To all:

Two things
1) Sharon Button and CharlesRiver joined about the same time. Are you two connected?

2) Correcting an earlier post, Acquirers can use operating losses of an acquired entity. They are subject to two constraints. First, they are supposed to be utilized only by the future operating income of the acquired entity. However, creative accountants can usually get around this constraint. Second, they are subject to yearly limitations (the long term tax exempt rate -- approximately 5% -- times the equity purchase price of the company). This would give a slightly reduced value of the NOL's, as an acquirer would lose the time value of money. With respect to an earlier post, pooling of interests accounting has absolutely nothing to do with the ability to use NOL's.
