10. Income Taxes The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 11.1% and 4.9%, respectively, resulting in a $2,976,000 and $1,509,000 income tax expense, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was 40%, resulting in a $618,000 and $1,130,000 income tax benefit, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $3,938,000. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred income tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on the consideration of these items, management has determined that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the deferred income tax asset balances to warrant the application of a valuation allowance as of September 30, 2015 and therefore has recorded a valuation allowance. |
