Note 16 – Income Taxes

The Company calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC 740. At the end of each interim period, the Company makes an estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year to date earnings or loss. In addition, the effect of changes in enacted tax laws, rates or tax status is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.

The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income (or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired or additional information is obtained. The computation of the annual effective tax rate includes modifications, which were projected for the year, for share based compensation, the domestic manufacturing deduction and state research and development credits among others.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s statutory rate was 35%; the effective tax rate was approximately (5.5%) and (5,513%), respectively, based on the statutory federal rate net of discrete federal and state taxes. The computation of the annual effective tax rate includes modifications, which were projected for the year, for share based compensation, the domestic manufacturing deduction, interest expense and state income tax credits among others. The main driver of the difference between 2016 and 2015 was the change in the forecasted pretax income between the quarters as well as significant variances in the discrete items in each quarter.

 

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s statutory rate was 35%; the effective tax rate was approximately 56% and (19%), respectively, based on the statutory federal rate net of discrete federal and state taxes. The computation of the annual effective tax rate includes modifications, which were projected for the year, for share based compensation, the domestic manufacturing deduction, interest expense and state income tax credits among others. The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 also includes a 7% discrete rate impact for a provision-to-return adjustment associated with a change in estimate related to expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes.
