NOTE 8 – INCOME TAXES

 

At December 31, 2011, we had available federal and state net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future taxable income. The amounts available were approximately $1,900,000 for federal purposes. The federal carryforward expires in 2030. Given our history of net operating losses, management has determined that it is more likely than not we will not be able to realize the tax benefit of the carryforwards. Accordingly, our company has not recognized a deferred tax asset for this benefit.

 

Accounting guidance requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to restrictions imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 regarding substantial changes in ownership of companies with loss carry-forwards, the utilization of our net operating loss carry-forwards will likely be limited as a result of cumulative changes in stock ownership. We have not recognized a deferred tax asset and, as a result, the change in stock ownership has not resulted in any changes to valuation allowances.

 

Upon the attainment of taxable income by our company, management will assess the likelihood of realizing the tax benefit associated with the use of the carryforwards and will recognize a deferred tax asset at that time.

 

Significant components of our deferred income tax assets are as follows as of:

 

   December 31,
2011
  December 31,
2010
Deferred income tax asset:
