Notes to Financial Statements
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	7 . Income taxes For the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recorded an income tax recovery of $0.1 million on income before income taxes of $2.3 million, using an estimated effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2017 (“ Fiscal 2017”) adjusted for certain minimum state taxes as well as the inclusion of a $1.0 million tax expense recovery related to the adoption of ASU 2016 - 09, which requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to employee share-based payments to be recognized through income tax expense on a prospective basis. Comparatively, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $1.9 million on income before taxes of $6.3 million, using an estimated effective tax rate for the 2016 fiscal year. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the years in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company considers projected future taxable income, uncertainties related to the industry in which we operate, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. On January 20, 2017, the Company acquired eNom and a s part of the acquisition, the Company assumed $20.0 million of deferred tax liabilities (note 8(b)). The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes to account for income tax exposures. The application of this interpretation requires a two -step process that separates recognition of uncertain tax benefits from measurement thereof. The Company had approximately $0.1 million of total gross unrecognized tax benefit as of March 31, 2017 and as of December 31, 2016, which if recognized would favorably affect its income tax rate in future periods. The unrecognized tax benefit relates primarily to prior year Pennsylvania state franchise taxes. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to income taxes in income tax expense. The Company did not have significant interest and penalties accrued at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
