NOTE 6: TAXES ON INCOME 

 

Net deferred tax assets totaled $21.9 million at March 31, 2014 and $24.9 million at December 31, 2013.  Net deferred tax assets are included in other assets and no valuation allowance is recorded. 

 

We are in a cumulative pretax loss position for the trailing three-year period ended March 31, 2014.  Under current accounting guidance, this represents significant negative evidence in the determination of the need for a valuation allowance.  Included in the three-year pretax loss position is $101.0 million related to the nonrecurring sale of nonperforming assets and potential problem loans that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2011As of March 31, 2014,  $4.5 million of the pretax loss remains to be offset by pretax income generated in future periods.  We expect to fully utilize the remaining federal net operating loss carryforward during 2014.

 

We monitor our deferred tax assets for realizability and conducted an interim analysis to assess the need for a valuation allowance at March 31, 2014.  As part of this analysis management considered negative evidence associated with our trailing cumulative loss position against positive evidence associated with the taxable income generated in the first three months of 2014,  a  long history of taxable income, and projected pre-tax income in future years.  While realization of the deferred tax benefit is not assured, it is management’s judgment, after review of all available evidence and based on the weight of such evidence, that a valuation allowance is not required as realization of these benefits meets the “more likely than not” standard under generally accepted accounting principles 

 

We or one of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions.  We are no longer subject to U.S. federal or state tax examinations for years before 2010.
