(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, 2021, the Company established a valuation allowance against all of its net deferred tax assets.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred pre-tax losses in the amount of $2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred pre-tax losses in the amount of $6.1 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

 

The 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 tax (“AMT”) credit previously paid. The CARES Act allows for the acceleration of the refundable AMT credit up to 100% of the AMT credit. In response to the impact of the CARES Act, the Company received the remaining AMT credit of $429 thousand for AMT previously paid during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Provision for Income Tax

 

The Company’s effective tax rate is 0% for income tax for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and the Company expects that its effective tax rate for the full fiscal year 2021 year will be 0%. Based on the weight of available evidence, including cumulative losses since inception and expected future losses, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that its U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets will not be realized and therefore a full valuation allowance has been provided on the U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets.

 

In general, if the Company experiences a greater than 50 percentage point aggregate change in ownership over a three-year period (a Section 382 ownership change), utilization of its pre-change net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards are subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Generally, U.S. state laws have laws similar to Internal Revenue Code Section 382. The annual limitation generally is determined by multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of such ownership change (subject to certain adjustments) by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Such limitations may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL carryforward before utilization.

 

The Company files U.S. federal and state income tax returns.  The Company is not currently subject to any income tax examinations. Since the Company’s inception, the Company had incurred losses from its U.S. operations, which generally allows all tax years to remain open to income tax examinations for all years for which there are loss carryforwards.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it becomes more likely than not, based upon the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. The Company currently has no unrecognized tax benefits and does not expect any material changes in the next 12 months in unrecognized tax benefits.
