Do tell...

A net operating loss (NOL) may be carried forward to offset taxable income in future years in order to reduce a company's future tax liability. The purpose behind this tax provision is to allow some form of tax relief when a company loses money in a tax period.

Corporate tax rate (which, btw, would be applied to taxable income to determine tax) is 21%. The "offset" of taxable income from this company's NOL's is $300+M, so the "offset" of tax is $60-65M, which is less than the debt which would be assumed, and that doesn't count any costs of acquisition.

It seems this is your first Q stock - if Bioamber had been sold as a going concern the NOLs could have been used but the buyer would also have to have taken on the debt.

The NOLs are worthless.
