Income Taxes

14. Income Taxes

Income tax expense during interim periods is based on applying an estimated annual effective income tax rate to year-to-date income, plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items that are recorded in the interim period. The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in various jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is obtained, additional information becomes known, or as the tax environment changes.

The interim financial statement provision for income taxes is different from the amounts computed by applying the United States federal statutory income tax rate of 21%. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0.00% and -0.01% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The difference between the effective tax rate and the federal statutory rate of 21% was primarily due to the full valuation allowance recorded on the Company’s net deferred tax assets.

The Company experienced an ownership change under IRC Section 382 as a result of the common shares issued in connection with the January 2021 Offering. This ownership change limited the Company’s ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards prior to expiration and certain net operating loss carryforwards were written off as a result. The Company is currently conducting additional analysis regarding the valuation of the Company at the time of the ownership change to assess what, if any, portion of the limitation may be reversed. Any adjustment to the amount of limitation will not impact the deferred tax asset balance due to the full valuation allowance.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no material changes to the Company’s uncertain tax positions.
