Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets represent items to be used as a tax deduction or credit in future tax returns for which a tax benefit has been recorded in the income statement. The Company has a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of future realization. The full valuation allowance is determined to be appropriate due to the Company's operating losses since fiscal year 2010 and the inherent uncertainties of predicting future operating results in periods over which such net tax differences become deductible. At September 30, 2016, the Company had $13.4 million of unrecognized net deferred tax assets available, which includes approximately $8.8 million of tax effected U.S. and foreign net operating loss carryforwards. On August 29, 2014, the Company merged with IQinVision, Inc. In connection with this merger, the Company's ability to utilize pre-merger net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards in the future is subject to certain limitations pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation on utilization of the Company's U.S. net operating loss carryforwards is presently estimated at $500,000.

The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.  The Company files U.S. Federal and State income tax returns and foreign tax returns in the United Kingdom, Germany and Israel.  The Company is generally no longer subject to tax examinations in such jurisdictions for fiscal years prior to 2013 in the U.S. and 2010 in the U.K., Germany and Israel.
