The Company has experienced losses since its inception. As a result, it has incurred no Federal income tax. The Internal Revenue Code allows net operating losses (NOL's) to carry forward and apply against future profits for a period of twenty years. The available NOL's totaled approximately $2 million at December 31, 2016. The NOL can be carried forward to offset taxable income, if any, in future years which expire in the years 2020 through 2036.

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the assessment, management has established a full valuation allowance against all of the deferred tax asset relating to NOLs for every period because it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The tax return for the years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service.
