At December 31, 2019, the Company had U.S. net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $3,817,475 that may be offset against future taxable income, subject to limitation under IRC Section 382. Of the $3.8 million of Federal net operating loss carryforwards, $2.5 million begin to expire in 2031. The remaining balance of $1.3 million is limited in annual usage of 80% of current year’s taxable income, but do not have an expiration. At December 31, 2019, the Company had United Kingdom net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $1 million that may be offset against future taxable income part or all of which may not be available to offset our future taxable income in the United Kingdom should there be a change in the nature or conduct of our business in the United Kingdom within the three years subsequent to the date of our acquisition of Decahedron. No tax benefit has been reported in the December 31, 2019 or 2018 consolidated financial statements due to the uncertainty surrounding the realizability of the benefit, based on a more likely than not criteria and in consideration of available positive and negative evidence. The Company has not recorded a non-cash interest expense deferred tax asset and is currently assessing its realizability. Upon completion of the analysis, deferred tax assets will be adjusted accordingly.

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 as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
