With the completion of this transaction, Marquis Industries became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Live Ventures and, given future projected earnings of Marquis Industries and its subsidiaries, should allow usage of nearly $10 Million in net operating loss carry forwards of Live Ventures in subsequent years, which could represent approximately $3 Million in cash tax savings.
