Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred income tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefits, which are, on a more likely than not basis, not expected to be realized; in accordance with ASC guidance for income taxes. Net deferred tax benefits related to the U.S. operations have been fully reserved at December 31, 2013 and 2012. The effect on deferred income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that such tax rate changes are enacted.

 

For income tax purposes in the United States, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL") as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 of approximately $5,462,000 and $3,672,000, respectively to reduce future federal taxable income. If any of the NOL's are not utilized, they will expire at various dates through 2033. There may be certain limitations as to the future annual use of the NOLs due to certain changes in the Company's ownership.
