During 2006, the Exchange performed a study regarding available Research and Development (“R&D”) tax credits relating to their internally development software. Based upon this study, there are $5,037,000 of R&D credits available to the Exchange that were generated between 1998 and 2006. As of December 31, 2006, the Exchange had net deferred tax assets relating to research and development credits of $4,104,000. These credits expire in 2018 through 2026. Additionally, alternative minimum tax credits are available of approximately $549,000 for 2006 and 2005. A valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The Exchange has approximately $7,064,000, expiring through 2024, of net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income. These net operating losses are subject to an annual limitation under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 of approximately $2,100,000. The Exchange files a consolidated federal income tax return. It is the Exchange’s policy to calculate all taxes on a separate company basis. Any tax calculated at the subsidiary level is paid to the parent for subsequent payment to the federal government. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
