NOTE 14 - INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic No. 740, "Income Taxes."  This standard requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting and any available operating loss or tax credit carry forwards.

At December 31, 2011, a deferred tax asset results from the deferred tax benefit of asset reserve accounts in the amount of approximately $143,000 and net operating loss carryover of approximately $23,903,000, based on the U.S. Corporate income tax rate of 34%.  A 100% valuation allowance has been provided for both the current and non-current deferred tax assets, as the ability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income in the future is uncertain. The change in the valuation allowance is approximately $1,531,000.

The unexpired net operating loss carry forward at December 31, 2011 is approximately $23,903,000 with $37,207 to expire in 2012 if not utilized.
