Note 12. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was 48.6% and (10.9)% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The variance from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, was primarily related to the release of the valuation allowance attributable to the acquisition of NimbeLink.

Management assesses its deferred tax assets quarterly to determine whether all or any portion of the asset is more likely than not unrealizable under ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the asset that management concludes is more likely than not to be unrealizable. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. The Company’s assessment considers all evidence, both positive and negative, including the nature, frequency and severity of any current and cumulative losses, taxable income in carryback years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets of $8.5 million, however, the exclusion of a deferred tax liability generated by goodwill (an indefinite lived intangible) may not be considered a future source of taxable income in evaluating the need for a valuation allowance.

In connection with the acquisition of NimbeLink, the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities associated with acquired intangible assets. As a result, for the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company determined that it is appropriate to release a portion of the Company's valuation allowance.
