The Company files separate tax returns in the United States and in Macau, China.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 the Company released the remaining valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets. The release of the valuation allowance was determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, which require an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when determining whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets are recoverable. The analysis performed to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets included an evaluation of the pattern and timing of the reversals of temporary differences and the length of carryback and carryforward periods available under the applicable federal and state laws; and the amount and timing of future taxable income. As of March 31, 2016 the analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets recorded will be realized. As a result, the remaining approximately $0.7 million of the valuation allowance was released during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016.

 

At March 31, 2017, the Company has federal tax net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of approximately $1.4 million that begin to expire in the year 2029. The net operating loss carryforward is subject to an IRS Section 382 limitation. There will be approximately $160,000 per year available to use in beginning Fiscal 2018. In addition, the Company has state tax net operating loss carryforwards in the amount of approximately $5.6 million that will begin to expire beginning in 2025.

 

The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2014.
