INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740: Income Taxes which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards.  ASC Topic 740 additionally requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. The Company has a net operating loss carry forward for tax purposes totaling approximately $0.2 million at December 31, 2015, expiring through the year 2035. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 places a limitation on the amount of taxable income that can be offset by carry forwards after certain ownership shifts.

 

The table below summarizes the differences between the Company’s effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate as follows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014:

 

    December 31,
2015

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are provided for significant income and expense items recognized in different years for tax and financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences, which give rise to a net deferred tax asset is as follows:

 

    December 31,
2015
    December 31, 2014  
Deferred tax assets:                
    Net operating loss carryforward   $ 195,645      $ 9,824,400  
                 
Total deferred tax assets   $ 195,645      $ 9,824,400  
                 

Deferred tax liabilities:

               
Book basis of property and equipment in excess of tax basis   $ -     $ -  
Total deferred tax liabilities   $ -     $ -  
                 
Net deferred tax asset before valuation allowance   $ 195,645      $ 9,824,400  
Less:  valuation allowance     (195,645)       (9,824,400 )
Net deferred tax asset   $ -     $ -  

 

The net operating losses were reduced from $9,824,400 at December 31, 2014 to $195645 at December 31, 2015, due to a reverse merger and the Company changing business lines. Prior Company NOL’s were lossed based on the above. After consideration of all the evidence, both positive and negative, management has recorded a full valuation allowance at December 31, 2015 and 2014, due to the uncertainty of realizing the deferred income tax assets. The valuation allowance was decreased by approximately $9,628,755.
