Note M – Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the consolidated financial statements. Such differences include the income recognition of a portion of the unearned premium reserve, loss reserve deductibility, accruals not currently deductible relating to stock option expense and certain accrued expenses that are not paid within specified time frames by the Internal Revenue Service, and the deductibility of deferred policy acquisition costs paid. As of May 31, 2014, the Company had operating loss carry forwards of approximately $15.7 million. These carry forwards begin expiring in 2015 and, as a result of the ownership change resulting from the 2001 acquisitions of FSI and Jacobs, the utilization of approximately $6.4 million of the operating loss carry forwards are substantially limited.

 

The Company has fully reserved the $5.3 million tax benefit of the operating loss carry forward, by a valuation allowance of the same amount, because the likelihood of realization of the tax benefit cannot be determined.
