The Company has $1,763,415 of total valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2014.  The valuation allowance relates to PIR federal net operating losses, state net operating losses, and foreign tax credit carryforwards. In assessing the recovery of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversals of future deferred tax assets, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. It has been determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized, as it has been deemed unlikely that there will be generation of taxable income for the subsidiaries that carry these losses or that sufficient foreign source income would be generated to use the foreign tax credits.

 

The Company has not recorded deferred income taxes applicable to undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that are indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Generally, such earnings become subject to U.S. tax upon the remittance of dividends and under certain other circumstances. It is not practical to estimate the amount of deferred tax liabilities on such undistributed earnings. Undistributed earnings are insignificant as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.  The Company is subject to income taxation by both federal and state taxing authorities. Income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010 are open to audit by federal and state taxing authorities. The Company has reviewed its tax positions and has determined that it has no significant uncertain positions as of December 31, 2014 or 2013.
