10. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 of $6,451,000, or an effective tax rate of 45.4%, and $2,826,000, or an effective tax rate of 49.1%. The Company recorded income tax expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, of $6,821,000, or an effective tax rate of 45.2%, and $6,958,000, or an effective tax rate of 45.5%, respectively. The income tax rates for all periods were higher than the federal statutory rate primarily due to (i) state income taxes, which were partially offset by the benefit of lower statutory tax rates in foreign taxing jurisdiction, (ii) non-deductible executive compensation under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m), and (iii) the non-deductible expense in connection with the fair value adjustment on the warrants. The Company’s income tax rates for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2015 were impacted by certain adjustments related to the return to provision reconciliation. The Company’s income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2014 includes the required adjustments to reflect the appropriate nine-month rate. In addition, the income tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 was impacted by the payments made under voluntary disclosure agreements with certain states.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations. During the three months ended December 31, 2015, fiscal 2014 was added to the periods under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). At December 31, 2015, the Company continues to be under examination in the U.S. by the IRS for fiscal years 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and by the State of California for fiscal year 2013. The Company is not under examination in any another jurisdiction. The Company believes no significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next 12 months.
