INCOME TAXES
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 November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013. 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 $54 for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014, and $125 for penalties and interest for the fiscal year to date ended November 30, 2013. Penalties are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.
As of November 30, 2014, the Company had unrealized gain on its investments of $0, as all investments were sold during fiscal 2014.
The charitable contributions and net operating loss portion of the deferred tax asset has $273,434 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 November 30, 2014.
At November 30, 2014 and November 30, 2013, respectively, the Company had temporary differences arising from the following:
