As of December 31, 2014, the Company had federal, state and foreign
net operating loss carryforwards aggregating approximately $8,885,000 that are available to offset future liabilities for income
taxes. The Company has generally established a valuation allowance against these carryforwards based on an assessment that it is
more likely than not that these benefits will not be realized in future years. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards
expire at various dates through 2034.
The Company remains subject to examination in federal, state and
foreign jurisdictions in which the Company conducts its operations and files tax returns. These tax years range from 2011 through
2014. The Company believes that the results of current or any prospective audits will not have a material effect on its financial
position or results of operations as adequate reserves have been provided to cover any potential exposures related to these ongoing
audits.
The Company has made its assessment of the level of tax authority
for each tax position (including the potential application of interest and penalties) based on the technical merits, and has measured
the unrecognized tax benefits associated with the tax positions. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had additional unrecognized
tax benefits of $16,486 and $12,374, respectively, that mainly related to state and city tax. The unrecognized tax benefit is recorded
as non-current liabilities because the related payment is not anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date. The Company
classifies interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in interest expense. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending
amount of unrecognized tax benefits for 2014 and 2013 is as follows:
