. Income Taxes
 
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between financial statements and income tax carrying values using tax rates in effect for the years such differ
ences are expected to reverse. Due to uncertainties surrounding our ability to generate future taxable income and consequently realize such deferred income tax assets, a full valuation allowance has been established. We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as of
September 30, 2017.
 
The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more
likely than
not
to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority. An uncertain income tax position will be recognized when it is more likely than
not
of being sustained. In
2017,
we adopted ASU

which resulted in the recognition of
$
3.6
million of previously unrecognized tax benefits in deferred tax assets, fully offset by a valuation allowance. The disclosures included in our
