The Company has recorded a valuation allowance of 100% of its net deferred tax assets as of February 28, 2014 and 2013, as realization of the deferred tax asset is not considered more likely than not. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets management considered whether future taxable income will be sufficient during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible or before NOLs expire. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used to determine taxable income for income tax reporting purposes. The following table presents the significant components of the non-current deferred tax assets (liabilities) of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries related to its investments in Eldorado and Mesquite as of February 28, 2014 and 2013.
