NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted "An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018", which is commonly referred to as "The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act provides for comprehensive tax legislation that, among other things, reduces the U.S. federal statutory corporate tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0% effective January 1, 2018, broadens the U.S. federal income tax base, requires companies to pay a one-time repatriation tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred ("transition tax"), and creates new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings.

 

At July 31, 2019, the Company did not have any undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries. As a result, no additional income or withholding taxes were provided for, for the undistributed earnings or any additional outside basis differences inherent in the foreign entities. The Company reviewed the global intangible low taxed income ("GILTI") and base erosion anti-abuse tax ("BEAT) that became effective August 1, 2018 and has not recorded any impact associated with either.

 

At July 31, 2019, the Company had federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards from domestic operations of approximately $22.3 million to offset future taxable income. The Company has state NOLs of $3.2 million. The Company has NOL carryforwards from foreign operations of $1.2 million. As part of the Tax Act, federal NOLs generated in 2018 and later are not subject to an expiration period and are available to offset 80% of taxable income in the year in which they are utilized. The federal NOL carryforwards generated prior to 2018 will begin to expire in 2026. The state NOLs will begin to expire in 2038 and foreign NOLs do not expire.

 

The Company anticipates that its assumptions and estimates may change as a result of future guidance and interpretation from the Internal Revenue Service, the FASB, and various other taxing jurisdictions. In particular, the Company anticipates that the U.S. state jurisdictions will continue to determine and announce their conformity with or decoupling from the Tax Act, either in its entirety or with respect to specific provisions. Legislative and interpretive actions could result in adjustments to the Company's provisional estimates when the accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act is completed.
