Contingency related to outstanding payroll tax liabilities:

 

The Company is delinquent in filing its payroll tax returns resulting in taxes, interest and penalties payable at December 31, 2014 and 2013. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 as part of Taxes Payable, the Company has payroll tax liabilities of approximately $2,065,000 and $1,778,000, respectively due to various taxing authorities on the consolidated balance sheets. If the Company does not satisfy these liabilities, the taxing authorities may place liens on its bank accounts which would have a negative impact on its ability to operate. Further, the actual liability may be higher due to interest or penalties assessed by same taxing authorities.
