Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES The Company has adopted FASB ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant. For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate U.S. unused net operating losses $28,256,404 which expire through 2029, subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The deferred tax asset related to the carry forward is $9,607,177. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, because in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate UK unused net operating losses $4,364,843, with no expiration. The deferred tax asset related to the carry-forward is approximately $1,823,000. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the benefits, because in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized. Income tax expense for 2009 represents income taxes on our Norwegian subsidiary. Components of deferred tax assets as of October 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:
Non-Current |  | 2010 |  |  | 2009 |

Valuation allowance |  |  | (9,607,177 | ) |  |  | (17,736,000 | )

The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10-25 (Previously known as: Financial Accounting Standards Board interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes). As a result of the implementation of FASB ASC 740-10-25, the Company recognized no adjustment for unrecognized tax provisions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense. As of October 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has not recorded any provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. By statute, tax years 2008 through 2010 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
