NOTE 8

Income Taxes

At February 28, 2015, the Corporation’s gross deferred tax assets of approximately $50 million consist of approximately $35 million in federal net operating loss carryforwards and tax credit carryforwards, $8 million in state net operating loss carryforwards, $7 million resulting from temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and $5 million in gross deferred tax assets pertaining to discontinued operations. The federal net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards have a life expectancy of between sixteen and twenty years. The state net operating loss carryforwards have a life expectancy, depending on the state where a loss was incurred, between five and twenty years. The Corporation has recorded a full valuation allowance against this asset. If the Corporation, after considering future negative and positive evidence regarding the realization of deferred tax assets, determines that a lesser valuation allowance is warranted, it would record a reduction to income tax expense and the valuation allowance in the period of determination.
