Income Taxes | 5. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. For the legacy eGain business in the United States, based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes our historical operating performance and the reported cumulative net losses in all prior years, we have provided a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. For the legacy eGain business in the United Kingdom, based on the positive evidence, we have determined we would be able to utilize the deferred tax assets and do not have a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets. The remaining eGain foreign operations as well as Exony’s business have historically been profitable, and we believe it is more likely than not that those assets will be realized. Our tax provision primarily relates to foreign activities as well as state income taxes. Our income tax rate differs from the statutory tax rates primarily due to the utilization of net operating loss carry-forwards which had previously been valued against as well as our foreign operations. We account for uncertain tax positions according to the provisions of ASC 740. ASC 740 contains a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. Tax positions are evaluated for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is probable that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation. Tax benefits are then measured as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We consider many factors when evaluating and estimating tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. As of March 31, 2020, we have not completed a 382 study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since our company’s formation due to the complexity and cost associated with such a study, and the fact that an additional change in ownership can occur in future periods. If the Company has experienced an ownership change at any time since its formation, utilization of the NOL or tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income and taxes, respectively, would be subject to an annual limitation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and similar state provisions. Any limitation may result in expiration of all or a portion of our NOL and or tax credit carryforwards before utilization. Until a study is completed and limitations are known, no amounts of federal and state NOL and tax credit carryforwards are being considered as an uncertain tax position or disclosed as unrecognized tax benefits since no benefits have been realized to date. As a result, the deferred tax assets related to these domestic loss and tax credit carryforwards and the offsetting valuation allowances have also been removed from our consolidated financial statements with no impact on earnings. These amounts are no longer recognized until they can be measured after an ownership change analysis is completed. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act includes a provision to tax global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) of foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2020, we estimate $2.0 million of GILTI income inclusion and used our net operating losses to offset our taxable income. On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed into law. The CARES Act includes income tax provisions relating to net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. These provisions did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
