Based on management's present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred income tax asset of $1,246,326 attributable to the future utilization of the $3,550,353 net operating loss carryforward as of March 31, 2017 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has maintained a 100% allowance against the deferred income tax asset in the consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2017. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate. The net operating loss carryforward expires in years 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, 2031, 2032, 2033, 2034, 2035, 2036, and 2037 in the amount of $1,369, $518,390, $594,905, $686,775, $159,141, $151,874, $135,096, $166,911, $311,890, $25,511, $338,345, $386,297, and $73,849, respectively.

 

Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs.  Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

 

The Company's U.S. Federal and state income tax returns prior to 2013 are closed and management continually evaluates expiring statutes of limitations, audits, proposed settlements, changes in tax law and new authoritative rulings. The statute of limitations on the 2012 tax year returns expired in March 2016.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of the income tax provision and would include accrued interest and penalties with the related tax liability in the consolidated balance sheets. There were no interest or penalties paid during 2017 and 2016.
