NOTE 3- INCOME TAXES

The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of December 31, 2012 the Company does not believe it has any tax positions that would result in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes.

 

As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, The Singing Machine had gross deferred tax assets of approximately $3.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively, against which the Company recorded valuation allowances totaling approximately $3.1 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Valuation allowances are recorded against deferred tax assets because it is more likely than not that the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company’s effective tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate was applied to net income before provision for income taxes primarily because of net operating loss carryforwards that are more than sufficient to offset net income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012.

 

As of December 31, 2012 the Company is subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the tax years ended March 31, 2009 through March 31, 2012.
