3. Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary timing differences in the recognition of income and expenses for financial reporting and tax purposes. The Company's deferred tax assets consist entirely of the benefit from net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards. The net operating loss carryforwards, if not used, will expire in various years through 2030, and are severely restricted as per the Internal Revenue code if there is a change in ownership. The Company's deferred tax assets are offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards. Net operating loss carryforwards may be further limited by other provisions of the tax laws.

 

The Company's deferred tax assets, valuation allowance, and change in valuation allowance are as follows:

 

Period Ending   Estimated NOL Carry-forward   NOL Expires   Potential Tax Benefit from NOL   Valuation Allowance   Change in Valuation Allowance

 

 

Net Tax Benefit

December 31, 2011   $500,000   2031   $113,250   $(113,250)   $-- $--
December 31, 2010   $500,000   2030   $113,250   $(113,250)   $-- $--

 

Income taxes at the statutory rate are reconciled to the Company’s actual income taxes as follows:

 

Income tax benefit at statutory rate resulting from net operating

loss carryforward

    (15.00 %)
State tax (benefit) net of federal benefit     (7.65 %)
Deferred income tax valuation allowance     22.65
Actual tax rate     0

 

The Company also is obligated to pay franchise taxes and related fees to the State of California.  At December 31, 2011, accrued and unpaid franchise taxes and related fees totaled $1,600.
