NOTE 9. INCOME TAX

The Company’s net deferred tax assets are as follows:

The income tax provision (benefit) consists of the following:

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had U.S. federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”) of $512,131 available to offset future taxable income. These NOLs expire beginning in 2034. In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, deductibility of the Company’s NOLs may be subject to an annual limitation in the event of a change in control as defined under the regulations.

In assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. After consideration of all of the information available, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore established a full valuation allowance. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the change in the valuation allowance was $89,129.

A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate at December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction in various state and local jurisdictions and is subject to examination by the various taxing authorities. The Company considers New York to be a significant state tax jurisdiction.
