset Management
Asset Management primarily provides comprehensive real estate asset management services to the CDS Portfolio, representing a series of daily performance obligations delivered over time. Pricing includes a cost-plus management fee or a market-rate fee or a market-rate fee form of variable consideration. The Company earns whichever is higher. See Note 13 – Related Party Transactions.
The amount of revenue recognized is presented on a gross basis for any services provided by our employees, as we control them. This is evidenced by our obligation for their performance and our ability to direct and redirect their work, as well as negotiate the value of such services. In the instances where we do not control third-party services delivered to the client, we report revenues net of the third-party reimbursements. Consistent with the transfer of control for distinct, daily services to the customer, revenue is typically recognized at the end of each period for the fees associated with the services performed.
Property Management
Property Management provides on-site day-to-day management services for owners of office, retail, multifamily residential and various other types of properties, representing a series of daily performance obligations delivered over time. Pricing is generally in the form of a monthly management fee based upon property-level cash receipts, square footage under management or some other variable metric. Revenues from project management may also include reimbursement of payroll and related costs for personnel providing the services and subcontracted vendor costs. Project management services represent a series of distinct daily services rendered over time. Consistent with the transfer of control for distinct, daily services to the customer, revenue is typically recognized at the end of each period for the fees associated with the services performed.
The amount of revenue recognized is presented gross for any services provided by our employees, as we control them. This is evidenced by our obligation for their performance and our ability to direct and redirect their work, as well as negotiate the value of such services. In the instances where we do not control third-party services delivered to the client, we report revenues net of the third-party reimbursements.
Capital Markets
We offer clients commercial mortgage and structured financing services. We are compensated for our services via a fee paid upon successful commercial financing from third party lenders. The fee earned is contingent upon the funding of the loan, which represents the transfer of control for services to the customer. Therefore, we typically satisfy our performance obligation at the point in time of the funding of the loan, when there is a present right to payment.

Leasing
We provide strategic advice and execution for owners, investors, and occupiers of real estate in connection with the leasing of office, industrial and retail space. We are compensated for our services in the form of a commission. Our commission is paid upon signing of the lease by the tenant. We satisfy our performance obligation at a point in time; generally, at the time of the contractual event where there is a present right to payment.
Project & Development Services
We provide project and construction management services for owners and occupiers of real estate in connection with the management and leasing of office, industrial and retail space. The fees that we earn are typically variable based upon a percentage of project cost. We are compensated for our services in the form of management fees. Project and construction management services represent a series of performance obligations delivered over time and revenue is recognized over time.
Contract Costs
Expenses, primarily employee commissions, incurred on leasing and capital markets transactions represent substantially all of our incremental costs to obtain revenue contracts. Since the amortization period is one year or less we recognize these costs as an operating expense as they are incurred.

Revolving Capital Line of Credit
On March 19, 2020, the Company entered into a Revolving Capital Line of Credit Agreement (the “Loan Documents”) with CP Real Estate Services, LC (formerly known as Comstock Development Services, LC) (“CDS”), pursuant to which the Company secured a $ 10.0 million capital line of credit (the “Revolver”). Under the terms of the Loan Documents, the Revolver provides for an initial variable interest rate of the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.00 % per annum on advances made under the Revolver, payable monthly in arrears. The five-year term facility allows for interim draws that carry a maturity date of 12 months from the initial date of the disbursement unless a longer initial term is agreed to by CDS. On March 27, 2020, the Company borrowed $ 5.5 million under the Revolver. The $ 5.5 million borrowed has a maturity date of April 30, 2023. The effective interest rate at June 30, 2021 and December 30, 2020 was 4.25 %.
Comstock Growth Fund
On October 17, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note with Comstock Growth Fund, L.C. (“CGF”) whereby CGF made a loan to the Company in the initial principal amount of $ 10.0 million and a maximum amount available for borrowing of up to $ 20.0 million with a three year term. On December 18, 2014, the loan agreement was amended and restated to provide for a maximum capacity of $ 25 million. On May 23, 2018, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Exchange and Subscription Agreement (the “Membership Exchange Agreement”), together with a revised promissory note agreement, in which a note (“CGF Note”) with an outstanding principal and accrued interest balance of $ 7.7 million was exchanged for 1,482,300 shares of the Company’s Series C Non-Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share and a stated liquidation value of $ 5.00 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), issued by the Company to CDS. The Company exchanged the preferred equity for 91.5 % of CDS membership interest in the CGF promissory note. Concurrently, the face amount of the CGF promissory note was reduced to $ 5.7 million. The CGF Note was repaid prior to maturity during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Paycheck Protection Plan Loan
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) was established under the CARES Act and administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Companies who met the eligibility requirements set forth by the PPP could qualify for PPP loans provided by local lenders, which supports payroll, rent and utility expenses (“qualified expenses”). If the loan proceeds are fully utilized to pay qualified expenses over the covered period, as further defined by the PPP, the full principal amount of the PPP loan may qualify for loan forgiveness, subject to potential reduction based on the level of full-time employees maintained by the organization during the covered period as compared to a baseline period.
13
TABLE OF CONTENTS
In April 2020, the Company received proceeds of $ 1.95 million under the PPP (the "PPP Loan") provided by Mainstreet Bank (the “Lender”). Based on the term and conditions of the loan agreement, the term of the PPP loan is two years with an annual interest rate of 1% and principal and interest payments will be deferred for the first six-months of the loan term, which has been updated according to the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (“Flexibility Act”). The Company recognized PPP funding as a contra-expense during the three months ended June 30, 2020, when qualified expenses were incurred. The Lender received notice that the PPP Loan was fully forgiven by the SBA in April 2021.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
Currently, we are not subject to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we are named as a defendant in legal actions arising from our normal business activities. Although we cannot accurately predict the amount of our liability, if any, that could arise with respect to legal actions pending against us, we do not believe it is reasonably possible that such liability will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operating results and cash flows. We believe that we have obtained adequate insurance coverage, rights to indemnification, or where appropriate, have established appropriate reserves in connection with any such legal proceedings.
10. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES
The carrying amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of their fair values based on their short maturities. The fair value of fixed and floating rate debt is based on unobservable market rates (Level 3 inputs). The fair value of the fixed and floating rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis on the blended borrower rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms. Based on the analysis, the fair value of the fixed and floating rate debt approximated carrying value.
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Investments in Real Estate Ventures at Fair Value
We report our two investments in real estate ventures at fair value. For such investments, we increase or decrease our investment each reporting period by the change in the fair value and we report these fair value adjustments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
For our investments in real estate ventures at fair value, we estimate the fair value using the level 3 Income Approach or a sales comparable approach to determine a fair value. Critical inputs to fair value estimates include various level 3 inputs such as valuations of the underlying real estate assets and borrowings, which incorporate investment-specific assumptions such as discount rates, capitalization rates, rental and expense growth rates, and asset-specific market borrowing rates. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investments in the real estate ventures at fair value were approximately $ 3.7 million and $ 6.3 million, respectively.
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company may also value its non-financial assets and liabilities, including items such as long-lived assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis if it is determined that impairment has occurred. Such fair value measurements use significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 3.
Due to the classification of CES as a discontinued operation, the Company performed an interim test of goodwill to determine if the carrying amount exceeds its fair value less costs to sell. The fair value of CES was determined using both the market and income based methods. The market approach estimates value based on what other purchasers and sellers in the market have agreed to as a price for comparable businesses. The Company used a range of EBITDA multiples as significant inputs in the valuation. The income approach utilizes assumptions such as discount rates, future cash flow, and revenue growth rates. All of the inputs used are significant unobservable inputs classified as Level 3. The Company then weighted the values determined using the market and income based approaches to determine the overall fair value of CES. The carrying value of $ 1.7 million exceeded the fair value less costs to sell of $ 1.4 million resulting in a loss on classification as held for sale of $ 325 thousand (See Note 3 - Discontinued Operations).

11. RESTRICTED STOCK, STOCK OPTIONS AND OTHER STOCK PLANS
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company issued no stock options and 165,809 restricted stock awards to employees. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued no stock options and 630,352 restricted stock awards to employees.
Stock-based compensation expense associated with restricted stock and stock options is recognized based on the grant date fair value of the award over its vesting period.

Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
General and administrative $ 154 $ 182 $ 306 $ 373
Under net settlement procedures currently applicable to our outstanding restricted stock awards for employees, upon each settlement date and election by the employees, restricted stock awards are withheld to cover the required withholding tax, which is based on the value of the restricted stock award on the settlement date as determined by the closing price of our Class A common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the applicable settlement date. The remaining amounts are delivered to the recipient as shares of our Class A common stock.
As of June 30, 2021, the weighted-average remaining contractual term of unexercised stock options was 6 years. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there was $ 1.2 million and $ 1.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and restricted stock awards.
The Company intends to issue new shares of its Class A common stock upon vesting of restricted stock grants or the exercise of stock options.

14. INCOME TAXES
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized deferred income tax benefit of $ 11.3 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized deferred income tax expense of $ 1 thousand and $ 13 thousand, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is ( 8191.72 )% and ( 0.85 )%, respectively. The effective tax rate decreased as a result of a partial release of the valuation allowance as further discussed below.
A reconciliation of the statutory rate and the effective tax rate follows:
Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2020
Federal statutory rate 21.00 % 21.00 %
State income taxes - net of federal benefit 4.93 % 4.74 %
Permanent differences ( 60.56 %) 0.16 %
Return to provision adjustments — % ( 2.45 %)
Change in valuation allowance ( 8154.87 %) ( 18.43 %)
Other, net ( 2.22 ) % ( 5.87 ) %
Effective tax rate ( 8191.72 ) % ( 0.85 ) %
The Company previously recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to zero. Based upon the available evidence on June 30, 2021, the Company determined it was more likely than not that a portion of deferred tax assets related to the NOL carryforwards would be utilized in future periods. The Company considered all available evidence, including cumulative income in recent years and its current forecast of future income in its analysis. The Company concluded that sufficient positive evidence exists due to the cumulative positive results achieved since the Company's revised business strategy launched in 2018 and associated long-term related party contract (2019 AMA), which establishes a reasonable expectation of future taxable income . As a result, the Company partially released the valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets and recorded a deferred income tax benefit of $ 11.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. While the Company believes its forecast of future income is reasonable, it is inherently uncertain. If the Company’s projections of future income are lower than expected, the Company may need to reestablish the valuation allowance.
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. Components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and are as follows:
