Net operating loss carry forwards	$	15,959		$	15,017
Valuation Allowance		(15,959	)		(15,017	)

In assessing the

realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than

not

that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will

not

be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those differences become deductible.

Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the realizability of defer

red tax assets.
