Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	Note 6. Income Taxes Avalon recorded a net loss of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2015 compared with a net loss of $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2014. Avalon recorded a state income tax provision in both the first quarter of 2015 and 2014, which was related entirely to the waste management and brokerage operations. Excluding the effect of this state tax provision, Avalon’s overall effective tax rate was 0% in the first quarter of 2015 and 2014. The overall effective tax rate is different than statutory rates primarily due to a change in the valuation allowance. Avalon’s income tax benefit on the loss before taxes was offset by an increase in the valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets relating to certain federal and state loss carryforwards will not be realized. Avalon continues to maintain a valuation allowance against the majority of its deferred tax amounts until it is evident that the deferred tax asset will be utilized in the future.
