The German GmbH is not exempted from income tax and due to a Germany net income incurred German tax of $4,115 and $360 for December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Organization uses the same accounting methods for tax and financial reporting. Generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States of America provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an entity in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken in its United States, California and Germany organization tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. The organizations tax returns are subject to examination by United States Federal taxing authorities for a period of three years from the date they are filed and a period of four years for California taxing authorities with the German taxing authorities having five years. There was no interest expense or penalties incurred during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
