Income Taxes
At the end of each interim period, the Company makes its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and uses that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis before discrete items. If a reliable estimate cannot be made, the Company may make a reasonable estimate of the annual effective tax rate, including use of the actual effective rate for the year-to-date. The impact of discrete items is recorded in the quarter in which they occur. The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes and deferred taxes which are determined based on the differences between the financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities given the enacted tax laws. The Company evaluates the need for valuation allowances on the net deferred tax assets under the rules of ASC 740 Income Taxes. In assessing the realizability of the Company's deferred tax assets, the Company considered whether it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized though the generation of future taxable income. In making this determination, the Company assessed all of the evidence available at the time including recent earnings, forecasted income projections and historical performance. In fiscal year 2013, the Company determined that the negative evidence outweighed the objectively verifiable positive evidence and recorded a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to reassess realizability going forward.
The Company recorded $69,000 and $98,000 of income tax benefit in the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, using an effective income tax rate of 0.5% and 0.6%, respectively. The Company recorded $68,000 and $87,000 of income tax expense in the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, using an effective rate of 4.9% and (6.5)%, respectively. The effective rate is impacted by states which base tax on gross margin and not pre-tax income.
