NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with standards of disclosure propounded by the FASB, and any related interpretations of those standards sanctioned by the FASB. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, as well as a consideration of net operating loss and credit carry forwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for the period in which the differences are expected to impact taxable income. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Due to the uncertainty as to the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards, a valuation allowance has been made to the extent of any tax benefit that net operating losses may generate.

The provision for income taxes consists primarily of state minimum franchise taxes and totaled $2,282 and $400 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. For Federal and California income tax purposes, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards that expire through 2030. The net operating loss as of December 31, 2016 was $3,895,338 and $2,845,460, respectively. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements because after evaluating our own potential tax uncertainties, the Company has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions that have a greater than 50% likelihood of reversal if the Company were to be audited.

The deferred tax asset and the valuation allowance consist of the following at December 31:

	2016			2015
Deferred tax asset	$	1,324,918		$	967,456
Valuation allowance		(1,324,918	)		(967,456	)
