Allowance for doubtful accounts	$	34,392	$	55,140

At April 30, 2015, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for Federal tax purposes approximating $30,900,000 expiring through 2035. The Company also has net operating loss carryforwards in multiple states approximating $34,400,000 and expiring in varying amounts through 2035. However, the future use of some or all of such carried forward domestic losses may be limited by Sec. 382 of Internal Revenue Code in the event of an ownership change, which may have been incurred as a result of the Company’s financing activities and other transactions among the Company’s shareholders, such as the Hartford and Lakewood asset sales and the Pride and BTX sales.

The Company considers past performance, expected future taxable income and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. The Company’s forecast of expected future taxable income is based over such future periods that it believes can be reasonably estimated. Based on its analysis as of April 30, 2015, the Company increased its valuation allowance by approximately $3,259,000 on its deferred tax assets. Due to the uncertainty of recognizing a tax benefit on loss carryforwards, the Company has provided a valuation allowance of approximately $16,697,000 April 30, 2015.

The tax change in the valuation allowance is listed below:

	Years Ended
	April 30,
	2015		2014
Balance at beginning of the year	$	13,438,654		12,024,836

Charged (reversed) to costs and expenses		(208,988)		1,413,818
Capital loss from sale of Pride		3,467,729		-
Balance at end of the year	$	16,697,395	$	13,438,654

At April 30, 2015, the Company’s net deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company continues to analyze the reliability of its deferred tax assets on a regular basis.

Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires uncertain tax positions to be classified as non-current income tax liabilities unless they are expected to be paid within one year. The Company has concluded that there are no uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. For the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 there was no interest expense relating to unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company had no undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiary for the years ended April 30, 2015 and 2014.

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a U.S. federal consolidated income tax return. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the years April 30, 2012 and thereafter. State income tax returns are generally subject to examination for a period of 3 to 5 years after filing the respective return. The Company is not currently under examination by any taxing authority.
