	2015		2014
Deferred tax assets:
Loss carry-forwards	$	2,900,000	$	2,700,000
Valuation allowance		(2,900,000)		(2,700,000)

At December 31, 2015, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $8,545,703 which expire beginning in 2015.

Utilization of the Company's loss carryforwards is dependent on realizing taxable income. Deferred tax assets for these carryforwards have been reduced by a valuation allowance up to an amount equal to estimated deferred tax liability.

The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.  The Company is not currently the subject of any income tax examinations by any tax authorities.

Based upon a review of its income tax filing positions, the Company believes that its positions would be sustained upon an audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.  Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.  The Company recognizes interest related to income taxes as interest expense and penalties as operating expenses.
