Income Tax Provision
     
No
income tax expense or (benefit) has been reflected for the years ended
December 31,
201
7
and
2016
due to the lack of taxable net income generated by the Company and the
100%
valuation allowance pertaining to the deferred tax asset. The difference between the reported amount of income tax expense and the amount expected based upon statutory rates is primarily due to the increase in the valuation allowance on deferred taxes.
 
The net operating loss carryforwards for the Company are
$11
,886,891
 and
$5,050,176
as of
December 31, 2017
and
2016,
respectively. The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities due to book and tax differences are the following: fixed asset depreciation, net operating loss carryforward, net unrealized losses on investment securities, policy owner benefit reserves and deferred acquisition costs. The net deferred tax asset is offset
100
percent by the valuation allowance.
