The Company established a full valuation allowance. The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognizes a benefit from income taxes only when reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the benefits will be realized.

 

At December 31, 2016, the Company had an unused net operating loss carryover approximating $13,417,000 that is available to offset future taxable income, which expires beginning in 2028.
