|  | For the year ended June 30, 2020 |  |  | For the year ended June 30, 2019 |  |  | For the year ended June 30, 2018 |
Cayman |  | $ | (4,851,668 | ) |  | $ | (6,470,553 | ) |  | $ | (2,307,119 | )
United States |  |  | (316,142 | ) |  |  | (188,869 | ) |  |  | - |

|  | $ | (5,168,642 | ) |  | $ | (6,659,422 | ) |  | $ | (2,307,119 | )
The following table reconciles the U.S. statutory rates to the Company’s effective tax rate for the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:
|  | For the year ended June 30, 2020 |  |  | For the year ended June 30, 2019 |
Federal statutory rate |  |  | 21.0 | % |  |  | 21.0 | %
State statutory rate |  |  | 5.6 | % |  |  | 5.6 | %

Significant components of deferred tax assets were as follows:
|  | June 30, 2020 |  |  | June 30, 2019 |
Deferred tax assets |  |  |  |  |  |
Net operating loss carryforward in the U.S. |  |  | 134,378 |  |  |  | 50,256 |
Net operating loss carryforward in Hong Kong |  |  | 137 |  |  |  | - |
Valuation allowance |  |  | (134,515 | ) |  |  | (50,256 | )
Total net deferred tax assets |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |
As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, CACM and Baytao’s net operating loss carry forward for the U.S. income taxes was approximately $0.5 million and $0.2 million, receptively. The net operating loss carry forwards are available to reduce future years’ taxable income for unlimited years but limited to 80% use per year. Management believes that the realization of the benefits from these losses appears uncertain due to the Company’s operating history and continued losses in the U.S. If the Company is unable to generate taxable income in its United States operations, it is more likely than not that it will not have sufficient income to utilize its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has provided a 100% valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets of approximately $134,000 and $50,000 related to its U.S. operations as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Changes in the value allowance for deferred tax assets increased by $84,259 from $50,256 at June 30, 2019 to $134,515 at June 30, 2020.
(b) | Uncertain tax positions
There were no uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, management does not anticipate any potential future adjustments which would result in a material change to its tax positions. For the years ended June 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not incur any tax related interest or penalties.
