At December 31, 2014, the Company had federal and California net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $39.3 million and $11.4 million, respectively, expiring beginning in 2021 for federal and 2015 for California. The use of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards is subject to certain annual limitations and may be subject to further limitations as a result of changes in ownership as defined by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. An ownership change date did occur in June 2014 at the merger with eOn so that an annual limitation was estimated to reduce the federal net operating loss carryforward to approximately $20.9 million with no further limitation to the CA net operating loss carryforward . Notwithstanding, these federal and state net operating loss carryforwards could be further reduced if there are further ownership changes either prior to or after the merger.

At December 31, 2014, the gross liability for uncertain tax positions was $0. The Company does not anticipate a significant change to unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain income tax positions within the next 12 months.

It is the Company’s practice to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no interest and penalties related to income taxes.

The Company conducts business with the US, files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and California. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities including the United States and California. The Company is not currently under audit or examination by either of these jurisdictions. The federal and California statute of limitations remains open back to 2011 for federal and 2010 for California. However, due to the fact that the Company has net operating losses carried forward dating back to 2001, certain items attributable to technically closed years are still subject to adjustment by the relevant taxing authority through an adjustment to the tax attributes carried forward to open years.
