Income Taxes	4. INCOME TAXES Our effective tax rate decreased from a benefit of 20.1%, excluding the tax effect of the bargain purchase gain, in the six months ended June 30, 2018, to a benefit of 6.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the effective tax rate between the two periods was primarily driven by the shift to profitability in the six months ended June 30, 2019, with tax expense being offset by a 29.1% rate reduction related to a transfer pricing study completed during the second quarter of 2019 that resulted in the assignment of operating expenditures to specific company locations, and the effective income tax rates among the respective jurisdictions. The Company continually reviews the adequacy of the valuation allowance and recognizes the benefits of deferred tax assets only as the reassessment indicates that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be recognized in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. As of June 30, 2019, we had net deferred tax assets of $39.0 million. Since management continues to assess the realization of these deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance(s), as such, we may release a portion of the valuation allowance or establish a new valuation allowance based on operations in the jurisdictions in which these assets arose. Our assessment includes the evaluation of evidence, some of which requires significant judgment, including historical operating results, the evaluation of our three-year cumulative income position, future taxable income projections and tax planning strategies. Due to operating losses incurred in prior quarters in the United States, the Company is currently near breakeven on its three-year cumulative income position for this tax jurisdiction. Should the Company determine that a valuation allowance is needed in the future due to management’s conclusion that it is no longer more likely than not that the Company will be able to utilize its deferred tax assets in a particular jurisdiction, it could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
