NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES

 

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had significant net operating loss carry forwards remaining that will begin to expire in 2033. The Company has determined that a full valuation allowance against its net deferred taxes is necessary as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions and certain other jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the relaxed tax laws and regulations and require significant

judgment to apply. The Company is not subject to U.S. federal, state and local tax examinations by tax authorities for the years 2012 and prior.

 

 If the Company were to subsequently record an unrecognized tax benefit, associated penalties and tax related interest expense would be reported as a component of income tax expense.

 

The provision for income taxes for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 was calculated based on estimated annual effective rate for the full 2016 calendar year, adjusted for an income tax benefit from the expected utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

 

The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations.  When circumstances change and cause a change in management's judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation is reflected in current income.
