Due to uncertainties surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of its net favorable tax attributes in future tax returns; to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets may not be realized, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at July 31, 2013 and 2012.
 
At July 31, 2013, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $28 million which expire on various dates through 2033. As a Puerto Rico corporation not doing business in the United States, CSPR is subject to Puerto Rico income taxes but is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes. CSPR has net operating loss carry-forwards totaling approximately $500,000 available to offset future taxable income of CSPR expiring at various dates through 2022.
 
Approximately $450,000 of CSPR’s net operating loss carry-forwards were generated in its assembly of telecommunication equipment business which is subject to a reduced income tax rate pursuant to an exemption granted under the tax code of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. Such NOL is limited in availability to offset future taxable income of CSPR’s assembly operations.
 
Tax periods for all years after fiscal 2009 remain open to examination by the federal and state taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
