(13) Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or in tax returns. Deferred taxes are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

Changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded in the provision for income taxes. The Company evaluates the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including recent financial results, forecasts of future taxable income, and tax planning strategies.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by applying a two-step process under ASC 740. First, each tax position is evaluated to determine whether it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. If so, the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements is then measured as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

To the extent a tax position does not meet the recognition threshold, the Company records unrecognized tax benefits, including any associated interest and penalties, as a component of the provision for income taxes.
