11.            Income Taxes

 

An income tax provision of $110 thousand was recorded for the three months ended December 31, 2020 compared to an income tax benefit of $70 thousand in the same period of 2019. The increase in tax expense is primarily related to the write down of a deferred tax asset as a result of the change in tax law, allowing for the immediate deduction of covered expenses incurred through the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan with an associated change in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets from the prior period, offset by the forgiveness of the PPP Loans for which the income is excluded for tax purposes. This additional expense was recorded discretely during the quarter. In the prior period, the Company established a deferred tax asset for these expenses that were expected to be deductible in a future period.

 

The provisions above are estimates, and accordingly, changes to these estimates will be recorded in subsequent periods as more information and guidance becomes available.
