13. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were (7.7)% and (33.8)%, respectively.  The Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were (16.9)% and (34.6)%, respectively. The United States statutory tax rate for the same periods was 35%.  The lower effective tax rates resulted from (i) the provision of a valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. and Canadian deferred tax assets of $3.4 million recorded during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2016, (ii) the provision of a valuation allowance against the Company’s Canadian subsidiary’s deferred tax assets of $2.5 million recorded during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016, and (iii) a net expense adjustment totaling $1.0 million recorded during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016 to correct the Company’s fiscal year 2015 income tax benefit.
