NOTE 15 - INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability approach. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to reverse. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had provided a valuation allowance to fully reserve its net operating loss carryforwards and other items giving rise to deferred tax assets, primarily as a result of anticipated net losses for income tax purposes.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company received approval for the sale of approximately $10,338,000 of the Company’s New Jersey loss carryforwards (“NJ NOLs”) under a program of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority, subject to a 7.4% seller’s allocation factor ($760,000, net) for approximately $63,000. As such, the Company reversed the valuation allowance related to these NJ NOLs in 2013. In January 2014, the Company received approximately $63,000 in cash proceeds.
