INCOME TAXES

The Company has experienced losses since inception. As a result, it has incurred no income tax. The Internal Revenue Code allows net operating losses (NOL's) to be carried forward and applied against future profits for a period of twenty years; The Mexican equivalent of the Internal Revenue Code allows NOL's to be carried forward for ten years. The total of these NOL's at May 31, 2012 was $3,097,471 in Mexico and $21,453,158 in the U.S. The potential benefit of these NOL's has been recognized on the books of the Company, but it has been offset by valuation allowances.

Under provisions of pronouncements of the FASB, recognition of deferred tax assets is permitted unless it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. The Company has recorded noncurrent deferred tax assets as presented below. These valuation allowance increased during 2012 by $749,929 in the U.S., and by $164,793 in Mexico, the result of adding the potential benefit losses of the year ended May 31, 2012.
