Income Taxes

As a result of a recent acquisition, the Company now conducts operations and is subject to tax in certain foreign countries. It is the intent of the Company to permanently reinvest any earnings and profits generated by its foreign affiliates. Additionally, one of its foreign affiliates is subject to tax in Estonia. Estonia has a dual tax rate: 0% for earnings and profits as they are generated and 20% for earnings and profits that are distributed to shareholders. The Company has taken the position that the 20% tax rate applies only when dividends have been declared and recognized as a liability. Accordingly, the Company has provided no taxes on the current earnings generated by its Estonian affiliate. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is recognized based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based upon the tax rate expected for the full calendar year applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period adjusted for discrete items. The Company excludes from the calculation of the annual effective tax rate those jurisdictions that are projected to operate at a loss and in which a tax benefit will not be recognized.

At December 31, 2015, the Company’s U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards totaled $35.6 million. The Company’s ability to use net operating loss carry forwards is subject to substantial limitation in future periods under certain provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which limit the utilization of net operating losses upon a more than 50% change in ownership of the Company’s stock that is held by 5% or greater stockholders. The Company examined the application of Section 382 with respect to an ownership change that took place during 2010, as well as the limitation on the application of net operating loss carry forwards. The Company believes that operating losses subsequent to the change date in 2010 (aggregating $7.8 million) are not subject to Section 382 limitations. The Company has estimated that the annual limitation starting in 2010 aggregates from $1.0 million to $2.3 million per year including the effect of amortization of built in gains. The Company’s loss carryforwards may be further limited in the future if additional ownership changes occur.

The Company is subject to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Income Taxes”. ASC 740 prescribes a more likely-than-not threshold for the financial statement recognition of uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. On a quarterly basis, the Company undergoes a process to evaluate whether income tax accruals are in accordance with ASC 740 guidance on uncertain tax positions. For federal purposes, post 1998 tax years remain open to examination as a result of net operating loss carryforwards. The Company is currently open to audit by the appropriate state income taxing authorities for tax years 2012 to 2014. The Company has not recorded any liability for uncertain tax positions at March 31, 2016 or March 31, 2015.
