As of December 31, 2014, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry‑forwards (after tax) of $51,709 and $3,875, respectively. Federal and state net operating loss carry‑forwards expire beginning the year 2015 through the year 2034, the majority of which expire in excess of ten years.

The Company has unrealized tax benefits of $3,595 arising from tax deductions for share based compensation in excess of the compensation recognized for financial reporting purposes. Realization of this excess tax benefit will occur when current taxes payable are reduced with a corresponding credit to additional paid in capital.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and certain distinct tax planning strategies in making this assessment. If changes occur in the assumption underlying the Company’s tax planning strategies or in the scheduling of the reversal of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities, the valuation allowance may need to be adjusted in the future. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

The Company endeavors to comply with tax laws and regulations where it does business, but cannot guarantee that, if challenged, the Company’s interpretation of all relevant tax laws and regulations will prevail and that all tax benefits recorded in the financial statements will ultimately be recognized in full. The Company has taken reasonable efforts to address uncertain tax positions, and has determined that there are no material transactions or material tax positions taken by the Company that would fail to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold for recognizing transactions or tax positions in the financial statements. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a reserve for uncertain tax positions in the financial statements, and the Company does not expect any significant tax increase or decrease to occur within the next 12 months with respect to any transactions or tax positions taken and reflected in the financial statements. In making these determinations, the Company presumes that taxing authorities pursuing examinations of the Company’s compliance with tax law filing requirements will have full knowledge of all relevant information, and, if necessary, the Company will pursue resolution of disputed tax positions by appeals or litigation.

As of December 31, 2014, the Company's U.S. income tax returns for the year ended September 30, 2011 and subsequent years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). The Company is not currently under audit by the IRS. State income tax returns generally have statute of limitations for periods between three and four years from the filing date. The Company is not currently undergoing any state income tax audits. The Company is not currently under audit in any foreign jurisdictions. The Company's foreign operations have statute of limitations on the examination of tax returns for periods of four years.
