INCOME TAXES
7.INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $50,000, or 0.7% of pretax loss, compared to a provision for income taxes of $419,000, or 4.2%, of pretax income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.
 
The Company assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets.  A significant piece of objective negative evidence was the cumulative losses incurred by the Company in recent years.  On the basis of this evaluation the realization of the Company’s deferred tax assets was not deemed to be more likely than not and thus the Company maintained a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2015.
