| Note 17 - Tax |
As of June 30, 2011, our deferred tax asset primarily related to our net operating losses. A 100% valuation allowance has been established using an effective tax rate of 34% due to the uncertainty of the utilization of the operating losses in future periods. As a result, the deferred tax asset was reduced to zero and no income tax benefit was recorded. The net operating loss carryforward will begin to expire in 2030.
Section 382 of the Internal Code allows post-change corporations to use pre-change net operating losses, but limit the amount of losses that may be used annually to a percentage of the entity value of the corporation at the date of the ownership change. The applicable percentage is the federal long-term tax-exempt rate for the month during which the change in ownership occurs.
