Note 3 - Income Taxes
 
We had an income tax benefit of $393 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019,  due to a release of a state reserve as the statute of limitation for the tax return expired during the year.  We had an income tax expense of ($5) for the same period in 2018.We had income tax expense of $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.  During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we had net operating losses (“NOLs”) which generated deferred tax assets for NOL carryforwards. We provided valuation allowances against the net deferred tax assets including the deferred tax assets for NOL carryforwards.

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 not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2019 will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, management has maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2019. The valuation allowance carried against our net deferred tax assets was approximately $37,000 at September 30, 2019 and $36,000 at December 31, 2018.

As of September 30, 2019, we have federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $127,000 and $108,000, respectively, expiring beginning in 2027 and 2028, respectively.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.
