7.             Income Taxes  


At September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $10,755,000 in federal net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future taxable income. These carryforwards begin to expire in the Company’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2025. The Company also has a federal alternative minimum tax credit carryforward of $235,000 which does not expire. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. No jurisdictions are currently under examination. No liability was recorded for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions at September 30, 2013 or March 31, 2013.  


Management evaluates the Company’s deferred tax assets on a regular basis to determine if a valuation allowance should be established based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more-likely-than-not” standard. In making such judgments, management must weigh both positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. A cumulative loss in recent periods is significant negative evidence in considering whether deferred tax assets are realizable, and also limits projections of future taxable income to that which can be estimated over a reasonable amount of time. Management’s ability to accurately forecast should be evaluated against recent results, and the reliability of such forecasting inherently decreases as the duration of such forecasting increases.  


After considering evidence including historical results, industry and general economic trends, and forecasts on future operating results, management has continued to fully reserve for the Company’s net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2013. The Company’s valuation allowance at September 30, 2013 includes $422,000 for net operating loss carryforwards in certain states where management is not currently anticipating any income being generated. 


For federal purposes, tax years 2011-2013 remain open to examination. Prior to 2011, the statute of limitations remains open for three years subsequent to the utilization of the net operating losses that were generated in those years. For state purposes, the statute of limitations remains open in a similar manner. Management does not anticipate any significant increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
