Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of our deferred tax assets are as follows:

	June 30, 2019			June 30, 2018
Deferred tax asset:
Net operating losses	$	1,767,365		$	1,417,549
State tax		169			169
Intangibles		22,678			44,200
Tax credits		666,380			589,206
Inventory reserve		165,160			76,663
Other, net		44,853			48,687
Total deferred tax assets		2,666,605			2,176,474
Deferred tax liabilities:
Fixed asset		(25,100	)		(17,123	)
Total deferred tax liabilities		(25,100	)		(17,123	)
Less valuation allowance		(358,530	)		(305,922	)
Net deferred tax asset	$	2,282,975		$	1,853,429

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. We have evaluated the available evidence supporting the realization of our gross deferred tax assets, including the amount and timing of forecasted future taxable income. Management determined it is more likely than not that the federal deferred tax assets will be fully realized, and no valuation allowance is necessary as of June 30, 2019. Management also determined that certain state deferred tax assets required a partial valuation allowance as of June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, we have federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $5.6 million and no state net operating loss carryforwards. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), which was signed into law on December 22, 2017, the federal net operating loss recognized on or after January 1, 2018 will carry forward indefinitely. The federal net operating loss of $2.5 million, which recognized on or before December 31, 2017, will expire through 2035, and the federal net operating loss of $3.1 million recognized on or after January 1, 2018 will carry forward indefinitely. The utilization of net operating loss carryforwards may be subject to limitations under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions.

We apply the provisions of ASC 740 related to accounting for uncertain tax positions, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Under this provision, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. Tax benefits of an uncertain tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained based on technical merits.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of unrecognized tax benefits, which have been considered in the Company's computation of its deferred tax assets, is as follows:

Balance as of June 30, 2017	$	221,145
Gross increase		35,894
Relief of ASC 740 reserve/adjustment		(14,852	)
Balance as of June 30, 2018		242,187
Gross increase		33,075
Balance as of June 30, 2019	$	275,262

We do not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months. ASC 740 requires us to accrue interest and penalties where there is an underpayment of taxes based on our best estimate of the amount ultimately to be paid. Our policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits and penalties as income tax expense. We have not recorded any interest or penalties as the liability associated with the unrecognized tax benefits is immaterial. We are subject to taxation in the U.S., and various state and foreign jurisdictions.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The Act includes a provision to reduce federal corporate income tax rate to a flat 21% effective for a taxable year beginning on or after January 1, 2018. ASC 740 provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities be measured at the enacted tax rate expected to apply when the related temporary differences are to be realized or settled, and the related tax impact is recognized through continuing operation in the period in which tax legislation is enacted. Accordingly, the Company remeasures its deferred tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2018 and provides income tax provision of $661,629 through continuing operation section of the income statement.

The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act.  In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete.  To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record and provisional estimate in the financial statements. The Company has recognized the provisional tax impacts related to the Tax Act in its financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2018.
