12. Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rate for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was zero percent. As a result of the analysis of all available evidence as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. Consequently, the Company reported no income tax benefit for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. If the Company’s assumptions change and the Company believes that it will be able to realize these deferred tax assets, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets will be recognized as a reduction of future income tax expense.  If the assumptions do not change, each period the Company could record an additional valuation allowance on any increases in the deferred tax assets.

 

On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which includes modifications to the limitation on business interest expense and net operating loss provisions, and provides a payment delay of employer payroll taxes during 2020 after the date of enactment. The CARES Act is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
