The Company has a capital loss carryover of $418,157, a portion of which it expects to utilize to offset its other income in the amount of $27,548, in connection with the filing of its income tax returns for the year ended December 31, 2012. The remaining capital loss carryover expires through 2015.

 

The income tax expense (benefit) differs from the amount computed using the federal statutory rate of 34% as a result of the following:

 

Year Ended December 31,   2012     2011  
Federal Statutory Rate     34 %     34 %
State and local income tax expense (benefit), net of federal tax effect     9 %     14 %
Valuation allowance            
State and local franchise taxes            
Other     1 %     (5 )%
Income tax expense (benefit)     44 %     43 %

 

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authorities. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold are recorded as tax benefits or expenses in the current year. Management has analyzed the Company’s tax positions taken on Federal, state and local tax returns for all open tax years, and has concluded that no provision for Federal income tax is required in the Company’s financial statements. The Company reports interest and penalties as income tax expense, which amounted to approximately $7,400 and $12,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal and state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2009, as these tax years are closed.
