INCOME TAXES |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE 11 — INCOME TAXES Effective tax rates differ from federal statutory income tax rates primarily due to changes in the Company’s valuation allowance, permanent differences and provisions for state and local income taxes. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had no net deferred income taxes due to the full recorded valuation allowance. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $28 compared to a benefit for income taxes of $9 during the three months ended September 30, 2012. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $64, compared to a provision for income taxes of $21 during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company files income tax returns in U.S. federal and state jurisdictions. As of September 30, 2013, open tax years in federal and some state jurisdictions date back to 1996 due to the taxing authorities’ ability to adjust operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of $153,629 expiring in various years through 2032. It is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by up to approximately $285 as a result of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations within the next 12 months. In addition, Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRC”), generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and associated built-in losses that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone certain changes in stock ownership. The Company’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards and built-in losses may be limited, under this section or otherwise, by the Company’s issuance of common stock or by other changes in stock ownership. Upon completion of the Company’s analysis of IRC Section 382, the Company has determined that aggregate changes in stock ownership have triggered an annual limitation on NOL carryforwards and built-in losses available for utilization. To the extent the Company’s use of NOL carryforwards and associated built-in losses is significantly limited in the future due to additional changes in stock ownership, the Company’s income could be subject to U.S. corporate income tax earlier than it would be if the Company were able to use NOL carryforwards and built-in losses without such limitation, which could result in lower profits and the loss of benefits from these attributes. The Company announced on February 13, 2013, that its Board of Directors had adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan (the “Rights Plan”) designed to preserve the Company’s substantial tax assets associated with NOL carryforwards under IRC Section 382. The Rights Plan is intended to act as a deterrent to any person or group, together with its affiliates and associates, being or becoming the beneficial owner of 4.9% or more of the Company’s common stock and thereby triggering a further limitation of the Company’s available NOL carryforwards. In connection with the adoption of the Rights Plan, the Board of Directors declared a non-taxable dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 22, 2013. Each Right entitles its holder to purchase from the Company one-thousandth of a share of the Company’s Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $14.00 per Right, subject to adjustment. As a result of the Rights Plan, any person or group that acquires beneficial ownership of 4.9% or more of the Company’s common stock without the approval of the Company’s Board of Directors would be subject to significant dilution in the ownership interest of that person or group. Stockholders who owned 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock as of February 12, 2013 will not trigger the preferred share purchase rights unless they acquire additional shares. The Rights Plan was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As of September 30, 2013, the Company has $484 of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would have a favorable impact on income tax expense. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. The Company has accrued interest and penalties of $198 as of September 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of $454, of which $168 represented accrued interest and penalties.
