Deferred Tax Assets
At August 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes of $635,785 that may be offset against future taxable income through 2036. No tax benefit has been recorded with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards in the accompanying financial statements as the management of the Company believes that the realization of the Companys net deferred tax assets of approximately $216,200 was not considered more likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by the full valuation allowance.
Deferred tax assets consist primarily of the tax effect of NOL carry-forwards. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets because of the uncertainty regarding its realization. The valuation allowance decreased by $31,281 and $100,516 for the years ended August 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
