6. INCOME TAXES
 
The Company regularly reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability taking into consideration such factors as historical losses, projected future taxable income and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences. The Company records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In view of the level of deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2014, and the Company's historical losses from operations, the Company has determined that a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets is required.
In the event that the Company earns pre-tax income in the future such that it will be able to use some or all of its deferred tax assets, the Company will reduce or eliminate the valuation allowance.  If the Company were to reverse the valuation allowance, in whole or in part, the Company's consolidated statement of operations for such reporting period would record a reduction in income tax expense and an increase in net income, to the extent of the reversal of the valuation allowance.
The Company did not record income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as it has forecasted a taxable loss for the year ending December 31, 2014. As the Company incurred a net loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, it did not record a benefit from income taxes. The Company did not reduce its valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as it was more likely than not that the Company would not be able to realize its deferred tax assets.
The Company files in multiple tax jurisdictions and from time to time is subject to audit in certain tax jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to examinations by income tax authorities in most jurisdictions for years prior to 2011.
