NOLs: Determining Net Income/(Loss) & Provision for Taxes

Hey guys,

I'm no nol (net operating loss) pro by any means, so could use some help. In short, what are the mechanics of NOLs? Is the full NOL netted against pretax income to determine taxes to be paid? Seems too simplistic.

Here's a hypothetical situation I could use input on. Looking to calculate (1) net income/(loss) for years below, (2) remaining NOLs. If someone's willing to help w/ a model, that would be incredible:

European co with 30m euros in NOLs going into 2011

Corp tax rate: 35%

Est. pretax income (EBT) by year: 2011: -2m (confirming: negative) 2012: -17m (confirming: negative) 2013: 5m 2014: 42m

Thanks for the help!
