Wuxi KJF and Jintan Club had deferred tax assets of $1,474,914 and $1,367,454 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively that consist of tax loss carry forwards. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those net operating losses are available. The Company considers projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making its assessment. At present, Wuxi KJF and Jintan Club do not have a sufficient operation profit to conclude that it is more-likely-than-not that Wuxi KJF and Jintan Club will be able to realize all of its tax benefits in the near future and therefore a valuation allowance was established for the full value of the deferred tax asset.
 
Wuxi Club and Nanjing Club
 
Wuxi Club and Nanjing Club are not subject to EIT as they are limited liability partnerships, however each individual partner is subject to the individual income tax ("IIT") on his/her distributive share of taxable income in accordance with the relevant PRC income tax laws. The IIT is calculated by taxable income multiplying with applicable tax rate, and then minus deducting amount. Each enterprise partner is subject to EIT at its applicable EIT rate on its distributive share of taxable income from the partnership. Wuxi KJF, as Wuxi Club and Nanjing Club’s enterprise partner, is subject its distributive share in Wuxi Club and Nanjing Club’s taxable income to EIT at 25% tax rate. Wuxi KJF could also carry forward its distributive share in Wuxi Club and Nanjing Club’s deductible loss for 5 years to offset any future distributive taxable income from the respective club. But the distributive deductible loss from the 2 partnerships (Wuxi Club and Nanjing Club) could not be used to offset Wuxi KJF’s other operating income. Wuxi Club and Nanjing Club both incurred net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, and the amount was included in Wuxi KJF’s reconciliation and deferred tax assets determination.
 
The Company did not identify significant unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. They did not incur any interest and penalties related to potential underpaid income tax expenses and also believed that the adoption of pronouncement issued by FASB regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes did not have a significant impact on the unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months from March 31, 2015.
