The Company maintains deposits in federally insured depository institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. Additionally, the Company has established guidelines regarding approved investments and maturities of investments, which are designed to maintain safety and liquidity.</p></div> | |

Operating Loss Carryforwards Limitations On Use

Specifically, this limitation may arise in the event of an “ownership change,” which is defined by Section 382 of the Code as a cumulative change in ownership of the Company of more than 50% within a three-year period. If the Company undergoes one or more ownership changes in connection with any future transactions in its stock, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards to offset federal taxable income, if any, could potentially result in increased future tax liability to the Company. An ownership change under Section 382 of the Code occurred during the year ended December 31, 2015 in connection with the Company’s initial public offering. However, the Company is able to utilize all of its net operating losses. The Company conducted a further assessment of ownership changes and determined that, through December 31, 2017, there have not been any additional ownership changes in accordance with Section 382 of the Code. | |
