INCOME TAXES

NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of our deferred tax assets. Such determination is based primarily on our historical taxable income or loss, with some consideration given to our estimates of future taxable income or loss by jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets would be recoverable.

As of September 30, 2017, we have accrued $450,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters. None of this balance is expected to reduce the Company’s income tax expense if recognized.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

Balance at July 1, 2017	$	446
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		4
Balance at September 30, 2017	$	450

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits when applicable. As of September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, no interest or penalties applicable to our unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued since we have sufficient tax attributes available to fully offset any potential assessment of additional tax.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2014 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2013 and later. However, because of net operating losses and research credit carryovers, substantially all of our tax years are subject to audit. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
