The Company has federal net operating loss of $58,310,604 and $18,043,321 as of the current and prior year, respectively. All of the federal net operating loss has an indefinite carry forward period.

 

The Company has various state net operating carry forwards. The determination of the state net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon apportionment percentages and state laws that can change from year to year and impact the amount of such carryforwards. In general, under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or the Code), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change,” generally defined as a greater than 50% change by value in its equity ownership over a three-year period, is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses (“NOLs”), other tax attribute carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income. Our existing NOLs, other tax attribute carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards may be subject to limitations arising from previous ownership changes. If we undergo, or are deemed to have previously undergone, an ownership change, our ability to utilize NOLs, other tax attribute carryforwards and research and development credit carryforwards could be limited by Sections 382 and 383 of the Code. Additionally, future changes in our stock ownership, some of which might be beyond our control, could result in an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code. For these reasons, in the event we experience or are deemed to have experienced an “ownership change” for these purposes, we may not be able to utilize a material or even a substantial portion of the NOLs, other tax attribute carryforwards, research and development credit carryforwards, even if we attain profitability. We have not completed a Code Section 382 analysis regarding any limitation on our NOL carryforwards.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. Due primarily to its history of operating losses, the Company is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will realize the benefits of its deferred tax assets. Therefore, the Company provided a valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax assets during current year, reflecting an increase of $9,959,488. Management does not believe that there are significant uncertain tax positions in the current and prior year. There are no interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in the current and prior year.
