INCOME TAXES

The Company's quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items that occur within the quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the provision for income taxes for continuing operations was an expense of $1.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

A full valuation allowance was established during the second quarter 2015 due to the uncertainty of the utilization of deferred tax assets in future periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets we considered all available positive and negative evidence, including cumulative historic earnings, reversal of temporary difference, projected taxable income and tax planning strategies. The Company’s negative evidence, largely related to the Company's historical net losses, currently outweighs its positive evidence, therefore it is more-likely-than-not that we will not realize a significant portion of our deferred tax assets. The amount of the deferred tax asset to be realized in the future could however be adjusted if objective negative evidence is no longer present.
