Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense for the periods presented in the statements of operations represents minimum Delaware franchise taxes. The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes were as follows:

 

    2020   2019
         
Statutory federal income tax rate   21.0%   N/A
State income taxes, net of federal taxes   0.0%   N/A
Effective income tax rate   0.0%   0.0%

 

In accordance with SAB Topic 1: Financial Statements, Subsidiary’s or Division’s Separate Financial Statements and Segments, income taxes are consolidated with MCIG, the controlling entity of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2019 and for a portion of its fiscal year ending January 31, 2020.  The Company will not consolidate its tax return with MCIG effective November 21, 2019, the date in which MCIG was no longer a controlling interest in the Company. There are currently no tax implications should the Company not consolidate with MCIG. With only losses showing for the periods shown there would be no taxes payable for any periods presented. If there were tax expenses, they would be based on the IRS published corporate tax rate of 21% for 2020 and 2019.

 

The Company may not be able to utilize the net operating loss carry forwards for its U.S. income taxes in future periods should it experience a change in ownership as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”).  Under section 382, should the Company experience a more than 50% change in its ownership over a 3-year period, the Company would be limited based on a formula as defined in the IRC to the amount per year it could utilize in that year of the net operating loss carry forwards. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) imposes limitations on the use of NOL’s and credits following changes in ownership as defined in the IRC. The limitation could reduce the amount of benefits that would be available to offset future taxable income each year, starting with the year of an ownership change. The Company has not completed the complex analysis required by the IRC to determine if an ownership change has occurred.

 

At the end of the fiscal year ending January 31, 2020, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards available to offset future taxable income of approximately $4,109,445. These carry forwards will begin to expire in the year ending December 31, 2034. Utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar state provisions.

 

The Company has not performed a change in ownership analysis, accordingly, some or all of its net operating loss carry forwards may not be available to offset future taxable income. Even if the loss carry forwards are available, they may be subject to substantial annual limitations resulting from ownership changes occurring after January 31, 2020, that could result in the expiration of the loss carry forwards before they are utilized.

 

The nature of the components of the deferred tax asset is entirely attributable to the Net operating loss carry-forwards incurred by the Company less any permanent differences that maybe used in future years to offset future tax liabilities.  We believe that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain NOL carryforwards will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, we have provided a valuation allowance to offset the deferred tax assets relating to these NOL carryforwards
