Fair market value of income tax losses Sample Clauses

Fair market value of income tax losses. It is estimated that Optimal’s operating tax losses as at December 31, 2009 will approximate $100M. The final accounting treatment of tax matters as at December 31, 2009 has not been finalized yet with the Company’s auditors. Management has informed us that it is unlikely that significant taxable income will be earned in the future in territories other than Hong Kong, where the tax rate is 16.5%. Significant losses relate to the former payment business segment ($30M in Canada and $13M in the US). There are no employees left with Optimal from this sector. We understand that upon a change of control, there are strict limitations to the use of US tax losses. According to Management, tax laws in Hong Kong allow the use of tax losses irrespective of a change of control. In estimating a value for the tax losses, we considered the prevailing rule of thumb in Canada of approximately CA$0.03 to CA$0.05 per dollar of the tax attribute. This rule of thumb assumes that the tax rate approximates 32%. Applying the Canadian rule of thumb to the losses in Hong Kong adjusted to reflect the lower tax rate of 16.5%, we have estimated the mid-point of the rule of thumb to be $0.02 per dollar of losses. As a result of the retirement from the payment business in Canada and the United States, coupled with the restrictions on loss utilization, we have not attributed any value to the US tax losses nor to the Canadian losses related to the payment processing business. Since Management does not believe that significant profitability will be realized other than in Hong Kong, on the low end of the range, we have only attributed a value to the Hong Kong losses; on the high end of the range, we have attributed a value to the losses in Hong Kong, Canada and Europe.
