11. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $11,000 and $23,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $8,000 and $19,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

Based on current projections, management believes that it is more likely than not that Mediabistro will have insufficient taxable income to allow recognition of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established against deferred tax assets to the extent that deductible temporary differences cannot be offset by taxable temporary differences. To the extent that the net book value of indefinite lived assets exceeds the net tax value of indefinite lived assets, an additional tax provision will be incurred as the assets are amortized.

 

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $100,000 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all of which would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized, as of June 30, 2013.
