8. Income Taxes

It was determined in the fourth quarter of 2011 that due to the Internal Revenue Code’s Section 382 limitations on our ability to utilize the net operating losses carry forwards of approximately $9.8 million generated by American Access Technologies, Inc., prior to the Company’s merger in 2007 and subsequent net operating losses and foreign tax credit carry forwards, a full valuation allowance was warranted in the fourth quarter of 2011. As such, the tax provision on U.S. income generated in 2014 and 2013 is offset by a reduction of the valuation allowance provided in 2011. The tax provision for 2014 and 2013 reflects a 34% U.S. tax rate related to the equity in foreign joint ventures’ operations, net of dividends received for an effective rate of 0% and 13% because of the mix of US income or loss, foreign equity income and dividends. The disposition of AAT’s assets and liabilities is not expected to affect the remaining operating loss carry forwards.
