CCA and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return.
The Company previously adopted the provisions of ASC Subtopic 740-10-25, “Uncertain Tax Positions”. Management believes that there were no unrecognized tax benefits, or tax positions that would result in uncertainty regarding the deductions taken, as of August 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012. ASC Subtopic 740-10-25 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were penalties and related interest of $586 for the fiscal year to date ended August 31, 2013, and $6,661 for penalties and interest for the the fiscal year to date ended August 31, 2012.
As of August 31, 2013, the Company had unrealized gain on its investments of $189,356. This amount was reduced by a deferred tax expense of $69,879, of which a $20,616 expense was recorded in prior fiscal years. The deferred tax expense for the nine months ended August 31, 2013 has been recorded as part of the deferred tax asset, and offset against the unrealized gains on marketable securities reported on the consolidated balance sheet. The charitable contributions portion of the deferred tax asset has $327,143 that has been reclassified as a long-term asset, based on an estimate of the amount that will be realizable in periods greater than twelve months from August 31, 2013.

At August 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively, the Company had temporary differences arising from the following:
