The Company's provision for income taxes differs from applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate to income before income taxes. The primary differences result from recognition of net operating loss carry forwards and from deducting goodwill impairment/amortization expense for financial statement purposes but not for federal income tax purposes.
Those amounts have been presented in the Company's financial statements as follows:

The valuation allowance was established to reduce the net deferred tax asset to the amount that will more likely than not be realized. This reduction is necessary due to uncertainty of the Company's ability to utilize the net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards before they expire.
The Company has available net operating loss carry forwards which may be used to reduce Federal and State taxable income and tax liabilities in future years as follows:
