Note 7. Income Taxes

The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for discrete items, if any, which are taken into account in the quarterly period in which they occur.  We review and update our estimated annual effective tax rate each quarter.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our estimated annual effective tax rate was primarily impacted by the permanent item related to the noncash interest of our redeemable preferred stock.   Accordingly, we recorded an approximately $8,000 income tax provision and $669,000 income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

We are required to establish a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on available evidence, realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.  We considered projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and reversal of taxable temporary differences in making this assessment. As such, we have determined that a full valuation allowance is required as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  We are not able to use temporary taxable differences related to goodwill, as a source of future taxable income. As a result of a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, a deferred tax liability related to goodwill of $3.3 million and $3.2 million remains on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Under the provisions of ASC 740-10, we determined that there were approximately $789,000 and $803,000 of unrecognized tax benefits, including $211,000 and $210,000 of related interest and penalties, required to be recorded as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  We believe that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will not significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.
