Note 4: Income Taxes

The Company recognized income tax expense of $16,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, compared to an income tax benefit of $48,000 during the same period of 2023. At the end of each interim period, the Company estimates the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and this rate is applied to the results for the year-to-date period, and then adjusted for any discrete period items. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the variance between the Company’s effective tax rate and the U.S. statutory rate of 21% is primarily attributable to state income tax. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the effective tax rate was also impacted by additional expense associated with vesting of stock-based compensation.
