A full valuation allowance has been provided against the Company's deferred tax assets at December 31, 2015 as the Company believes it is more likely than not that sufficient taxable income will not be generated to realize these temporary differences.

 

The Company has Federal net operating losses (NOLs) of approximately $4.2 million which begin to expire in the years beginning in 2030. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, use of the Company's NOLs and credit carry forwards may be limited if the Company experiences a cumulative change in ownership of greater than 50% in a moving three-year period.

 

The Company also has federal credits that begin to expire 2029 and state tax credits that may be carried forward indefinitely.

 

The Company provides for uncertain tax positions when such tax positions do not meet the recognition thresholds or measurement standards as set forth in ASC Topic 740. Income Taxes, regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Amounts for uncertain tax positions are adjusted in periods when new information becomes available or when positions are effectively settled. There are no unrecognized benefits related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2015. The Company does not anticipate that there will be material change in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
