17.       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.”

 

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

The Company provided for a full valuation allowance against the net operating losses (“NOLs”) generated during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, resulting in no income tax benefit.  The Company’s pre-tax federal NOL at June 30, 2013 is estimated to be approximately $95.0 million.  In the event that the Company experiences an ownership change under Internal Revenue Code Section 382, the Company’s NOLs would be fully impaired (reduced nearly to zero).  Income tax expense from continuing operations of $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, is due to state franchise taxes and interest expense on uncertain tax positions.

 

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

 

The Company’s provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $27.3 million and $25.0 million, respectively, and is primarily due to the establishment of a valuation allowance against substantially all of the Company’s deferred tax assets, of which a substantial portion has been allocated to continuing operations.
