$557,147
reflecting an effective tax rate of
21.1%.
For the
six
months ended
March 31, 2018,
the Company recorded an income tax expense of
$393,339
and an additional discrete tax expense of
$2,474,000
due to the remeasurement of its deferred tax assets as a result of tax reform. The Company continues to maintain a partial valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as the Company believes that the negative evidence that it will be able to recover these net deferred tax assets outweighs the positive evidence.
 
ASC
740,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
, requires the Company to recognize in its consolidated financial statements uncertainties in tax positions taken that
may
not
be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. If interest or penalties are assessed, the Company would recognize these charges as income tax expense. The Company has
not
recorded any income tax expense or benefit for uncertain tax positions.
