NOTE 13 – Income Taxes
The reconciliation of income tax benefit at the U.S. statutory rate of 34% to the Company’s effective rate for the periods presented is as follows:
| 2017 | 2016 | |||||||
| U.S federal statutory rate | (34%) | (34%) | ||||||
| State income tax, net of federal benefit | (0.0%) | (0.0%) | ||||||
| Increase in valuation allowance | 34% | 34% | ||||||
| Income tax provision (benefit) | 0.0% | 0.0% | ||||||
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the Company’s net deferred tax liability as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 consisted of the following:
| 2017 | 2016 | |||||||
| Deferred Tax Assets | ||||||||
| Net Operating Losses | $ | 4,482,000 | $ | 2,227,000 | ||||
| Less: Valuation Allowance | $ | (4,482,000) | $ | (2,227,000) | ||||
| Deferred Tax Assets – Net | — | — | ||||||
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $13,184,000 of federal and state net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”), which begin to expire in 2027. Utilization of the NOLs may be subject to limitation under the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 should there be a greater than 50% ownership change as determined under regulations.
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 the entire 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.
