NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2022			2021
Effective tax rate		(0.356	%)		(42.628	%)

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded tax expense of $32 and $154, respectively.

The Company’s 2022 and 2021 income tax expense and rates differed from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of the U.S. jurisdiction that has a full valuation allowance recorded on U.S. and Finnish deferred tax assets. In addition, the tax rate is lower than the U.S. statutory federal tax rate as a result of foreign earnings that are taxed at lower tax rates.

The Company continues to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance. The Company analyzes available positive and negative evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed based on the weight of the evidence. This objectively verifiable evidence includes the current & prior two years' profit and loss positions after considering pre-tax book income plus or minus permanent adjustments as well as other positive & negative evidence available. This process requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that are uncertain in nature. The Company has established a valuation allowance with respect to deferred tax assets in the U.S. and Finland and continues to monitor and assess potential valuation allowances in all its jurisdictions.
