The Company applied the “more-likely-than not” recognition threshold to all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits reflected in the 2013 financial statements. The Company classifies interest and penalties that would accrue according to the provisions of relevant tax law as income taxes. The provision for income taxes in 2013 represents a federal alternative minimum tax assessment of $19,000 relating to the year 2012. The provision for income taxes in 2012 represents a state tax assessment of $34,000 relating to years 2007, 2008 and 2009 based on a tax examination completed by New York State in 2012. Tax Years for 2010 and thereafter are subject to examinations by federal and state authorities. The Company is currently under tax examination by the States of New York and illinois for tax years 2010 and 2011. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their tax basis. The principal items giving rise to deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows:
|  | December 31, |
|  | 2013 |  | 2012 |
Deferred tax asset: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net operating loss credit carryforwards |  | $ | 4,670,000 |  | $ | 3,239,000 |

Due to cumulative losses incurred by the Company during the current and prior two years, the Company is unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that it will realize its net deferred tax asset and, accordingly, has recorded a valuation allowance to fully offset its deferred tax asset at December 31, 2013 and 2012. At December 31, 2013, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards aggregating $16 million, which expires through 2033 in various states. In addition, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of $10 million at December 31, 2013, which expires through 2033. The Company also has additional federal net operating loss carryforwards of $471,000 at December 31, 2013 which is attributable to WFN and expires through 2020. Utilization of WFN’s federal net operating loss carryforwards is subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company applied the “more-likely-than not” recognition threshold to all tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return which resulted in no unrecognized tax benefits reflected in the 2013 financial statements. The Company classifies interest and penalties that would accrue according to the provisions of relevant tax law as income taxes. The provision for income taxes in 2013 represents a federal alternative minimum tax assessment of $19,000, including $4000 of interest and penalties, relating to the year 2012. The provision for income taxes in 2012 represents a state tax assessment of $34,000 relating to years 2007, 2008 and 2009 based on a tax examination completed by New York State in 2012. Tax years for 2010 and thereafter are subject to examinations by federal and state authorities. The Company is currently under tax examination by the States of New York and illinois for tax years 2010 and 2011.
