Income Taxes

10. INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on income arising in, or derived from, the tax jurisdictions in which they operate. The Company is current with all its federal and state tax filings. The Company is open to examination for tax years 2000 through 2019 due to the carry back of net operating losses.

The following is a reconciliation of the federal statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate as a percentage for the years ended December 31:

	2019			2018
Statutory Federal Income Tax Rate		21	%		21	%
Warrant Liability		21			21
Effect of Valuation Allowance on Deferred Tax Assets		(21	)		(21	)
		-	%		-	%

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

The components of deferred tax assets as of December 31 are as follows:

	2019			2018
Deferred Tax Assets:
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards	$	2,742,283		$	2,730,949
Capital Loss Carryforward		-			-

The valuation allowance at December 31, 2019 and 2018 was primarily related to federal net operating loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, are not more-likely-than-not to be realized. 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 not 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 the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax asset, the Company will need to generate future taxable income of approximately $12.6 million prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards beginning in 2019. Taxable loss for the year ended December 31, 2019 approximated $465,000. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowance at December 31, 2019.

When more than a 50% change in ownership occurs, over a three-year period, as defined, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards in the years following the change in ownership. No determination has been made as of December 31, 2019, as to what implications, if any, there will be in the net operating loss carry forwards of the Company.
