NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES


The Company and its non-Canadian subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. USCAN and Galileo file separate tax returns in Canada. Provisions for income taxes include deferred taxes for temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities for financial and tax purposes resulting from the use of the liability method of accounting for income taxes.


The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“the Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. The rate change was effective on January 1, 2018; therefore, the Company’s U.S. statutory tax rate for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, is 21 percent, while the rate for fiscal year 2018 was a bended rate of approximately 28 percent. The current applicable Canadian statutory rate for the Canadian subsidiaries is approximately 26.5 percent.


At September 30, 2018, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of enactment of the Act; however, in certain cases, as described below, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued guidance that allows for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The final transitional impacts of the Act may differ from the initial estimates.


The Act also established new tax provisions that become effective in future periods, including but not limited to eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax, creating the base erosion anti-abuse tax (“BEAT”), establishing new limitations on deductible interest expense and certain executive compensation, creating a new provision designed to tax global intangible low-tax income (“GILTI”) and generally eliminating U.S. Federal income taxes on dividends from foreign subsidiaries. The Company has included these provisions in its U.S. Federal income tax estimates.


Under the new GILTI tax rules, an accounting policy election must be made to either treat taxes due on future GILTI inclusions in U.S. taxable income as a current period expense when incurred or reflect as a component of deferred taxes. This provision became effective for the Company on July 1, 2018. Given the complexity of the GILTI provisions, the Company is still evaluating the tax impact and has not yet made the accounting policy election. The Company has, however, included an estimate of the current GILTI impact in the tax provision for fiscal 2019.


Provisional amounts


Deferred tax assets and liabilities: Certain domestic-related deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured in the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21 percent The Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Act and refining the calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts. As a valuation allowance is recorded for the full amount of these net deferred tax assets, the remeasurement of the net deferred tax assets was offset by a corresponding remeasurement of the valuation allowance.


Foreign tax effects: The one-time transition tax is based on total post-1986 earnings and profits (“E&P”) that were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. The Company has not yet completed its calculation of the total post-1986 E&P for these foreign subsidiaries.


Carryovers


For U.S. federal income tax purposes at September 30, 2018, the Company has U.S. federal net operating loss carryovers of $5.3 million with $1.9 million and $2.7 million expiring in fiscal years 2035 and 2036, respectively, and $660,000 with no expiration. Certain limitations apply to the utilization of net operating losses generated after fiscal year 2018. The Company has capital loss carryovers of $1.1 million with $750,000 and $348,000 expiring in fiscal years 2022 and 2023, respectively. The Company has charitable contribution carryovers totaling approximately $69,000 with $34,000; $19,000; $5,000; and $11,000 expiring in fiscal years 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2023, respectively. For Canadian income tax purposes, Galileo has net operating loss carryovers of $568,000 with $103,000; $45,000; $124,000; $73,000; and $223,000 expiring in fiscal years 2027, 2030, 2036, 2037 and 2038, respectively. If certain changes in the Company's ownership should occur, there could be an annual limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryovers that could be utilized.


A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax amount will not be realized. At September 30, 2018, and June 30, 2018, a valuation allowance of $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, was included to fully reserve for net operating loss carryovers, other carryovers and certain book/tax differences in the balance sheet.
