NOTE 14 – INCOME TAXES 

 

The Company maintained a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, based on its estimate of future reversal and utilization. When determining the amount of deferred tax assets that are more-likely-than-not to be realized, and therefore recorded as a benefit, the Company conducts a regular assessment of all available information.  This information includes, but is not limited to, taxable income in prior periods, projected future income and projected future reversals of deferred tax items. Based on these criteria, the Company determined that it was necessary to establish a full valuation allowance against the entire net deferred tax asset.

 

At year-end 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $25,941, which expire at various dates from 2024 to 2032, and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $60, which do not expireAs a result of the change in stock ownership associated with the stock offering completed in August 2012, within the guidelines of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, the Company incurred an ownership change. As a result, its ability to utilize carryforwards that arose before the stock offering closed is limited to $163 per year.  Due to this limitation, management determined it is more likely than not that $20,342 of net operating loss carryforwards will expire unutilized and, as required by accounting standards, reduced deferred tax assets and the valuation allowance by $6,916 to reflect this lost realizability as of December 31, 2012.  Additional adjustments to deferred tax assets and valuation allowance due to the annual limitation will be made at year-end, if necessary, but are expected to have zero income statement impact.    

 

Federal income tax laws provided additional deductions, totaling $2,250, for thrift bad debt reserves established before 1988. Accounting standards do not require a deferred tax liability to be recorded on this amount, which otherwise would total $765 at year-end 2012.  However, if CFBank were wholly or partially liquidated or otherwise ceases to be a bank, or if tax laws were to change, this amount would have to be recaptured and a tax liability recorded.  Additionally, any distributions in excess of CFBank’s current or accumulated earnings and profits would reduce amounts allocated to its bad debt reserve and create a tax liability for CFBank. The amount of additional taxable income created by such a distribution is an amount that, when reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the distribution. Thus, if CFBank makes a distribution that reduces the amount allocated to its bad debt reserve, then approximately one and one-half times the amount used would be includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 34% corporate income tax rate. CFBank does not intend to make distributions that would result in a recapture of any portion of its bad debt reserve.

 

At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change within the next twelve months.  

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and is no longer subject to federal examination for years prior to 2010.
