Income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to an amount for which realization is more likely than not.
 
The Company adopted FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), on December 1, 2007. FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing tax returns to determine whether the tax positions have met a “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits related to tax positions not deemed to meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold are not permitted to be recognized in the financial statements. Upon adoption of FIN 48, the Company has elected an accounting policy that continues to classify accrued interest and penalties related to liabilities for income taxes in income tax expense.

Income taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to an amount for which realization is more likely than not.
 
The Company has loss carry forwards and various amounts that can be claimed against taxable income that have already been recorded as expenses in the financial statements. With the application of push-down accounting, any utilization of these pre-acquisition tax losses or unclaimed deductions is first applied to reduce the goodwill and other intangibles pushed-down from the acquisition. Once these balances were eliminated, the utilization of any remaining losses and other unclaimed deductions are recorded as a reduction in income tax expense.
 
The settlement of any contingencies that existed prior to the Vector Capital acquisition are first applied against goodwill and then against acquired intangibles on a pro-rata basis, until such time as the carrying value of these assets is reduced to $nil, and thereafter included as a component of Corel’s income tax provision.
