INCOME TAXES On a quarterly basis, we estimate what our effective tax rate will be for the full fiscal year and record a quarterly income tax provision based on the anticipated rate. As the year progresses, we refine our estimate based on the facts and circumstances, including discrete events, by each tax jurisdiction. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was (34%) and 23%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2018 is expected to be 56% compared to (18%) for the year ended December 31, 2017. The increase is due mainly to the effects of the tax reform changes that were enacted on December 22, 2017, and the increase in the effective tax rate expected in China.

The amount has been netted against the applicable deferred tax asset as any adjustment would reduce the recorded asset. The adoption of ASC 606 primarily resulted in an acceleration of revenue as of January 1, 2018, which in turn generated additional deferred tax liabilities of $305, that ultimately reduced the Company’s net deferred tax asset position. As the Company fully reserves its net deferred tax assets in the jurisdictions impacted by the adoption of ASC 606, this impact was offset by a corresponding reduction to the valuation allowance.
