changes in statutory tax rates; changes in our valuation allowance; our ability to utilize net operating losses and any non-deductible items related to acquisitions or other nonrecurring charges.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance, when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;

In the event interest or penalties had been accrued, our policy is to include these amounts related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2013, we had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. We file tax returns with the IRS and in various states in which the statute of limitations extend to the tax year ended September 30, 2007 in certain jurisdictions.  As of June 30, 2013, we were not engaged in a federal audit.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: left; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; font-size: 10pt;">As of June 30, 2013, we had no unrecognized tax benefits.</div><div><br /></div></div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for income taxes.
