NOTE 7 – INCOME TAX

The income tax provision for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was $250,000, compared to $17,876,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was (0.4%), compared to (54.9%) for the same period during fiscal 2019. The income tax provision for the year-to-date period of fiscal 2020 was $2,955,000, compared to an income tax benefit of $2,321,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rate for the year-to-date period of fiscal 2020 was (1.2%), compared to 1.8% in the same period during fiscal 2019. The change in the income tax provision for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to third quarter of fiscal 2019 primarily relates to the valuation allowances established in fiscal year 2019. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded an additional valuation allowance of $2,609,000 related to certain state jurisdictions based upon the determination that it was not more likely than not that such assets would be realized

As of November 30, 2019, the Company had total unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $4,100,000, the majority of which, if recognized, would affect the Company’s effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible a significant portion of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits could decrease within the next twelve months primarily due to settlements with certain taxing jurisdictions.
