Income Taxes

 

The Company calculates its income tax provision during interim reporting periods by applying an estimate of its annual effective tax rate to year-to-date pre-tax income or loss. The Company’s provision for income taxes consists of federal and state taxes, as applicable, in amounts necessary to align the Company’s year-to-date income tax provision with the annual effective tax rate that it expects to achieve for the full year.  

 

The Company’s projected annual effective tax rate of 23.72% (excluding discrete items) is lower than the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily related to nondeductible permanent differences, including stock based compensation for Incentive Stock Options. For the three and nine months ended July 31, 2017, the Company recorded an income tax expense of approximately 86500$87,000 and an income tax benefit of approximately (11141) $11,000, respectively. Included in the Company’s provision for income taxes for the nine months ended July 31, 2017, is a discrete tax provision of approximately $198,000 related to the Company adjusting its deferred tax asset relating to net operating losses in various state jurisdictions.
