18.  Income Taxes

 

Refer to Note 1 within the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a discussion of the accounting policy related to income taxes.  During interim periods, the Company calculates and reports an estimated annual effective income tax rate pursuant to ASC 740-270, “Income Taxes — Interim Reporting.”

 

The Company provided for a full valuation allowance against the net operating losses generated during the three months ended March 31, 2013, resulting in no income tax benefit.  Income tax expense of $0.1 million is due to state franchise taxes and interest expense on uncertain tax positions.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was negative 28.6%, resulting in income tax expense of approximately $0.7 million.   The Company’s tax rate differs from the federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to non-deductible discrete tax expense associated with stock compensation shortfalls, partially offset by a state and local income tax benefit.
