During 2013, the Company generated federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $180,000. The Company’s valuation allowance associated with the related deferred tax assets was increased by approximately $7,000 in 2013 and decreased by approximately $109,000 in 2012.  The change in our valuation allowance for 2013 and 2012 was attributable to the expected profitability on contracts being fulfilled as of the end of each period.

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 be realized.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  Management considers both positive and negative evidence in making this assessment, including the future reversal of existing temporary taxable differences, projected future taxable income, the recent expiration of unused net operating losses and tax planning strategies.  Due to the Company’s inability to project future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets may become deductible, management does not believe it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the entire benefit of its deferred tax assets. As a result, management believes the maintenance of a valuation allowance is required at December 31, 2013 against that portion of the Company’s net deferred tax asset that may not be realized.


The Company continues to analyze its income tax positions and no significant income tax uncertainties were identified in 2013 and 2012. Therefore, the Company recognized no adjustment for unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
