Income Taxes
At February 1, 2014, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of approximately $304 million, and state NOLs of approximately $140 million which are available to offset future taxable income.  The Company's federal NOLs expire in varying amounts each year from 2023 through 2033 in accordance with applicable federal tax regulations and the timing of when the NOLs were incurred.  In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, the Company had a change in ownership (as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code) as a result of the issuance of common stock coupled with the redemption of all the Series B Preferred Stock held by GE Equity.  Sections 382 and 383 limit the annual utilization of certain tax attributes, including NOL carryforwards, incurred prior to a change in ownership. The limitations imposed by Sections 382 and 383 are not expected to impair the Company's ability to fully realize its NOLs; however, the annual usage of NOLs incurred prior to the change in ownership will be limited.  The Company currently has recorded a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets.  The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets and related limitations depend on the ability of the Company to generate sufficient taxable income in the future, as well as the timing of such income.
For the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the income tax provision included a non-cash tax charge of approximately $196,000 and $290,000, respectively, relating to changes in our long-term deferred tax liability related to the tax amortization of the Company's indefinite-lived intangible FCC license asset that is not available to offset existing deferred tax assets in determining changes to our income tax valuation allowance. For the first six-months of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, the income tax provision included a non-cash charge of approximately $393,000 and $580,000, respectively. The Company expects the continued tax amortization of its indefinite-lived intangible asset and resulting book versus tax asset carrying value difference to result in approximately $394,000 of additional non-cash income tax expense over the remainder of fiscal 2014.
