Income Taxes

The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The income tax benefit recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2015 of $1.8 million is principally due to a requirement under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Accounting for Income Taxes, that a Company must consider all sources of income in order to determine the tax benefit resulting from a loss from continuing operations.  As a result of the requirement under ASC 740-20-45-7, the pretax income which the Company generated from other comprehensive income was a source of income which resulted in the partial realization of the current year loss from continuing operations.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Company has recorded an approximate $1.8 million tax benefit to continuing operations out of the full year benefit of $3.1 million and an offsetting $3.1 million charge to other comprehensive income.
