At December 31, 2016, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward for Federal income tax purposes of $711,454 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2032. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards in the accompanying financial statements because the Company believes that the realization of the Companys net deferred tax assets of $213,035, calculated at an effective tax rate of 34%, was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are fully offset by a valuation allowance of $213,035.
