At December 31, 2013, the Bank has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9,400,000 for income tax purposes that expire in 2020 through 2034.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for income tax purposes.  For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance of $3,679,289 and $3,460,103 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, has been recognized to offset the net deferred tax assets related to the cumulative temporary differences and the tax loss carry forwards.  Significant components of the Bank’s net deferred tax assets are as follows:

At December 31, 2013, no valuation allowance was recorded for the deferred tax asset related to the unrealized holding losses on securities available-for-sale because the Company had the intent and the ability to hold these securities until recovery of the unrealized losses, which may be at maturity.  The Company will continue to monitor its deferred tax position and may make changes to the valuation allowance recorded as circumstances change.

Management has evaluated the Bank’s tax positions and concluded that the Bank has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. With few exceptions, the Bank is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for the years before 2010.
