At February 28, 2017, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $4.6 Million that may be offset against future taxable income through 2036. No tax benefit has been reported with respect to these net operating loss carry-forwards because the Company believes that the realization of the Companys net deferred tax assets of approximately $1.6 Million was not considered more than likely than not and accordingly, the potential tax benefits for the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a 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 the probability of its realization.
Components of deferred tax assets in the consolidated balance sheet are as follows:
