12.            Income Taxes

An income tax expense of $35 thousand was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to an income tax expense of $10 thousand in the same period of 2020. An income tax expense of $868 thousand was recorded for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 compared to income tax expense of $1,109 thousand in the same period of 2020. The income tax expense for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 is primarily driven by an increase in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the period, offset by a benefit recorded for a change in tax law, allowing for the immediate deduction of covered expenses incurred through the Paycheck Protection Program. The income tax expense for the year to date ended June 30, 2020 reflected the recording of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets during the third fiscal quarter, offset by the anticipated tax benefit from the carryback of net operating losses.

The provisions above are estimates, and accordingly, changes to these estimates will be recorded in subsequent periods as more information and guidance becomes available.
