Note 6. Income taxes

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers a multitude of factors in assessing the utilization of its deferred tax assets including the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and other assessments, which may have an impact on financial results. The Company had determined that a full valuation allowance was warranted at October 31, 2014. The Company reassessed its previous determination regarding its valuation allowance and although the Company has positive operating trends, it was determined that a full valuation allowance was still warranted at April 30, 2015. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable could be adjusted in future periods and such adjustments may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company’s effective tax rate for continuing operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2015 and 2014 was 0.0%. The effective income tax rate approximates the combined federal and state, net of federal benefit, statutory income tax rate and may be impacted by increases or decreases in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
