As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had available for income tax purposes approximately $27 million and $21 million respectively in federal net operating loss carry forwards, which may be available to offset future taxable income. These loss carry forwards expire in 2021 through 2034. The Company may be limited by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 in its ability to fully utilize its net operating loss carry forwards due to possible future ownership changes. A 100% valuation allowance has been effectively established against the net deferred tax asset since it appears more likely than not that it will not be realized.
The provision (benefit) for income taxes attributable to income (loss) from continuing operations does not differ materially from the amount computed at the federal income tax statutory rate.
