INCOME TAXES (restated)
 
The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., various state and foreign jurisdictions.  We continue to record a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets as it is not more likely than not that we will realize a benefit from these assets in a future period.  In future periods, tax benefits and related deferred tax assets will be recognized when management concludes realization of such amounts is to be more likely than not.
 
A net benefit of ($406,639) was recorded to the income tax provision for the three month period ending September 30, 2013 resulting in an effective tax rate of 122.98% for the period.  The income tax benefit relates primarily to our foreign operations partially offset by state minimum taxes as all of our other USA tax benefits are reduced by a full valuation allowance.  During the three month period ending September 30, 2013, the UK government reduced the corporate enacted tax rate resulting in a net tax benefit of ($379,236) being recorded in the quarter on existing foreign deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Our income tax expense and effective tax rate were $8,539 and 1.09%, respectively for the same period in 2012.  The income tax provision relates primarily to state minimum taxes as all of our other USA tax benefits are reduced by a full valuation allowance.
