NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES


At March 31, 2013, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards, (NOL’s) of approximately $7,800,000, which are due to expire through fiscal 2032. These NOLs may be used to offset future taxable income through their respective expiration dates and thereby reduce or eliminate our federal and state income taxes otherwise payable. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Ultimate utilization of such NOL’s and credits is dependent upon the Company’s ability to generate taxable income in future periods and may be significantly curtailed if a significant change in ownership occurs.


Due to the uncertainty related to future taxable income, the Company provides a 100% valuation allowance for the deferred tax benefit resulting from the NOL’s and depreciation and amortization.


Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows as of March 31, 2013 and 2012:
