Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) Deferred Tax Asset – The Company has a net deferred tax asset of $29.282 million at December 31, 2018. Our ability to utilize deferred tax assets depends upon generating sufficient future levels of taxable income. NOL’s begin to expire in 2031. 17

Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) As of 12.31.2018, LMST’s net DTA totaled approximately $29.282 million. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using current enacted tax rates (currently 21%).Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code governs DTA impairment and “ownership change”.An “ownership change” is defined as a more than 50% change in ownership – complex assessment .382 imposes an annual ceiling on future use of the Company’s NOLs, credit carry-forwards and built-in losses.Tends to slow rate of NOL utilization (reducing present value of tax savings).Some NOLs and other tax benefits could expire before utilization is allowed if the Company does not generate sufficient taxable income.In May 2018, LMST extended a tax benefits preservation plan to June 30, 2021.Under Section 382 of the IRS Code, a permanent impairment of a substantial portion of the DTA could be triggered if shareholders owning 5% or more of the Company increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over a defined period of time.The tax benefits preservation plan is designed to reduce the likelihood of an “ownership change”.Any shareholder or group that acquires ownership of 5% or more of the Company could be subject to significant dilution in its holdings if our Board does not approve such acquisition.Existing shareholders of 5% or more are also subject to dilution if they increase their holdings without Board approval.In May 2018, shareholders approved an amendment to the articles of incorporation to further protect the long-term value of the Company’s NOLs.The amendment provides a means to block transfers of our common shares that could result in an ownership change under Section 382. 18
