16. Income Taxes

The Company computes income taxes using the liability method. This method requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities, measured by enacted rates, attributable to temporary differences between the financial statements and the income tax basis of assets and liabilities. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those specific jurisdictions prior to the dates on which such net operating losses expire. The Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because the Company has determined that is it more likely than not that these assets will not be fully realized based on a current evaluation of expected future taxable income and the Company is in a cumulative loss position.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was (0.30)% and (0.08)%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was (0.25)% and (0.10)%, respectively.   

 

The Company is subject to tax in the United States and many state and local jurisdictions. The Company, with certain exceptions, is no longer subject to income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state and local for tax years 2015 and prior.

 

Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes, such as foreign tax and research tax credits, to offset its post-change income and taxes may be limited.  An “ownership change” generally occurs if there is a cumulative change exceeding 50 percentage points over a rolling-three-year period in ownership by “5% shareholders”. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws

The Company experienced an ownership change in April 2021 and as a result, the utilization of the Company’s net operating loss, capital loss and U.S. credit carryforwards to offset taxable income are subject to an annual limitation, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Sections 382 and 383. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the limitation on its ability to utilize tax attributes in the future. The Company currently has a full valuation allowance against all its tax attributes.

The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
