7. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended June 2019 and June 2018 were impacted by the  enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among the numerous provisions included in the new law was a reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% which resulted in a $0.8 million income tax benefit to the Company as reflected in our Statement of Operations for the nine months ended June 2018 and a lower federal income tax rate for the three and nine months ended June 2019. The $0.8 million tax benefit recognized in the prior fiscal year period (nine months ended June 2018) primarily resulted from applying the new lower federal income tax rates to the Company’s net long term deferred tax liabilities recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheet.
