NOTE 12. INCOME TAXES

The Company is a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal income tax. The tax implications of the Offering and the Company’s concurrent corporate reorganization, and the tax impact of the Company’s status as a taxable corporation subject to U.S. federal income tax have been reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The effective U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was 0.0%. Total income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 differed from amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% due primarily to the impact of recording a valuation allowance against the tax benefit of the net loss. The Company is subject to the Texas Margin Tax that requires tax payments at a maximum statutory effective rate of 0.75% on the taxable margin of each taxable entity that does business in Texas.

As a result of the Offering and subsequent reorganization, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset; however, a full valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the Company’s net deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized and is based upon the uncertainty of the realization of certain federal and state deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.
