The Company had income tax expense of $37,000 and income tax benefit of $3,093,000 for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and income tax expenses of $53,000 and $124,000 for continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately (2
.8%) and 19.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and 3.5% and 42.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.
The Company’s income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily the result of a tax benefit recorded in the amount of $3,203,000 resulting from the permit impairment loss recorded for the Company’s M&EC subsidiary during the second quarter of 2016.
