NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES

 

We account for income taxes under the provisions of FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes.  At the end of each interim period, we make an estimate of our annual expected effective tax rates in both the United States and China. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2016, we recorded tax expense of $20,598 and $41,556, respectively, in connection with an accrual for alternative minimum tax due on taxable income in excess of net operating losses.

 

We maintain a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. The assessment was based on the weight of negative evidence at the balance sheet date, primarily our past operating losses, which cause uncertainty as to whether we will generate sufficient taxable income to utilize the deferred tax assets. We have determined that it is more likely than not that certain future tax benefits may not be realized.  A change in the estimates used to make this determination could require an increase in deferred tax assets if they become realizable.

 

We regularly assess the effects of various factors to determine the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. For example, our future effective tax rate would be affected if earnings were lower than anticipated in tax jurisdictions where we have lower statutory rates and higher than anticipated in tax jurisdictions where we have higher statutory rates, by changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets and liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof.
