Note 8.—Income Taxes

The Company calculates its quarterly tax provision pursuant to the guidelines in ASC 740 Income Taxes.  ASC 740 requires companies to estimate the annual effective tax rate for current year ordinary income. In calculating the effective tax rate, permanent differences between financial reporting and taxable income are factored into the calculation, and temporary differences are not. The estimated annual effective tax rate represents the Company’s estimate of the tax provision in relation to the best estimate of pre-tax ordinary income or loss. The estimated annual effective tax rate is then applied to year-to-date ordinary income or loss to calculate the year-to-date interim tax provision.

 

The Company adopted ASU 2019-12 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2020. The most significant impact to the Company included the removal of the exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items (for example, discontinued operations or other comprehensive income). The changes also add a requirement for an entity to reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company recorded income tax expense of $15 thousand and $51 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Tax expense for the three and six months ended June  30, 2020 is primarily the result of state income taxes from states where the Company does not have net operating loss carryforwards or state minimum taxes.  The Company recorded income tax expense of $81 thousand and $167 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.  Tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is primarily the result of state income taxes from states where the Company does not have net operating loss carryforwards or state minimum taxes, offset by a benefit resulting from the intraperiod allocation rules that are applied when there is a pre-tax loss from continuing operations and pre-tax income from other comprehensive income.

 

At June  30, 2020, the Company had accumulated other comprehensive (loss) earnings of $23.9 million, which was net of tax of $11.3 million.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had estimated federal net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $566.6 million. Federal NOL carryforwards begin to expire in 2027.  As of December 31, 2019, the Company had estimated California NOL carryforwards of approximately $385.2 million, which begin to expire in 2028.  The Company may not be able to realize the maximum benefit due to the nature and tax entities that hold the NOL.
