NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER
31, 2018 AND 2017
NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS
CirTran
Corporation (“Cirtran,” “the Company” or “we”) now without significant operations due to shortages
of working capital, through our different subsidiaries, has provided a mix of high- and medium-volume turnkey manufacturing
services and products using various high-tech applications for leading electronics original equipment manufacturers in the communications,
networking, peripherals, gaming, law enforcement, consumer products, telecommunications, automotive, medical, semiconductor and
beverage industries. Our service capabilities include pre-manufacturing, manufacturing, and post-manufacturing services.
Our goal is to offer customers the significant competitive advantages that can be obtained from manufacture outsourcing.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles
of Consolidation
We
consolidate all of our majority-owned subsidiaries, companies over which we exercise control through majority voting rights, and
companies in which we have a variable interest and we are the primary beneficiary. We account for our investments in common stock
of other companies that we do not control, but over which we can exert significant influence using the cost method.
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CirTran Corporation and our wholly owned subsidiaries: CirTran Beverage
Corp., CirTran Products Corp., CirTran Online Corp., CirTran Media Corp., CirTran Corporation (Utah), CirTran - Asia, Inc., and
Racore Network, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use
of Estimates
In
preparing the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
We
follow Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606,
Revenue
from Contracts with Customers
, the for revenue recognition. Adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our financial
statements. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects
the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those products or services. Revenue is recognized net of allowances
for returns and any taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
We
consider all highly liquid, short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We
did not hold any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.
Investment
in Securities
Our
cost-method investment consists of an investment in a private digital multi-media technology company that totaled $300,000 at
December 31, 2018 and 2017. As we owned less than 20% of that company’s stock as of each date, and no significant influence
or control exists, the investment is accounted for using the cost method. We evaluated the investment for impairment and determined
there was none during the periods presented.
Property
and Equipment
We
incur certain costs associated with the design and development of molds and dies for our contract-manufacturing segment. These
costs are held as deposits on the balance sheet until the molds or dies are finished and ready for use. At that point, the costs
are included as part of production equipment in property and equipment and are amortized over their useful lives. We hold title
to all molds and dies used in the manufacture of products. The capitalized cost, net of accumulated depreciation, associated with
molds and dies included in property and equipment at December 31, 2018 and 2017, was$12,065 and $14,357, respectively.
Depreciation
expense is recognized in amounts equal to the cost of depreciable assets over estimated service lives. Leasehold improvements
are amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease or the service life of the improvements. The straight-line method of depreciation
and amortization is followed for financial reporting purposes. Maintenance, repairs, and renewals, which neither materially add
to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on dispositions
of property and equipment are included in operating results.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
We
review our long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate whether events and circumstances have
occurred that indicate possible impairment. We use an estimate of future undiscounted net cash flows from the related asset or
group of assets over their remaining life in measuring whether the assets are recoverable. We did not record expenses for the
impairment of long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2018 or 2017.
Financial
Instruments with Derivative Features
We
do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. However, we have financial instruments that are considered derivatives
or contain embedded features subject to derivative accounting. Embedded derivatives are valued separately from the host instrument
and are recognized as derivative liabilities in our balance sheet. We measure these instruments at their estimated fair value
and recognize changes in their estimated fair value in results of operations during the period of change. We have estimated the
fair value of these embedded derivatives using a Multi-NomialLattis model. The fair values of the derivative instruments are measured
each reporting period.
During
the year ended December 31, 2017, our common stock was suspended from trading. Because of this, the convertible note no longer
met the criteria to bifurcate the instrument under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard
Codification (“ASC”) 815,
Derivatives and Hedging
. As such, we determined the underlying common stock of the
instruments being accounted for as derivative liabilities had no value. As a result, the fair value of the derivative liabilities
as of the date our common stock was no longer available to trade was written off to additional paid-in capital in accordance with
ASC 815-15-35-4. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we became current with its filing requirements with the SEC. However,
we have not yet received clearance from FINRA for our stock to resume trading. As such, we determined the underlying common stock
of the debt instruments had no value as of December 31, 2018.
Stock-Based
Compensation
We
have
outstanding stock options to directors and employees,
which are described more fully in
Note 13
–
Stock Options and Warrants
. We account for our stock
options in accordance with ASC 718-10, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which requires the recognition of the cost of
employee services received in exchanged for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements and is measured based on
the grant date fair value of the award. ASC 718-10 also requires the stock option compensation expense to be recognized over the
period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (typically the vesting period).
Stock-based
employee compensation was $480 and $1,340 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Income
Taxes
We
use
the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under
the liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and
the tax basis of assets, liabilities, the carry forward of operating losses and tax credits, and are measured using the enacted
tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. An allowance against deferred tax assets
is recorded when it is more likely than not that such tax benefits will not be realized. Research tax credits are recognized as
used.
Concentrations
of Risk
During
the year ended December 31, 2017, we generated revenues totaling $12,500 which were from one customer. There were no revenues
during the year ended December 31, 2018.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for cash, notes payable, and accounts payable
approximate fair values because of the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts
of our debt obligations approximate fair value.
ASC
820-10-15,
Fair Value Measurement-Overall-Scope and Scope Exceptions
, defines fair value, thereby eliminating inconsistencies
in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements, and increases disclosures surrounding fair value calculations. ASC
820-10-15 establishes a three-tiered fair value hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used in fair value calculations.
The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:
Level
1—Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level
2—Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
asset or liability, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets
or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations
in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level
3—Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are
significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Accounts
payable and related-party payables have fair values that approximate the carrying value due to the short-term nature of these
instruments.
Loss
Per Share
Basic
loss per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during each period. Diluted EPS is similarly calculated, except that the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding would include common shares that may be issued subject to existing rights with dilutive potential when applicable.
We did not have any potentially issuable common shares at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Short-term
Advances
We
have short-term advances with various individuals. These advances are due upon demand, carry no interest, and are not collateralized.
These advances are classified as short-term liabilities.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently
issued accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that require adoption
and that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements upon
adoption.
NOTE
3—GOING CONCERN AND REALIZATION OF ASSETS
In
October 2016, we lost our ability to continue energy drink distribution, our principal source of revenue, after receiving an unfavorable
ruling in our suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern. We had a working capital deficiency of
$36,653,372 and $35,750,688 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and a net loss of $1,111,221 and $2,049,862 during
the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $77,710,520
and $76,599,299, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our
ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish our business plan described in
the following paragraphs and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that may be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
In
the coming year, our foreseeable cash requirements will relate to development of business operations and associated expenses.
We may experience a cash shortfall and be required to raise additional capital.
Historically,
we have mostly relied upon shareholder loans and advances to finance operations and growth. Management may raise additional capital
by retaining net earnings, if any, or through future public or private offerings of our stock or loans from private investors,
although we cannot assure that we will be able to obtain such financing. Our failure to do so could have a material and adverse
effect upon us and our shareholders.

NOTE
5 – RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Transactions
involving Officers, Directors, and Stockholders
In
2007, we issued a 10% promissory note to a family member of our president in exchange for $300,000. The note was due on demand
after May 2008. There were no repayments made during the periods presented. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, the principal amount
owing on the note was $151,833 and $151,833, respectively.
On
March 31, 2008, we issued to this same family member, along with two other Company shareholders, promissory notes totaling $315,000
($105,000 each). Under the terms of these three $105,000 notes, we received total proceeds of $300,000 and agreed to repay the
amount received plus a 5% borrowing fee. The notes were due April 30, 2008, after which they were due on demand, with interest
accruing at 12% per annum. We made no payments towards the outstanding notes during the periods presented. The principal balance
owing on the notes as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, totaled $72,466 and $72,466, respectively, and are presented in liabilities
from discontinued operations.
During
the year ended December 31, 2018, we received cash advances from related parties of $203,380. Additionally, a related party
forgave outstanding payables of $92,000 and related parties paid expenses totaling $241,734 directly to vendors on our
behalf. There was $873,721 and $520,608 of short-term advances due to related parties as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The advances are due on demand and as such included in current liabilities.
We
have agreed to issue options to Iehab Hawatmeh, our president, as compensation for services provided as our chief executive officer.
The terms of this employment agreement require us to grant options to purchase 6,000,000 shares of our stock each year, with an
exercise price equal to the fair market price of our common stock as of the grant date. During the year ended December 31, 2018,
we accrued for 6,000,000 stock options relating to this employee agreement, resulting in 66.0 million and 60.0 million accrued
stock options as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. See
Note 6 – Other Accrued Liabilities
and
Note
13 – Stock Options and Warrants
.
As
of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we owe our president a total of $893,000 and $898,215 in unsecured advances, of which $890,000
and $890,000 were included in liabilities from discontinued operations. Additionally, 66.0 million and 60.0 million accrued stock
options, with an aggregate value at time of grant of $169,496 and $168,896, respectively, were owed as of December 31, 2018 and
2017. The advances and short-term bridge loans were approved by our board of directors under a 5% borrowing fee. The borrowing
fees were waived by our president on these loans.
Additionally,
we owed $0 and $333 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, to our Controller for services rendered.

Stock
option expenses consist of accrued employee stock option expenses. These stock options have been granted but were not issued due
to the limited number of authorized and available shares (see
Note 13 – Stock Options and Warrants
for further discussion).
The
fair market value of the options issued during the year ended December 31, 2018 was $480, using the following assumptions: estimated
seven-year term, estimated volatility of 567%, and a risk-free rate between 2.38%. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we
accrued for 6,000,000 stock options relating to the employee agreement with Mr. Hawatmeh. The fair market value of the options
was $600, using the following assumptions: estimated seven-year term, estimated volatility of 567%, and a risk-free rate of 2.38%.
NOTE
7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
and Claims
Various
vendors, service providers, and others have asserted legal claims in previous years. These creditors generally are not actively
seeking collection of amounts due them, and we have determined that the probability of realizing any loss on these claims is remote
and will seek to compromise and settle at a deep discount any of such claims that are asserted for collection. These amounts are
included in our current liabilities. We have not accrued any liability for claims or judgments that we have determined to be barred
by the applicable statute of limitations, which generally is eight years for judgments in Utah.
Noble
Gate
In
September 2015, we obtained a judgment in the amount of $287,000 against Noble Gate Industrial, a former authorized distributor
of the Playboy-branded energy drink. We believe the judgment is uncollectible and have not undertaken collection efforts in view
of our analysis of the costs of collection as compared to any likely recovery. No gain has been recorded for the periods presented.
Playboy
Enterprises, Inc.
Our
affiliate, Play Beverages, LLC, filed suit against Playboy Enterprises, Inc., in Cook County, Illinois, Circuit Court in
October 2012 asserting numerous claims, including breach of contract and tortious interference. Playboy responded with a counterclaim
of breach of contract and trademark infringement. After proceedings in October 2016, the court awarded a judgment to Playboy of
$6.6 million against Play Beverages and us. The court denied our motion for a new trial and awarded Playboy treble patent infringement
damages and attorney’s fees. We filed a notice of appeal in July 2017 and again in March 2018. Playboy has initiated collection
efforts but has recovered no funds. We have accrued $17,205,599 as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, related to this judgment, which
is included in liabilities from discontinued operations (see
Note 14 – Discontinued Operations
). In September 2018,
the appellate court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court.
Redi
FZE
During
the year ended December 31, 2011, Redi FZE sued us claiming alleged breach of contract, and we counterclaimed against it. On November
2, 2011, the court issued an injunction against Redi FZE prohibiting it from selling and distributing Playboy-branded products
in conjunction with its distribution agreement with us. On August 16, 2012, Redi FZE withdrew the suit, and on October 30, 2012,
we were awarded a default judgment against Redi in the amount of $1,225,155. We have not collected on this judgment and are weighing
the cost of collection against the likelihood of success. No gain or receivable has been recorded in the financial statements
for the periods presented in connection with this case.
Old
Dominion Freight Line
In
December 2009, Old Dominion Freight Line filed suit against us for unpaid freight services in the amount of $30,464 and was awarded
a default judgment of $33,187 in March 2010. The amount due is included in accounts payable as of December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.
RDS
Touring
In
September 2011, RDS Touring and Promotions, Inc. was awarded a default judgment of $118,426 against us. In September 2012, RDS
domesticated the default judgment in the state of Utah and sought to enforce the judgment against us. We have and will continue
to resist the collection efforts by RDS. We had recorded a loss equal to the judgment of $118,426, of which $18,491 was previously
paid leaving $99,935 included in liabilities from discontinued operations as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Esebag
In
July 2010, Jimmy Esebag was awarded a judgment against us for breach of contract. A judgment debtor examination of an affiliate
took place in October 2013, and there have been no further recovery efforts to date. We will continue to resist the collection
efforts from this judgment. We had recorded a loss equal to the judgment of $100,000, of which $40,881 was previously paid leaving
$59,119 included in liabilities from discontinued operations as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
General
Distributors, Inc.
In
February 2012, General Distributors, Inc. (“General”) and was awarded a default judgment of $93,856 against us. In
January 2013, General domesticated the default judgment in the state of Utah and sought to enforce the judgment against us.
We have and will continue to resist the collection efforts by General. We had recorded a loss equal to the judgment of $93,856,
which is included in liabilities from discontinued operations as of December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Advanced
Beauty Solutions
In
connection with prior litigation with Advanced Beauty Solutions (“ABS”), it claimed nonperformance by us and filed
an adversary proceeding in its bankruptcy case in the United States Bankruptcy Court. On March 17, 2009, the bankruptcy court
entered judgment in favor of ABS and against us in the amount of $1,811,667, plus interest. On September 11, 2009, the bankruptcy
court denied our motion to set aside the judgment.
On
September 8, 2010, we executed an Assignment of Copyrights, thereby assigning our Copyright Registration No. TX-6-064-955, Copyright
Registration No. TX-6-064-956, and Copyright to the True Ceramic Pro-Live Ops (TCPS) infomercial and related master tapes (collectively
the “Copyrights”) to ABS, without reservation or exclusion, making ABS the owner of the Copyrights.
Despite
motions, hearings, appeals, and mediation in 2011, both parties were unable to resolve their outstanding issues.
On
March 22, 2012, we entered into a formal forbearance agreement with ABS, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “ABS Forbearance
Agreement”), whereby ABS agreed to take no further judgment enforcement actions in consideration of our payment of $25,000
upon execution, satisfaction of applicable conditions precedent, return of the trademarks and intellectual property previously
conveyed by ABS to us, and our obligation to pay $1,835,000 secured by an encumbrance on all of our assets, subject and subordinate
to the prior lien and encumbrance in favor of YA Global. In addition, we stipulated to an additional judgment for attorney’s
fees incurred in negotiating the ABS Forbearance Agreement and related post-judgment collection efforts. The ABS Forbearance Agreement
also provided that our obligation would be reduced by the greater of the amount of credit granted in the bankruptcy proceedings
for the value of the intellectual property we previously conveyed to ABS and the amount received by ABS from the sale of such
intellectual property to a third party during the term of the ABS Forbearance Agreement, plus the amount of any distribution to
which we are entitled as a creditor of ABS, subject to other limitations.
In
May 2013, ABS sent us a notice of default under the ABS Forbearance Agreement. Although there were some negotiations between us
and ABS following the notice of default, this matter has not been resolved.
Our
appeal of the approximately $1.8 million judgment that had been remanded in the ABS bankruptcy proceedings to conclusively determine
the amount of credit due us for the conveyance of the intellectual property has been dismissed. All litigation and disputes between
ABS and its affiliates, on the one hand, and us and our affiliates, on the other hand, have been dismissed.
We
have assigned to ABS our creditor claim against the estate of ABS, to the extent of the balance due under the ABS Forbearance
Agreement. Any distribution from the ABS estate in excess of the adjusted amounts due under the ABS Forbearance Agreement will
be paid to us.
Because
ABS’s lien is subordinate to liens on all of our assets in favor of Y.A. Global and/or Tekfine, LLC, ABS is unable to presently
take any steps to enforce its judgment. If that changes, we would potentially face collection actions on the judgment, subject
to our offset claims for the intellectual property and creditor claim.
We
had accrued the minimum liability of $90,000, of which $45,000 has been paid leaving $45,000 due, which is included in accrued
liabilities as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. Because the remaining liability is unknown and cannot be reasonably estimated, no
additional amounts have been accrued.
Delinquent
Payroll Taxes, Interest, and Penalties
In
November 2004, the IRS accepted our amended offer in compromise (the “Offer”) to settle delinquent payroll taxes,
interest, and penalties, which requires us to pay $500,000, remain current in our payment of taxes for five years, and forego
claiming any net operating losses for the years 2001 through 2015 or until we pay taxes on future profits in an amount equal to
the taxes of $1,455,767 waived by the Offer. In June 2013, we entered into a partial installment agreement to pay $768,526 in
unpaid 2009 payroll taxes, which requires us to pay the IRS 5% of cash deposits. The monthly payments are to continue until the
account balances are paid in full or until the collection statute of limitation expires on October 6, 2020. There was $424,158
and $367,617 due as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, of which $122,222 and $108,754 is included in liabilities from discontinued
operations.
Employment
Agreements
We
engage Iehab Hawatmeh, our president and chief executive officer, through an employment agreement entered in August 2009 and amended
in September 2017, with a salary in an amount and commencement date to be determined. In July 2017, Mr. Hawatmeh resigned all
positions with us to pursue other business activities, thereby effectively terminating the agreement. However, in September 2017,
we reinstated Mr. Hawatmeh to his previous positions and reinstated his employment agreement. Among other things, the reinstated
employment agreement: (a) grants options to purchase a minimum of 6,000,000 shares of our stock each year, with an exercise price
equal to the market price of our common stock as of the grant date, for the maximum term allowed under our stock option plan;
(b) provides for health insurance coverage, cell phone, car allowance, life insurance, and director and officer liability insurance,
as well as any other bonus approved by our board; and (c) includes additional incentive compensation as follows: (i) a quarterly
bonus equal to 5% of our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for the applicable quarter; (ii) bonuses
equal to 1% of the net purchase price of any acquisitions we complete that are directly generated and arranged by Mr. Hawatmeh;
and (iii) an annual bonus (payable quarterly) equal to 1% of our gross sales of all products, net of returns and allowances.
In
addition to the employment agreement above, we have verbal contracts with our employees that require payment of noncash compensation
in a fixed number of shares. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, we did not grant options to purchase shares of
common stock to employees due to the insufficient common shares available. We recorded expenses totaling $480 and $1,340 during
the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, for employee options relating to the employment contracts of these employees.

NOTE
10 – LEASES
In
an effort to operate more efficiently and focus resources on higher margin areas of our business, on March 5, 2010, we entered
into certain agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) to reduce our costs with Katana Electronics, LLC, a Utah
limited liability company (“Katana”). The Agreements include an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, an Equipment
Lease, and a Sublease Agreement relating to our property. Pursuant to the terms of the Sublease, we agreed to sublease a certain
portion of our premises to Katana, consisting of the warehouse and office space used as of the close of business on March 4, 2010.
The term of the Sublease was for two months with automatic renewal periods of one month each. The base rent under the Sublease
is $8,500 per month. The Sublease contains normal and customary use restrictions, indemnification rights and obligations, default
provisions, and termination rights. Under the Agreements signed, we continue to have rights to operate as a contract manufacturer
in the future in the U.S. and offshore. On July 1, 2011, Katana had assumed the full lease payment, and we agreed to pay Katana
$5,000 per month on a month to month basis for the use of office space and utilities. We had no sublease income for the years
ended December 31, 2018 or 2017. We recorded rent expense of $42,000 and $57,000 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017,
respectively.
NOTE
11- INCOME TAXES
We
did not provide any current or deferred U.S. federal income tax provision or benefit for any of the periods presented because
we have experienced operating losses since inception. When it is more likely than not that a tax asset cannot be realized through
future income the company must allow for this future tax benefit. We provided a full valuation allowance on the net deferred
tax asset, consisting of net operating loss carry forwards, because management has determined that it is more likely than not
that we will not earn income sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets during the carry forward period.
We
have
not taken a tax position that, if challenged, would have
a material effect on the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 applicable under FASB ASC 740. We
did not recognize any adjustment to the liability for uncertain tax position and therefore did not record any adjustment to the
beginning balance of accumulated deficit on the balance sheet. All of our tax returns remain open.
As
of December 31, 2018 and 2017, we had net operating loss carryforwards for tax reporting purposes of approximately $41.5
and $41.2 million. These net operating loss carryforwards, if unused, begin to expire in 2020. Utilization of approximately $1.2
million of the total net operating loss is dependent on the future profitable operation of Racore Network, Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary, under the separate return limitation rules and restrictions on utilizing net operating loss carryforwards after a
change in ownership. In addition, the realization of tax benefits relating to net operating loss carryforwards is limited due
to the settlement related to amounts previously due to the IRS, as discussed in
Note 6 – Other Accrued Liabilities
.
The
provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before
provision for income taxes. The sources and tax effects of the differences for the periods presented are as follows:

of 6,600,000) relating to the employment of our president and consultants. The fair market value of the accrued stock options
aggregated $480, using the following assumptions: seven-year term, volatility of 567%, a risk free rate of 2.38%, and exercise
price of $0.0001.
During
the year ended December 31, 2017, we accrued for 13,400,000 stock options relating to the employment of our president and consultants.
