The recognized deferred tax asset is based upon the expected utilization of its benefit from future taxable income. The Company has federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $7,819,000 as of March 31, 2014, of which approximately $225,000 is subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These carryforward losses are available to offset future taxable income, and begin to expire in the year 2027. NJ State NOL carryforwards approximate $7,021,000 as of March 31, 2014. NJ NOL carryforwards expire in 7 years, and certain of these amounts begin to expire in 2014.

The foregoing amounts are management’s estimates and the actual results could differ from those estimates. Future profitability in this competitive industry depends on continually obtaining and fulfilling new profitable sales agreements and modifying products.  The inability to obtain new profitable contracts or the failure of the Company’s engineering development efforts could reduce estimates of future profitability, which could affect the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets.

A reconciliation of the income tax (benefit) provision at the statutory Federal tax rate of 34% to the income tax (benefit) provision recognized in the financial statements is as follows:
