(11) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. As of March 31, 2020, the Company established a valuation allowance against all of its net deferred tax assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred pre-tax losses in the amount of $2.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company incurred pre-tax losses in the amount of $6.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The total effective tax rate was approximately 0% for the each of the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

For each of the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the valuation allowance placed against its net deferred tax assets. 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provided certain tax relief measures including the acceleration of the alternative minimum credit previously paid. The CARES Act allows for the acceleration of the refundable AMT credit up to 100% of the AMT credit. In connection with its analysis of the impact of the CARES Act and pursuant to filing the Form 1139, the Company has reclassed the refundable AMT credit of $429K from long-term to short-term receivable and recorded no income tax effects on the other tax relief measures of the CARES Act.

FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in an entity’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefit for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

Loss carryovers are generally subject to modification by tax authorities until three years after they have been utilized; as such, the Company is subject to examination for the fiscal years ended 2000 through present for federal purposes and fiscal years ended 2006 through present for state purposes. The reason for this extended examination period is due to the utilization of the loss carryovers generated by the sale of our Astrotech Space Operations business unit in fiscal year 2015.
