ASC 740-10 requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based upon the difference between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using the enacted marginal tax rate applicable when the related asset or liability is expected to be realized or settled. Deferred income tax expenses or benefits are based on the changes in the asset or liability each period. If available evidence suggests that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is required to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Future changes in such valuation allowance are included in the provision for deferred income taxes in the period of change.</p> </td> </tr> </table> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-color: black; font-size: 10pt; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: times new roman,times,serif;" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td> <p align="justify" style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: inherit;">Deferred income taxes may arise from temporary differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. Deferred taxes are classified as current or non-current, depending on the classification of assets and liabilities to which they relate. Deferred taxes arising from temporary differences that are not related to an asset or liability are classified as current or non-current depending on the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td> <p align="justify" style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: inherit;">The Company’s effective income tax rate is higher than would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income before tax, primarily because of expenses deductible for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes. The Company’s operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and the six months ended June 30, 2013 resulted in losses. Accordingly, no provisions for current income taxes have been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="5%"> </td> <td> <p align="justify" style="font-family: times new roman,times,serif; font-size: 10pt; margin: inherit;"> As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, the Company has total net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,500,000 which may or may not be used to reduce future income taxes payable. Current federal tax law limits the amount of loss available to offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount of these losses available to offset future taxable income may be limited. A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the net benefit recorded in the financial statements related to this deferred asset to $0. The valuation allowance is deemed necessary as a result of the uncertainty associated with the ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets. Accordingly, no provisions for deferred income taxes have been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations. </p> </td> </tr> </table>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for income taxes.
