At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had available a net-operating loss carry-forward for Federal tax purposes of approximately $1,075,600 and $666,200, respectively, which may be applied against future taxable income, if any, at various times through 2036. Certain significant changes in ownership of the Company may restrict the future utilization of these tax loss carry-forwards. At December 31, 2016, the Company has a deferred tax asset of $373,300 representing the benefit of its net operating loss carry-forward. The Company has not recognized the tax benefit because realization of the tax benefit is uncertain and thus a valuation allowance has been fully provided against the deferred tax asset.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expenses.  No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at December 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

The tax years 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates.  The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.
