Deferred tax assets have been reduced by a valuation allowance because, in the
opinion
of management, it is more likely than not that the Company’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is needed due to historical cumulative taxable net operating losses and the limited taxable income related to the carry back periods. The Company has available federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of $14.9 million and $13.7 million, in the fiscal years ending February 29, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The net operating loss carry forwards expire at various dates through fiscal 2040, if not used.
