NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to income taxes by entity on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled.

Linkwell Corp and Linkwell Tech were incorporated in the U.S. and have net operating losses (NOL) for income tax purposes.  Linkwell Corp and Linkwell Tech had net operating loss carry forwards for income taxes of approximately $2,809,000 at September 30, 2011, which may be available to reduce future years’ taxable income as NOL’s can be carried forward up to 20 years from the year the loss is incurred. Under IRC Section 382, certain of these loss carry-forward amounts may be limited due to the more than 50% change in ownership which took place during 2004. The Company’s management believes that the realization of benefits from these losses are uncertain due to the Company’s limited operating history and continuing losses. Accordingly, a 100% valuation allowance has been provided on the deferred tax asset of approximately $1,066,000.

Likang Disinfectant and Likang Biological are governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC concerning privately-run enterprises, which are generally subject to tax at a statutory rate of 25% on income reported in the statutory financial statements after appropriate tax adjustments.  Likang Disinfectant is subject to a preferential income tax rate of 12.5% for 2011 and 2010; Likang Biological is subject to an income tax rate of 25% since 2010.
