 NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES

There was no provision for income taxes for 2016 and 2015 due to a net operating losses and doubt as to the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern resulting in a 100% valuation allowance. Years from 2012 forward are open to IRS examination.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate (35%) on operations due primarily to permanent differences attributable to organizational expenses.
