NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and for income tax purposes. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred income tax assets and a valuation allowance is provided, as necessary. In assessing this valuation allowance, the Company reviews historical and future expected operating results and other factors, including its recent cumulative earnings experience, expectations of future taxable income by taxing jurisdiction and the carryforward periods available for tax reporting purposes, to determine whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are realizable.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. states and Puerto Rico, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay and New Zealand. Income tax returns filed for fiscal year 2011 and earlier are not subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. Certain income tax returns for fiscal years 2012 through 2016 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. However, to the extent allowed by law, the tax authorities may have the right to examine prior periods in which net operating losses or tax credits were generated and carried forward, and to make adjustments up to the net operating loss or tax credit carryforward amount. Income tax returns for fiscal years 2013 through 2016 remain open to examination by tax authorities in Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, New Zealand, and Puerto Rico.
