The Company incurred costs of
$174,737
related to its search to complete a business combination which are
not
deductible for federal income tax purposes and resulted in the generation of a deferred tax asset of
$36,695
which is available to offset future taxable income.
 
In assessing the realization 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 ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
 
A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate at
December 31, 2018
