<what I don't know is the "shelf-life" of those accruals. How long can they be carried before they expire? Anyone?>

Up to 20 years if future profit is "more likely than not."

If it is more likely than not that the company will NOT be profitable over the 20 years then the tax benefit must be reversed. I believe this reversal would be recorded as tax expense on the income statement and reduce deferred tax assets on the balance sheet (not 100% sure here).
