6. INCOME TAXES

For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.6 million and $2.7 million which was primarily attributable to income from continuing operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a benefit for income taxes of $1.3 million. For the nine months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $0.5 million which was primarily attributable to income from continuing operations ($0.7 million), income from discontinued operations ($0.2 million), and gain on disposal of discontinued operations ($0.5 million), reduced by a tax benefit for an adjustment to credit carryforwards ($0.9 million).

The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing the income tax provision by net income before income tax expense.

At March 31, 2014, there were $2.2 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would have affected the effective tax rate.  The Company does not believe that there has been any significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits in the nine-month period ended December 31, 2014, and does not expect the remaining unrecognized tax benefit to change materially in the next 12 months. To the extent that the remaining unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they will have an impact on the effective tax rate in future periods.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., California and various other states and foreign jurisdictions in which it has or had a subsidiary or branch operations or it is collecting sales tax. All tax returns from fiscal 1995 to fiscal 2014 may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, California and various other states. As of January 21, 2014, there were no active federal or state income tax audits. Returns filed in foreign jurisdictions may be subject to examination for the fiscal years 2010 to 2014.
