NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

The Company utilizes the expected annual effective tax rate in determining its income tax provisions for interim periods.  The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment. With few exceptions, the Company and its subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before 2007.

As of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013, the Company evaluated its position with regard to state, federal and foreign tax matters and concluded that the Company did not have an unrecognized tax benefit.  As of April 30, 2013, the Company re-evaluated its position with regard to current state, federal and foreign tax matters and has determined that there have been no changes in tax position since the fiscal year ended January 31, 2013.
