7. INCOME TAXES

 

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (NOL’s) for federal and New York state income tax purposes of approximately $7 million. In March 2016, the Company completed an Internal Revenue Code Section 382 study which determined that a cumulative three-year ownership change in excess of 50% had occurred in March 2016 due to a share repurchase. As a result, the Company’s available NOLs were reduced from $47.4 million at December 31, 2015 to $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2016. There can be no assurance that the Company will realize any benefit of the NOL’s. The federal and New York state NOL’s are available to offset future taxable income and expire from 2016 through 2036 if not utilized. The Company has a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets since management continues to believe that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized.
