9. Income Taxes | 9. INCOME TAXES
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes on income arising in, or derived from, the tax jurisdictions in which they operate. The Company is current with all its federal and stated tax filings, and no periods have been subjected to IRS examination.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are comprised entirely of net operating loss carry-forwards.
For the years ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the reconciliation between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate as a percentage is as follows:
At June 30, 2011, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $6,128,000 available to reduce future taxable income. The net operating loss carry forwards expire in the years ending June 30 as follows:
When more than a 50% change in ownership occurs, over a three-year period, as defined, the Tax Reform Act of 1986 limits the utilization of net operating loss (NOL) carry forwards in the years following the change in ownership. Therefore, the Company's utilization of its NOL carry forwards may be partially reduced as a result of changes in stock ownership. No determination has been made as of June 30, 2011, as to what implications, if any, there will be in the net operating loss carry forwards of the Company. In addition, the Company has a limited history of earnings, and there is no guarantee of future earnings to offset the net operating loss carry forwards. The deferred tax asset resulting from the net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2,084,000 is offset by a valuation allowance due to the uncertainty of the realization of the net operating loss carry forwards. The net increase in the valuation allowance was approximately $83,000 from June 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011, and primarily results from the operating loss for the year ended June 30, 2011. |
