The provisions for income taxes do not bear a normal relationship to loss before income taxes primarily as a result of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

The most significant jurisdictions in which the Company is required to file income tax returns include the U.S. federal jurisdiction and the States of New Jersey, California, Indiana, Pennsylvania and Texas. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for year ends prior to 2012. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state income tax examinations for year ends prior to 2011.

The reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax is presented below:

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows:

In assessing the realizability of the net deferred tax assets, the Company considers all relevant positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The realization of the gross deferred tax assets is dependent on several factors, including the generation of sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The Company has experienced taxable losses from inception. As such, there is a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of $158,018,900, which expire between 2025 and 2035. The Company may be subject to certain limitations in its annual utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to off-set future taxable income pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which could result in NOLs expiring unused. At December 31, 2015, the Company had $128,565,558 of State NOLs which expire between 2016 and 2035.

Entities are also required to evaluate, measure, recognize and disclose any uncertain income tax provisions taken on their income tax returns. The Company has analyzed its tax positions and has concluded that as of December 31, 2015, there were no uncertain positions. Interest and penalties, if any, as they relate to income taxes assessed, are included in the income tax provision. There was no income tax related interest and penalties included in the income tax provision for 2015, 2014, and 2013.
