Note 9 — Income Taxes

Provisions for income taxes are based on taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred taxes on temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets and liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the current period’s provision for income taxes. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying value of our deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a portion or all of the deferred tax assets will expire before realization of the benefit or future deductibility is not probable. We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the tax position.

As of September 30, 2017, we have net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. However, due to our cumulative loss position, we have established a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a provision for federal or state income taxes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
