For each of the years ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have unrecognized tax benefits, and therefore no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were accrued. Management does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly within the next twelve months.

The Company mainly files income tax returns in the United States and the UK. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax examination by tax authorities for tax years beginning in 2013.   The UK tax returns for the Company’s UK subsidiaries are open to examination by the UK tax authorities for the tax years beginning in April 1, 2010.

The Company has net operating losses (NOLs) of approximately $4.5million at March 31, 2016. These NOLs may be carried forward indefinitely.
