13. Income Taxes

The Company has an effective tax rate of (4.09)% and (0.8)% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and (18.88)% and (2.2)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company has incurred U.S. operating losses and has minimal profits in its foreign jurisdictions.

The Company has applied ASC 740, Income Taxes, and has determined that it has uncertain positions that would result in a tax reserve deemed immaterial for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. The Company is subject to U.S. federal tax authority, U.S. state tax authority and foreign tax authority examinations.

The Company early adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU No. 2019-12”) during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2019-12, the tax effect of the Company’s loss from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was computed without regard to items other than from continuing operations. Furthermore, a valuation allowance was recorded to reduce the Company’s net deferred tax assets to its realizable value.

The Company has evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of its deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of future taxable income, and has determined that it is more likely than not that its net deferred tax assets will not be realized in the United States. Due to uncertainties surrounding the realization of the deferred tax assets, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance against substantially all of its net deferred tax assets. When the Company determines that it will be able to realize some portion or all of its deferred tax assets, an adjustment to its valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets would have the effect of increasing net income in the period such determination is made.

On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") was enacted and signed into law. The CARES Act makes changes to the U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to: (1) modifications to the business interest deduction limitation for tax years 2019 and 2020; (2) a technical correction of the recovery period of qualified improvement property from 39 to 15 years; and (3) a repeal of the 80% taxable income limitation on the deduction of net operating losses ("NOLs") for tax years beginning before January 1, 2021 as well as a five-year carryback period allowed for NOLs generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021.

Under ASC 740, the effects of new legislation would need to be recognized in the period of enactment. Therefore, the effects of the CARES Act would need to be accounted for in the quarter that includes March 27, 2020. The Company evaluated the provisions of the CARES Act and determined that there was no material impact for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company will continue to monitor any updates to the legislation and assess the potential income tax impact.
