For the period from October 11, 2016, through December 31, 2016 (Successor), equity was debited $5.6 million in connection with the issuance of shares to a noncontrolling interest owner. No tax benefit was recorded in equity as a $2.0 million valuation allowance fully offset the attendant tax benefit. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $7.3 million of federal net operating loss carryovers that commence expiry in 2035. The Company periodically assesses whether it is more likely than not that it will generate sufficient taxable income to realize its deferred income tax assets, including net operating losses. In making this determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence and makes certain assumptions. The Company considers, among other things, its deferred tax liabilities, the overall business environment, its historical earnings and losses, current industry trends, and its outlook for future years. It is currently estimated that the Company’s net deferred tax assets will not be utilized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets has been recorded at December 31, 2016. The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations. The Company gives financial statement recognition to those tax positions that it believes are more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon the examination by the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental agency. As of December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any accrued liability for uncertain tax positions and does not anticipate recognition of any significant liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are reported in income tax expense. The Company is subject to the following material taxing jurisdictions: U.S., Colorado and Texas. As of December 31, 2016, the Company has no current tax years under audit. The Company remains subject to examination for federal income taxes and state income taxes for tax years 2015 and 2016.
