As of September 30, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $21,022,000 (2012: $20,196,000) available to offset future taxable income. The carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2027 unless utilized in earlier years. The Company has not yet filed any tax returns in France as they are not yet due.
| The Company evaluates its valuation allowance requirements based on projected future operations. When circumstances change and this causes a change in management’s judgment about the recoverability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is reflected in current income. Because management of the Company does not currently believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will receive the benefit of these assets, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset has been established at both September 30, 2013 and 2012.
| Uncertain Tax Positions
| The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax returns are subject to tax examinations by U.S. federal and state tax authorities, or examinations by foreign tax authorities until respective statute of limitation. The Company is subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for all taxation years commencing on or after 2005.
