12. INCOME TAXES

On December 22, 2017, the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “Act”) was signed into law. Substantially all of the provisions of the Act are effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. The Act includes significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the “Code”), including amendments which significantly change the taxation of individuals and business entities. The Act contains numerous provisions impacting the Company, the most significant of which reduces the Federal corporate statutory tax rate from 34% to 21%.  

The staff of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has recognized the complexity of reflecting the impacts of the Act, and on December 22, 2017 issued guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which clarifies accounting for income taxes under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ASC (“ASC”) 740 if information is not yet available or complete and provides for up to a one year period in which to complete the required analyses and accounting (the measurement period). SAB 118 describes three scenarios (or “buckets”) associated with a company’s status of accounting for income tax reform: (1) a company is complete with its accounting for certain effects of tax reform, (2) a company is able to determine a reasonable estimate for certain effects of tax reform and records that estimate as a provisional amount, or (3) a company is not able to determine a reasonable estimate and therefore continues to apply ASC 740, based on the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately prior to the Act being enacted.

The various provisions under the Act deemed most relevant to the Company have been considered in preparation of its financial statements as of March 31, 2018. To the extent that clarifications or interpretations materialize in the future that would impact upon the effects of the Act incorporated into the March 31, 2018 financial statements, those effects will be reflected in the future as or if they materialize. 

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded income tax benefits of $2.1 million (substantially all deferred income taxes). For the nine months ended March 31, 2018 a tax provision of $6.5 million was recorded which included a charge of $6.6 million related to the tax rate reduction of the Act. The benefit and provision are based upon income (loss) before income taxes using an estimated annual effective income tax rate for the year ending June 30, 2018 of 2%, which was impacted by the effect of permanent differences.  The tax rate reduction related to the Act was treated as a discrete item in the tax provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. 

The accounting for deferred income taxes in the acquisition of Cantaloupe did not consider the potential effects of IRS Code Section 382 relating to the limitation on use of operating loss carryforwards created by Cantaloupe for its changes in ownership because the analysis required for such determination has not yet been completed. If upon completion of such analysis there are limitations on the use of operating loss carryforwards created by Cantaloupe totaling approximately $13.2 million, the potential effect would be to record a valuation allowance in the opening balance sheet, as well as a tax benefit to reverse the provision recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2017 related to the tax rate reduction of the Act for the deferred tax assets acquired.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, income tax provisions of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, (substantially all deferred income taxes) were recorded. The provisions are based upon income before income taxes using an estimated annual effective income tax rate of 31% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. The provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 consists of a charge for the tax effect of the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities which was treated discretely offset by a tax benefit based upon income before benefit for income taxes using the estimated annual effective income tax rate of 23% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. All of those warrants were exercised as of September 30, 2016.
