NOTE G — INCOME TAXES
 
Management expects to realize the $61.5 million in net deferred tax assets well in advance of the statutory carryforward period. At March 31, 2015, approximately $36 million of deferred tax assets relate to federal net operating losses which will expire in annual installments beginning in 2029 through 2032. Additionally, over $7 million of the deferred tax assets relate to state net operating losses which will expire in annual installments beginning in 2028 through 2034. Tax credit carryforwards at March 31, 2015 include federal alternative minimum tax credits totaling over $2 million which have an unlimited carryforward period. Remaining deferred tax assets are not related to net operating losses or credits and therefore, have no expiration date.
 
A valuation allowance could be required in future periods based on the assessment of positive and negative evidence. Management’s conclusion at March 31, 2015 that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset of $61.5 million will be realized is based upon estimates of future taxable income that are supported by internal projections which consider historical performance, various internal estimates and assumptions, as well as certain external data, all of which management believes to be reasonable although inherently subject to judgment. If actual results differ significantly from the current estimates of future taxable income, even if caused by adverse macro-economic conditions, a valuation allowance may need to be recorded for some or all of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Such an increase to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
