Income Taxes
 
The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $
1.5
million and $
1.2
 million in the 
three
and
nine
month periods ended
December 31, 2020
, respectively. 
The Company recorded income tax expense of
$0.1
 million in the
three
months ended 
December 31, 2019
, and less than
$0.1
million in the
nine
months ended 
December 31, 2019
.
 
As a result of a difference in book and tax basis related to the intangible assets acquired in the Acquisition (see Note
2,
"NEPSI Acquisition"), the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of
$1.7
million. As a result, the Company was able to benefit from additional deferred tax assets and therefore released a corresponding valuation allowance of 
$1.7
 million during the 
three
and
nine
 months ended 
December 31, 2020
.  The purchase price allocation is preliminary and has
not
been finalized as the analysis on the assets and liabilities acquired, primarily the tax related liability,
may
require further adjustments to the Company's purchase accounting that could result in measurement period adjustments that would impact the Company's reported net assets and goodwill as of
October 1, 2020.
Material changes, if any, to the preliminary allocation summarized in Note
2,
"NEPSI Acquisition" will be reported once the related uncertainties are resolved, but
no
later than
October 1, 2021.  
Goodwill recognized in the Acquisition is
not
deductible for tax purposes.
 
Accounting for income taxes requires a
two
-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions.  The
first
step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if, based on the technical merits, it is more likely than
not
the position will be sustained upon audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any.  The
second
step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than
50%
likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement.  The Company re-evaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis.  The evaluation is based on factors including, but
not
limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law, effectively settled issues under audit and new audit activity.  Any changes in these factors could result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.  The Company did
not
identify any uncertain tax positions in the 
nine
months ended 
December 31, 2020
and did
not
have any gross unrecognized tax benefits as of
March 31, 2020
.
