INCOME TAXES

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2012

The Company has adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” codified in FASB ASC 740-10. This interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" codified in FASB ASC 740-10, and prescribes a recognition threshold of more likely than not and a measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. In making this assessment, a company must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, based solely on the technical merits of the position and must assume that the tax position will be examined by taxing authorities. The Company is subject to examination for all years it has filed income tax returns. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes. The Company’s review of prior year tax positions using the criteria and provisions presented in FIN 48 did not result in a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

At March 31, 2012, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards available for federal tax purposes, which expire from 2028 to 2031. The amount of net operating losses which may be utilized in future years may be subject to significant annual limitations should an ownership change occur. The Company also has operating loss carryforwards available for California income tax purposes, which expire through 2031. The amounts of operating loss carryforwards are not determined. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are subject to IRS examination until they are fully utilized and such tax years are closed.

At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, total deferred income tax asset consist principally of net operating loss carryforwards in amounts still to be determined. For financial reporting purposes, a valuation allowance has been recognized in an amount equal to such deferred income tax asset due to the uncertainty surrounding its ultimate realization.

At December 31, 2011, the Company files income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). For jurisdictions in which tax filings are made, the Company is subject to income tax examination for all fiscal years since inception. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are subject to IRS examination until they are fully utilized and such tax years are closed. Our review of prior year tax positions using the criteria and provisions presented by the FASB did not result in a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
