Note 11 – Income taxes

 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in states and foreign jurisdictions. For the major taxing jurisdictions, the tax years 2006 through 2013 remain open for state and federal examination.  The Company believes assessments, if any, would be immaterial to its consolidated financial statements.  With respect to the foreign jurisdiction, the Company is no longer subject to income tax audits for the year 2012 (inclusive).

As of December 31, 2013, there was gross U.S. federal net operating loss carried forwards of approximately $670,000, which may be available to offset future federal income tax liabilities. Because it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize its deferred tax assets, it has recorded a full valuation allowance against these assets.  Accordingly, no deferred tax asset has been recorded in the accompanying balance sheet. All of the gross federal net operating losses are limited by certain provisions of the U.S. tax code which restricts their utilization in the future.

 

The federal net operating losses expire at various dates through 2027 to 2033.
