Income Taxes |
INCOME TAXES | There is no provision for income taxes, because the Company has incurred operating losses. Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effects of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets as of August 31 are as follows:
|  | For the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |  |  |
Net operating loss carryforwards |  | $ | 7,279,900 |  |  | $ | 6,227,200 |
Imputed interest on Tap Participation Fee |  |  | 10,609,600 |  |  |  | 10,074,200 |
Deferred revenue |  |  | 768,400 |  |  |  | 494,600 |
Impairment Charges |  |  | 2,360,200 |  |  |  | 2,408,800 |
Depreciation and depletion |  |  | 4,695,000 |  |  |  | 4,899,800 |
Other |  |  | 26,700 |  |  |  | 43,600 |
Valuation allowance |  |  | (25,740,700 | ) |  |  | (24,148,200 | )
Net deferred tax asset |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | - |
The Company has not recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets as the Company is unable to reasonably determine if it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will ultimately be realized. Income taxes computed using the federal statutory income tax rate differs from our effective tax rate primarily due to the following for the fiscal years ended August 31:
|  | For the Fiscal Years Ended August 31, |
|  | 2014 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Expected benefit from federal taxes at statutory rate of 34% |  | $ | (105,900 | ) |  | $ | (1,411,200 | ) |  | $ | (5,922,300 | )
State taxes, net of federal benefit |  |  | (10,300 | ) |  |  | (137,000 | ) |  |  | (574,800 | )
Expiration of net operating losses |  |  | 89,400 |  |  |  | 147,400 |  |  |  | 90,000 |
Permanent and other differences |  |  | 4,175,300 |  |  |  | 27,400 |  |  |  | 25,800 |
Change in valuation allowance |  |  | (4,148,500 | ) |  |  | 1,373,400 |  |  |  | 6,381,300 |

At August 31, 2014, the Company has $19.5 million of net operating loss carryforwards available for income tax purposes, which expire between fiscal 2015 and 2029. Utilization of these net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. Net operating loss carryforwards of $239,600, $395,200 and $241,200 expired during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
