If the profits/losses are as above what would the taxable profits be?

Answer

2010 - no taxable profit - as the 50 of the 100 2011 loss is carried back - leaving 50 losses to be carried forward

2011 - no taxable profit - they made a loss!

2012 - no taxable profit - as 45 of the remaining 50 losses will be set against the profit

2013 - 25 taxable profit - this is the 30 profits less the final 5 tax losses left
