Note 12 – Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, which provides for an asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes.  Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on anticipated future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax laws, attributed to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for income tax purposes.

We currently estimate that our effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2011 will be approximately 40%.  Losses incurred during the period from April 9 (inception) to June 30, 2011 as well as additional losses incurred during the remainder of 2011 could be used to offset future tax liabilities.  Accounting standards require the consideration of a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if it is “more likely than not” that some component or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.  As of June 30, 2011, net deferred tax assets were $-0- after a 100% valuation allowance applied to net deferred tax assets of approximately $454,000.  We have not provided a valuation allowance against our tax liability.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company recognized a deferred tax liability of $2,360,800 related to income taxes on a net contingent consideration receivable resulting from the sale of assets to Party Gaming during 2009.

In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined there are no significant uncertain tax positions as of any date on or before June 30, 2011.
