NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. We do not expect to pay any significant federal or state income tax for 2018 as a result of the losses recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the additional losses expected for the remainder of 2018 and net operating loss carry forwards from prior years. Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of June 30, 2018, we maintained a full valuation allowance for all deferred tax assets. Based on these requirements, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been recorded. There were no recorded unrecognized tax benefits at the end of the reporting period.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among its numerous changes to the Internal Revenue Code, the Act reduces U.S. corporate rates from 35% to 21%. Additionally, the Act limits the use of net operating loss carry backs, however any future net operating losses will instead be carried forward indefinitely. Net operating losses generated from January 1, 2018 are limited to offset 80% of current income, with the remainder of the net operating loss continuing to carry forward indefinitely. Net operating losses incurred before January 1, 2018 are not subject to the 80% limitations and will begin to expire in 2029.
