NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740-10, which requires use of the liability method. FASB ASC 740-10-25 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as temporary differences.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company incurred a net operating loss and, accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. In addition, no benefit for income taxes has been recorded due to the uncertainty of the realization of any tax assets. The Company had approximately $9,308,403, $9,140,298  and $8,960,118 of federal net operating losses at December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will begin to expire in 2029.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

Based on the available objective evidence, including the Company’s history of its loss, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company provided for a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no uncertain tax positions.
