INCOME TAXES | 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 February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016 . 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. The deferred compensation, charitable contributions and the loss carry forward portion of the deferred tax asset has $121,137 , $93,116 and $8,200,805 , respectively, 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 February 28, 2017 . The deferred compensation amount is from the issuance of stock options (see Note 12 - Stock Based Compensation), and will be realized in future years if the options are exercised. At February 28, 2017 and November 30, 2016 , respectively, the Company had temporary differences arising from the following: February 28, 2017 Classified As Type Amount Deferred Tax Short-Term Long-Term Depreciation $ (353,530 ) $ (128,862 ) $ — $ (128,862 ) Reserve for bad debts 5,870 2,140 2,140 — Reserve for returns 683,463 249,122 249,122 — Accrued returns 188,033 68,538 68,538 — Reserve for obsolete inventory 357,539 130,323 130,323 — Vacation accrual 20,893 7,615 7,615 — Alternative minimum tax carry forward 31,000 31,000 Deferred compensation 332,337 121,137 121,137 Bonus obligation unpaid 351,676 128,186 128,186 — Restructuring costs 595,000 216,878 216,878 — Charitable contributions 584,558 213,071 119,955 93,116 Section 263A costs 72,030 26,255 26,255 — Loss carry forward 25,789,734 9,400,359 1,199,554 8,200,805 Net deferred tax asset $ 10,465,762 $ 2,148,566 $ 8,317,196 November 30, 2016 Classified As Type Amount Deferred Tax Short-Term Long-Term Depreciation $ (349,763 ) $ (127,489 ) $ — $ (127,489 ) Reserve for bad debts 15,801 5,759 5,759 — Reserve for returns 941,228 343,078 343,078 — Accrued Returns 194,873 71,031 71,031 — Reserve for obsolete inventory 500,156 182,307 182,307 — Vacation accrual 29,528 10,763 10,763 — Alternative minimum tax carry forward 20,000 20,000 Deferred compensation 304,945 111,153 111,153 Bonus obligation unpaid 304,355 110,937 110,937 — Restructuring costs 925,000 337,163 337,163 — Charitable contributions 584,558 213,071 96,249 116,822 Section 263A costs 79,539 28,992 28,992 — Loss carry forward 25,398,347 9,257,698 962,485 8,295,213 Net deferred tax asset $ 10,564,463 $ 2,148,764 $ 8,415,699 Income tax expense (benefit) is made up of the following components: Three Months Ended February 29, 2016 February 29, 2016 Continuing Operations Current tax - Federal $ 11,000 $ — Current tax - State & Local 2,939 2,367 Deferred tax 98,701 129,855 Tax - Continuing Operations $ 112,640 $ 132,222 Discontinued Operations Current tax - Federal — — Current tax - State & Local — — Deferred tax — (3,525 ) Tax - Discontinued Operations $ — $ (3,525 ) Prepaid and refundable income taxes are made up of the following components: Prepaid and refundable income taxes Federal State & Total February 28, 2017 $ — $ 41,216 $ 41,216 November 30, 2016 $ — $ 44,154 $ 44,154 Income tax payable is made up of the following components: Income Taxes Payable Federal State & Total February 28, 2017 — — — November 30, 2016 20,000 — 20,000 A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes computed at the statutory rate to the effective rate for the three months ended February 28, 2017 , and February 29, 2016 is as follows: Three Months Ended Three Months Ended February 28, 2017 February 29, 2016 Amount Percent of Pretax Income Amount Percent of Pretax Income Continuing Operations Provision for income taxes at federal statutory rate $ 101,793 34.00 % $ 115,995 34.00 % Changes in provision for income taxes resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit 7,335 2.45 % 9,894 2.90 % Non-deductible expenses and other adjustments 3,512 1.17 % 6,333 1.86 % Provision for income taxes at effective rate 112,640 37.62 % 132,222 38.76 % Discontinued Operations Benefit from income taxes at federal statutory rate $ — — % $ (3,093 ) 34.00 % Changes in benefit from income taxes resulting from: State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit — — % (264 ) 2.90 % Non-deductible expenses and other adjustments — — % (168 ) 1.86 % Benefit from income taxes at effective rate for Discontinued Operations $ — — % $ (3,525 ) 38.76 % Total provision for income taxes at effective rate $ 112,640 37.62 % $ 128,697 38.76 % |
