Income Taxes
Income Taxes	F. Income Taxes In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the Tax Act (“TCJA”), was signed into law. Among other things, the Tax Act permanently lowers the corporate federal income tax rate to 21% from the existing maximum rate of 35%, effective for tax years including or commencing January 1, 2018. As a result of the reduction of the corporate federal income tax rate to 21%, U.S. GAAP requires companies to revalue their deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of the date of enactment, with the resulting tax effects accounted for in the reporting period of enactment. This revaluation resulted in a provision of $97.5 million to income tax expense in continuing operations and a corresponding reduction in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2017. As a result, there was no impact to the Company’s income statement as a result of the reduction in tax rates. The Company’s preliminary estimate of the TCJA and the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities is subject to the finalization of management’s analysis related to certain matters, such as developing interpretations of the provisions of the TCJA, changes to certain estimates and the filing of its tax returns, including potential changes related to the impact of the TCJA provisions on executive compensation. U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions interpreting the TJCA may require further adjustments and changes in the Company’s estimates. The final determination of the TCJA and the remeasurement of the Company’s deferred assets and liabilities will be completed as additional information becomes available. At June 30, 2018, there has been no change in the provisional amount and the Company will continue to analyze and refine its calculations related to the measurement of these balances, which is to be completed no later than one year after the enactment of the TCJA.
