10. Income Taxes | 10. Income Taxes The Company did not recognize a provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2015and 2014. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had deferred tax assets principally arising from the net operating loss carry forwards for income tax purposes multiplied by an expected rate of 40%. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been established at December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The significant components of the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:
|  | December 31, |  | December 31,
|  | 2015 |  | 2014
Deferred tax asset |  |  |  |
Net operating loss carry forward | $ | 3,436,000 | $ | 3,995,000
Exploration/development |  | 798,000 |  | 834,000
Asset retirement obligation/accrual |  | 11,000 |  | 9,000
Lease income |  | 27,000 |  | 23,000
Total deferred tax assets |  | 4,272,000 |  | 4,861,000
Valuation allowance |  | (4,153,000) |  | (4,171,000)
Net |  | 119,000 |  | 690,000

Acquisition of mineral interest |  | (90,000) |  | (90,000)
Property, plant, and equipment |  | (29,000) |  | (600,000)
Total deferred tax liabilities |  | (119,000) |  | (690,000)
Net deferred tax asset | $ | 0 | $ | 0
At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $9,623,000 and $8,754,000 respectively for both federal and the state of Idaho, which expire in the years 2018 through 2035. The income tax benefit shown in the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 differs from the statutory rate as follows:
|  | December 31, 2015 |  | December 31, 2014
Provision (benefit) at statutory rate |  | $ | (86,000) |  | $ | (499,000)
State taxes, net of federal taxes |  |  | (12,000) |  |  | (71,000)
Affect prior year restatement/adjustments |  |  | 116,000 |  |  | 177,000
Increase (decrease) in valuation allowance |  |  | (18,000) |  |  | 393,000
Total provision (benefit) |  | $ | 0 |  | $ | 0
We are open to examination of our income tax filings in the United States and state jurisdictions for the 2013 through 2015 tax years. In the event that the Company is assessed penalties and or interest, penalties will be charged to other operating expense and interest will be charged to interest expense. Certain tax positions taken in the 2013 through 2014 tax years could result in minor adjustments to our exploration and development costs for tax purposes. However, these adjustments would not result in a tax provision, but only revise to the net operating loss carry forward balance.
