NOTE 11: INCOME TAXES

 

Our deferred tax assets are primarily related to net federal and state operating loss carryforwards (NOLs). We have substantial NOLs that are limited in its usage by IRC Section 382. IRC Section 382 generally imposes an annual limitation on the amount of NOLs that may be used to offset taxable income when a corporation has undergone significant changes in stock ownership within a statutory testing period. We have performed a preliminary analysis of the annual NOL carryforwards and limitations that are available to be used against taxable income. Based on the history of losses of the Company, there continues to be a full valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets of the Company.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we reported tax expense of $46 including $40 resulting from the goodwill on the acquisition of Wireless Ronin Technologies. The net deferred liability at March 31, 2018 of $589 represents the liability relating to indefinite lived assets, which is not more likely than not to be offset by the Company’s deferred tax assets.

 

The Tax Reform Act was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among other things, the Tax Reform Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. We applied the guidance in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") when accounting for the enactment date effects of the Tax Reform Act. Accordingly, we remeasured our deferred taxes as of December 31, 2017 to reflect the reduced rate that will apply in future periods when these deferred taxes are settled or realized, resulting in a one-time $0.2 million net tax benefit in 2017. Upon further analyses of certain aspects of the Tax Reform Act and refinement of our calculations during the three months ended March 31, 2018, we made no adjustments to our provisional amounts recorded. We consider the accounting for the enactment-date remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities to be complete as of March 31, 2018.
