Income Taxes
NOTE 8. Income Taxes

Income taxes for the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 was computed using the effective tax rate estimated to be applicable for the full fiscal year, which is subject to ongoing review and evaluation by management.

At December 31, 2012, the Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards, or NOLs, of approximately $2,583, which are due to expire in fiscal 2030. These NOLs may be used to offset future taxable income through their respective expiration dates and thereby reduce or eliminate our federal income taxes otherwise payable. A valuation allowance of $265 was established in a prior year relating to other items, as it is management’s belief that it is more likely than not that a portion of this deferred asset is not realizable.

At December 31, 2012, the current deferred tax assets are $6,339, and non-current deferred tax assets are $5,238. If the Company does not generate adequate taxable earnings, some or all of our deferred tax assets may not be realized. Additionally, changes to the federal and state income tax laws also could impact our ability to use the NOLs. In such cases, the Company may need to revise the valuation allowance established related to deferred tax assets for federal and state purposes.

The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), imposes significant limitations on the utilization of NOLs in the event of an “ownership change” as defined under section 382 of the Code (the “Section 382 Limitation”). The Section 382 Limitation is an annual limitation on the amount of pre-ownership NOLs that a corporation may use to offset its post-ownership change income. The Section 382 Limitation is calculated by multiplying the value of a corporation’s stock immediately before an ownership change by the long-term tax-exempt rate (as published by the Internal Revenue Service). Generally, an ownership change occurs with respect to a corporation if the aggregate increase in the percentage of stock ownership by value of that corporation by one or more 5% shareholders (including specified groups of shareholders who, in the aggregate, own at least 5% of that corporation’s stock) exceeds 50 percentage points over a three-year testing period. The Company believes that it has not gone through an ownership change over the most recent three-year testing period that would cause the Company’s NOLs to be subject to the Section 382 Limitation. However, given the Company’s current ownership structure, the creation of one or more new 5% shareholders could result in the Company’s NOLs being subject to the Section 382 Limitation.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions.
