Note 8. Income Taxes

There is no current or deferred tax expense for 2014 and 2013, due to the Company’s loss position. Realization of the future tax benefits related to the deferred tax assets is dependent on many factors, including the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the net operating loss carryforward period. Management has considered these factors in reaching its conclusion as to the valuation allowance for financial reporting purposes and has recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset. The income tax effect, utilizing a 34% income tax rate, of temporary differences comprising the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is a result of the following at December 31:

 

    2014     2013  
Deferred tax assets:            
Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 2,285,000     $ 2,027,000  
Other     337,000       86,000  
      2,622,000       2,113,000  
Valuation allowance     (2,622,000 )     (2,113,000 )
Net deferred tax assets   $ -     $ -  

    

The 2014 increase in the valuation allowance was $509,000 (2013: $155,000).

 

The Company has available net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $6,722,000 for tax purposes to offset future taxable income which expires commencing 2015 through to the year 2034. Pursuant to the Tax Reform Act of 1986, annual utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% is deemed to occur within any three-year period. The tax years 2011 through 2014 remain open to examination by federal agencies and other jurisdictions in which it operates.

 

A reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate (34%) and the effective rate of income tax expense for the years ended December 31 follows:

 

    2014   2013  
Statutory federal income tax rate     34 %     34 %
Valuation allowance     (34 %)     (34 %)
      0 %     0 %
