INCOME TAXES |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES At the end of each interim period, we make an estimate of our annual U.S. and China expected effective tax rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recorded zero income tax expense. The lack of a tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily the result of recording a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance must be established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. The assessment was based on the weight of negative evidence at the balance sheet date, our recent operating losses and unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect future operations and profit levels. We have determined that it is more likely than not that certain future tax benefits may not be realized. A change in the estimates used to make this determination could require an increase in deferred tax assets if they become realizable. At June 30, 2014, our federal net operating loss carry-forward was approximately $6.0 million. If not utilized, the federal net operating loss carry-forward will begin to expire in 2025. Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, provides for a limitation on the annual use of net operating loss carryforwards following certain ownership changes that could limit our ability to utilize these carryforwards on a yearly basis due to an ownership change in connection with the acquisition of Ranor in 2006. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state jurisdictions. Our foreign subsidiary files separate income tax returns in the foreign jurisdiction in which it is located. Tax years 2011 and forward remain open for examination. We recognize interest and penalties accrued related to income tax liabilities in selling, general and administrative expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
