Income Taxes | 12. Income Taxes Provisions for income taxes were $3,467,219 and $5,371,083 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, based on effective tax rates of 37.0 % and 37.5 %. Provisions for income taxes were $2,347,873 and $3,447,611 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively, based on effective tax rates of 38.6% and 37.9%. The decrease in the effective tax rates for the periods ended 2013, as compared to the same periods in the previous year, are primarily due to increases in anticipated tax credits and subsidiary earnings at a lower tax rate. In the normal course of business, Anika and its subsidiaries may be periodically examined by various taxing authorities. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, in certain U.S. states, and in Italy. The associated tax filings remain subject to examination by applicable tax authorities for a certain length of time following the tax year to which those filings relate. The 2009 through 2012 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS and other taxing authorities for U.S. federal and state purposes. The 2009 through 2012 tax years remain subject to examination by the appropriate governmental authorities in Italy. In connection with the preparation of the financial statements, the Company performed an analysis to ascertain if it was more likely than not that it would be able to utilize, in future periods, the net deferred tax assets associated with its net operating loss carryforward and its investment tax credit carryforward. We have concluded that the positive evidence outweighs the negative evidence and, thus, that those deferred tax assets are realizable on a “more likely than not” basis. As such, we have not recorded a valuation allowance at June 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012, respectively.
