NOTE 14.  INCOME TAXES

The Company's foreign operations that are considered to be permanently reinvested have an effective tax rate of 24%.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company's gross deferred tax asset was $91,031.  The Company has recorded a valuation allowance, resulting in a net deferred tax asset of $69,527, excluding deferred tax liabilities.

As of December 31, 2010, the Company had net operating loss, research and experimentation credit and alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $226,837, $1,501 and $56, respectively.  The Company's ability to benefit from certain net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is limited under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code"), due to a prior ownership change of greater than 50%.  The Company believes its U.S. Federal net operating loss ("NOL") will substantially offset its future U.S. Federal income taxes, excluding the amount subject to U.S. Federal Alternative Minimum Tax ("AMT").  AMT is calculated as 20% of AMT income.  For purposes of AMT, a maximum of 90% of income is offset by available NOLs. The majority of the Company's pre-tax income is currently earned and expected to be earned in the U.S., or taxed in the U.S. as Subpart F. income and will be offset with the NOL.

Of the $225,786 of net operating losses available to offset taxable income, $214,160 does not expire until 2020 or later, subject to compliance with Section 382 of the Code as indicated by the following schedule:
