Note 5. Income Taxes
 
The Company had NOLs at December 31, 2012 of approximately $79,454,000 for federal tax purposes and approximately $9,478,000 of New Jersey NOL carry forwards remaining after the sale of unused NOL carry forwards, portions of which are currently expiring each year until 2031. In addition, the Company had $2,860,000 of various tax credits that started expiring in December 2012 and will continue to expire through December 2030. The Company may be able to utilize its NOLs to reduce future federal and state income tax liabilities. However, these NOLs are subject to various limitations under Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382. IRC Section 382 limits the use of NOLs to the extent there has been an ownership change of more than 50 percentage points. In addition, the NOL carryforwards are subject to examination by the taxing authority and could be adjusted or disallowed due to such exams. Although the Company has not undergone an IRC Section 382 analysis, it is possible that the utilization of the NOLs, could be substantially limited.
 
The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to Federal income tax assessment for years before 2010 for federal and 2009 for New Jersey income tax assessment. However, since the Company has incurred net operating losses in every tax year since inception, all its income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for at least three years following the year in which the tax attributes are utilized.
 
The Company has no tax provision for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 due to losses incurred and full valuation allowances recorded against net deferred tax assets.
