INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes in accordance with Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes ,  which requires that we recognize a current tax liability or asset for current taxes payable or refundable and a deferred tax liability or asset for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences and carry forwards to the extent they are realizable.  We believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized through future taxable income and tax effects of temporary differences between book income and taxable income.  Accordingly, we have not established a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets.  Codification Topic 740-10 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold that a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements.  In the ordinary course of business, there are transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain.  In addition, we are subject to periodic audits and examinations by the IRS and other taxing authorities.  We have evaluated the positions taken on our filed tax returns.  We have concluded that no uncertain tax positions exist as of September 30, 2011.  Although we believe that our estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from these estimates.
