The corporation has reported positive financial and taxable incomes since inception. The company is located at 100 Summer Way, Boca Raton, Florida 33431. The company's employer identification number is 98-7654321, and corporation uses a calendar year for tax purposes. The date of incorporation was February 9, 2010.

While the corporation is a 'closely-held C corporation,' it does not engage in activities to which the at-risk or passive activity loss limitations apply. The corporation files its tax return on the accrual method. Inventory has been consistently valued at Cost under the FIFO method using the full absorption procedure. Inventory capitalization rules of Internal Revenue Code Section 263A do not apply due to the 'small business exception' (average annual gross receipts for the three preceding taxable years do not exceed $25 million). Further, the business interest deduction does not apply either as the corporation meets the small business exception for this rule as well. The accounting records are computerized.
