NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

 

At March 31, 2012, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $40,000,000 that expire in various years through the year 2024.

 

Due to operating losses, there is no provision for current federal or state income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes.

 

The Company’s deferred tax asset at March 31, 2012 consists of net operating loss carry forwards calculated using federal and state effective tax rates equating to approximately $16,000,000 less a valuation allowance in the amount of approximately $16,000,000. Because of the Company’s lack of earnings history, the deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance.

 

The Company’s total deferred tax asset as of March 31, 2012 is as follows:

Net operating loss carry forwards   $ 16,000,000  
Valuation allowance     (16,000,000)  
         
Net deferred tax asset   $  

 

 

The reconciliation of income taxes computed at the federal and state statutory income tax rate to total income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is as follows:

 

Income tax computed at the federal statutory rate 34%
Income tax computed at the state statutory rate 5%
Valuation allowance (39%)
Total deferred tax asset 0%

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the valuation allowance decreased by approximately $12,000 and $262,000, respectively.
