NOTE 8 - PAYROLL TAXES PAYABLE

In 2009 and 2010, REGS, a subsidiary of the Company, became delinquent for unpaid federal employer and employee payroll taxes, accrued interest and penalties were incurred related to these unpaid payroll taxes.

Two of the officers of REGS also have personal liability exposure for a portion of the taxes if REGS does not pay them.

In May 2013, REGS filed an Offer in Compromise (“OIC”) with the IRS. While the OIC was under review by the IRS, the requirement to pay $25,000 a month under the Installment Plan was suspended. REGS was informed by its legal counsel that the IRS had accepted REGS’ OIC. However by a letter dated March 27, 2014, REGS was notified that the OIC had been rejected. REGS then appealed that rejections decision. However that appeal has been denied. As a result, the Installment Plan is terminated. In June 2014, REGS received notices of intent to levy property or rights to property from the IRS for the amounts owed for the past due payroll taxes, penalty and interest. The IRS has not taken any current action against REGS and REGS continues to be represented by its legal counsel.

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the outstanding balance due to the IRS was $976,200, and $970,500, respectively.

Other than this outstanding payroll tax matter arising in 2009 and 2010, all state and federal taxes have been paid by REGS in a timely manner.
