Note H — Income Tax

 

We are domiciled in the United States under Maryland law; therefore, the corporate entity is obligated to pay taxes in the United States on either income or capital gains. We are currently subject to corporate federal and state income taxes. From inception to December 31, 2015, we had future taxable income deductions (deferred tax assets) related to initial year expenditures resulting from a net operating loss. We have recorded a valuation allowance equal to 100% of the resulting gross deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefit and the intention to elect to be taxed as a REIT beginning the year ending December 31, 2015.

 

To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our shareholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent we distribute our REIT taxable income to our shareholders and provided we satisfy the REIT requirements including certain asset, income, distribution and stock ownership tests. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year in which we lost our REIT qualification. Accordingly, our failure to qualify as a REIT could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and amounts available for distribution to our shareholders.

 

A REIT's dividend paid deduction for qualifying dividends to its shareholders is computed using its taxable income as opposed to net income reported on the consolidated financial statements. Taxable income, generally, will differ from net income reported on the consolidated financial statements because the determination of taxable income is based on tax regulations and not financial accounting principles.

 

The Company may elect to treat certain of its future subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries which we refer to as “TRS”. In general, a TRS may hold assets and engage in activities that the REIT cannot hold or engage in directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. A TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes.

 

The following table sets forth the components of our deferred tax assets:

    State --
    Total Current Taxes --
Change in Deferred Taxes (43,000)
Change in Valuation Allowance 43,000
   
Provision for income tax expense (benefit) $--

 

The following is a summary of the significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at years end:

 

  12/31/2015
Deferred Tax Assets:  
   Net operating loss carryforward 126,000
   Total Deferred Tax Assets 126,000
   Valuation allowance (126,000)
   Deferred Tax Assets, net of valuation allowance --
   Non-current portion --
   Current portion $--

 

 

 

The effective tax rate used for calculation of the deferred taxes as of December 31, 2015 was 34%. The Company has established a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $126,000 due to the uncertainty regarding realization, comprised primarily of a reserve against the deferred tax assets attributable to the net operating loss carryforward timing differences.

 

As of December 31, 2015, we did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. Additionally, we did not accrue interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, nor was any interest expense or penalty recognized during the year. We remain subject to tax examination for the period from inception to December 31, 2015.
