Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets are as follows:

		June 30, 2016				June 30, 2015
Deferred tax asset:
Net operating losses		$	1,716,980			$	1,773,959
State tax			272				(272	)
Intangibles			19,993				151,643
Tax credits			425,011				56,934
Other, net			111,732				142,191
Total deferred tax assets			2,273,988				2,124,455
Deferred tax liabilities:
Fixed asset			(16,600	)			–
Intangibles			(38,535	)			–
Total deferred tax liabilities			(55,135	)			–
Less valuation allowance			(200,117	)			(57,206	)
Net deferred tax asset		$	2,018,736			$	2,067,249

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We have evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of our gross deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of forecasted future taxable income. Management determined it is more likely than not that the federal deferred tax assets will be fully realized and no valuation allowance is necessary as of June 30, 2016. Management also determined that certain state deferred tax assets required a partial valuation allowance as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2016, we have federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $4.2 million and $1.7 million, which expire through 2034 and 2017, respectively. The utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitations under provision of the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions.

We adopted the provision of ASC 740 related to accounting for uncertain tax positions effective July 1, 2007, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under this provision, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. Tax benefits of an uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained based on technical merits.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits, which have been considered in the Company’s computation of its deferred tax assets, is as follows:

Balance as of June 30, 2014		$	60,135
Gross increase or (decrease)			74,684
Reversal of reserve on unrecognized tax benefits			(4,355	)
Balance as of June 30, 2015			130,464
Gross increase or (decrease)			38,059
Balance as of June 30, 2016		$	168,523

We do not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months. ASC 740 requires us to accrue interest and penalties where there is an underpayment of taxes based on our best estimate of the amount ultimately to be paid. Our policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. We have not recorded any interest or penalties as the liability associated with the unrecognized tax benefits is immaterial. We are subject to taxation in the U.S., various state and foreign jurisdictions.

The Internal Revenue Service and Franchise Tax Board have completed their examinations of our 2007 and 2008 taxable years with a favorable final resolution of the Company’s claim for research and development tax credits. As of June 30, 2016, the R&D tax credits that we have claimed have been received in full. In addition, the Franchise Tax Board completed their examination of our taxable years from 2008 to 2011 with a favorable resolution of the Company’s claim for tax refunds in regards to the California apportionment of our income. As of June 30, 2016, the tax refunds that we have claimed have been received in full from the Franchise Tax Board.
