As the Company has not earned significant revenues, it has provided a 100 percent valuation allowance on the net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. Management believes the Company has no uncertain tax position.

 

As the Company is delinquent in its historical tax filings it has accrued $90,000 in penalties which the Company estimates it will be assessed on filing of the delinquent returns. The accrued penalties have been recorded as an administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2016.
