Note 3.  Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax provision of $36,000 and $88,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.  We recorded an income tax benefit of $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively. The income tax provision (benefit) is comprised of estimates of current taxes due in domestic and foreign jurisdictions.  The income tax provision (benefit) for continuing operations reflects tax expense associated with state income tax accrual, foreign income tax accrual, and interest accrued on ASC 740-10 reserves.

During Q1 2016, ASC 740-10 reserves and related interest were released in the amount of $284,000 due to the expiration of statutes which resulted in a tax benefit to discontinued operations.

When goodwill is amortizable for tax purposes, a deferred tax liability is recorded as the tax deduction is realized, which will not be reversed unless and until the goodwill is disposed of or impaired. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $1.3 million associated with a non-cash goodwill impairment charge as described in Note 1 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2016, our deferred tax assets are fully offset by a valuation allowance except in those jurisdictions where it is determined that a valuation allowance is not required. ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not. Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes historical operating performance, reported cumulative net losses since inception and difficulty in accurately forecasting our future results, we provided a full valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets and a partial valuation allowance against our foreign deferred tax assets.  We reassess the need for our valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. If it is later determined that a portion or all of the valuation allowance is not required it generally will be a benefit to the income tax provision in the period such determination is made.
 
The Company does not anticipate a material change in the total amount or composition of its unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of June 30, 2016.
