Income Taxes
Income Taxes:
The benefit from income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $(6,000) and $(6,000), respectively. The difference between the statutory rate and the Company’s effective tax rate is primarily due to the impact of foreign taxes, changes in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, and changes in the accruals related to unrecognized tax benefits.
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $9.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of which $322,000 and $332,000, respectively, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had accrued $43,000 and $56,000, respectively, for interest and penalties. The $13,000 reduction in interest and penalties on gross unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to the expiration of the statute of limitations in certain foreign jurisdictions.
