During 2013, the Company adjusted its estimate of business apportionment, thus decreasing its effective state and local tax rate from 10.6% to 9.6%. The decrease is primarily due to allocation of business receipts from New York State and New York City.
 
The tax effects of these temporary differences along with the net operating losses, net of an allowance for credits, have been recognized as deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012 as follows:

The Company establishes a valuation allowance, if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance increased $1,082,369 and $942,041 during 2013 and 2012, respectively, offsetting the increase in the deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss and reserves.
  
As of December 31, 2013, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward of approximately $5,260,000 for Federal tax purposes.  The net operating loss expires through 2032.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has no unrecognized tax positions, including interest and penalties. The tax years 2010-2012 are still open to examination by the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company files returns in the United States Federal tax jurisdiction and various other state jurisdictions.
