The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, and recognizes deferred income taxes based on the expected future tax consequences of differences between the financial statement basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, calculated using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be reflected in the tax return. The Company evaluates the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at period end based upon its three year cumulative income and its projections of future income, and records a valuation allowance against any net deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that they will not be realized.

 

The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ending March 31, 2010 through 2012 and by various state taxing authorities for the years ending March 31, 2010 through 2012.  The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the tax year ended March 31, 2011.  Management does not believe that the examination will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2013, the Company received an outstanding refund from the Massachusetts Department of Revenue for tax years ending March 31, 2006 through 2008 related to its sales apportionment methodology.  The Company received proceeds of approximately $1,500,000 related to this settlement which had been recorded as a receivable at March 31, 2013.
