NOTE 10. INCOME TAXES


At March 31, 2014, we had recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in the United States, due to uncertainties related to our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets, primarily consisting of certain net operating losses carried forward. The valuation allowance is based upon management’s estimates of taxable income by jurisdiction and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable.


As of December 31, 2013, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $72.1 million for federal, state and local income tax purposes. However, due to changes in our capital structure, approximately $14.5 million of this amount is available after the application of Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 382 limitations. If not utilized, these carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2021 for federal and have begun to expire for state and local purposes. For a full discussion of the estimated restrictions on our utilization of our net operating loss carry-forwards, see Note 14, Income Taxes, of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
