Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 from continuing operations was $93 and $226, respectively. The tax provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 from continuing operations included an income tax provision for the consolidated group based on an estimated annual effective tax rate.

The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were a provision from continuing operations of 1.05% and 1.16%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 differed from the U.S. federal statutory rates of 21% primarily as a result of a reduction to the deferred tax liability related to an indefinite-lived intangible asset, an increase of purchase accounting deferred tax liabilities that cannot be absorbed by the deferred tax assets, nondeductible expenses, state income taxes, foreign income tax rate differential and the impact of valuation allowance on the Company's deferred tax assets.

The Company has evaluated all available evidence supporting the realization of its deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of future taxable income, and has determined that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized in the U.S. Due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance against substantially all deferred tax assets. If/when the Company determines that it will be able to realize some portion or all of its deferred tax assets, an adjustment to its valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets would have the effect of increasing net income in the period(s) such determination is made. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state jurisdictions and certain foreign jurisdictions. The Company has recently completed an IRS audit for the tax year 2016 with no adjustments. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examination by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years ended December 31, 2014 or prior, however, its tax attributes, such as net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and tax credits, are still subject to examination in the year they are used.

On March 27, 2020, the United States enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The CARES Act is an emergency economic stimulus package that includes spending and tax breaks to strengthen the United States economy and fund a nationwide effort to curtail the effect of COVID-19. While the CARES Act provides sweeping tax changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of the more significant provisions which are expected to impact the Company's financial statements include removal of certain limitations on utilization of net operating losses, increasing the loss carryback period for certain losses to five years, and increasing the ability to deduct interest expense, as well as amending certain provisions of the previously enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consistent with prior years, the Company expects to continue to generate net losses for the foreseeable future. The Company currently has significant federal and state deferred tax assets attributed to prior net operating losses and research and experimentation tax credits. These deferred tax assets are fully reserved. As the Company has never generated taxable income, the CARES Act feature allowing NOLs originating in 2018, 2019 or 2020 to be carried back five years is not expected to have a significant impact. Management does not expect any other provisions of the CARES Act to have a material impact in 2020.
