Note 9 – Income Taxes

 

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 amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

 

    2014     2013  
Deferred tax assets:            
Net operating losses   $

22,866,340

    $ 17,884,298  
Less: valuation allowance    

(22,866,340

As of December 31, 2014, for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes, the Company has approximately $67.0 million of unused net operating losses (“NOLs”) available for carry forward to future years. The benefit from the carry forward of such NOLs will begin expiring during the year ended December 31, 2021. Because United States tax laws limit the time during which NOL carry forwards may be applied against future taxable income, the Company may be unable to take full advantage of its NOL for federal income tax purposes should the Company generate taxable income. Further, the benefit from utilization of NOLs carry forwards could be subject to limitations due to material ownership changes that could occur in the Company as it continues to raise additional capital. Based on such limitations, the Company has significant NOLs for which realization of tax benefits is uncertain.

 

The difference between the income tax provision and the amount that would result if the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 34% were applied to pre-tax loss for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
