INCOME TAXES | NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Accounting for Income Taxes which requires the Company to provide a net deferred tax asset or liability equal to the expected future tax benefit or expense of temporary reporting differences between book and tax accounting and any available operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. At June 30, 2016 and 2015, the total of all deferred tax assets was $4,159,360 and $5,409,856, respectively, and the total of the deferred tax assets related to goodwill was $1,830,789 and $1,319,678, respectively. The amount of and ultimate realization of the benefits from the deferred tax assets for income tax purposes is dependent, in part, upon the tax laws in effect, the Companys future earnings, and other future events, the effects of which cannot be determined. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets the Company established a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset. The change in the valuation allowance for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $541,390 and $501,144, respectively. The components of income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 consist of the following: For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 2015 Current tax expense: Federal $ - $ - State - - Current tax expense - - Deferred tax expense (benefit): Goodwill 255,554 255,554 Valuation Allowance (541,390) (501,144) Net operating loss carryforward 285,836 245,590 Subtotal deferred tax expense/(benefit) - - Income tax expense/(benefit) $ - $ - Deferred income tax expense/(benefit) results primarily from the reversal of temporary timing differences between tax and financial statement income.
