Notes to Financial Statements
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	N OTE 7 – TAXES Our effective tax rate was (894.7)% and 24.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Our effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2015 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to a $3,151 deferred tax asset valuation allowance that was recorded during the quarter. Our effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 differs from the statutory rate mainly as a result of a $711 reduction to our reserve for unrecognized tax benefits due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. Our effective tax rate was (185.3%) and (72.3%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to a $3,151 deferred tax asset valuation allowance that was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 differed from the statutory rate mainly as a result of a $711 reduction to our reserve for unrecognized tax benefits recorded during the third quarter of 2014 due to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations. We recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities based upon our expectation of the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the income tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent tax expense recognized for which payment has been deferred, or expenses which have been deducted in our tax returns but which have not yet been recognized as an expense in our financial statements. Deferred tax assets generally represent tax deductions or credits that will be reflected in future tax returns for which we have already recorded a tax benefit in our consolidated financial statements. We establish valuation allowances for deferred income tax assets in accordance with GAAP, which provides that such valuation allowances shall be established unless realization of the income tax benefits is more likely than not. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. At each reporting period, we consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, available taxes in carryback periods, tax planning strategies and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. At September 30, 2015 we recorded a valuation allowance of $3,151, representing the portion of our deferred tax assets, net of the deferred tax liabilities that, based on an assessment of available positive and negative evidence, may not be realizable in future periods. We will continue to evaluate whether the valuation allowance is needed in future reporting periods. It is possible that sufficient positive evidence, including sustained profitability, may become available in future periods to reach a conclusion that all or part of the valuation allowance could be reversed.
