8. INCOME TAXES

 

The Company’s results of operations for the prior year period (Q1 2018) included the impact of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among numerous provisions included in the new law was a reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% which resulted in a $0.8 million income tax benefit to the Company as reflected in our Statement of Operations for the three months ended December 2017. This prior period tax benefit primarily resulted from applying the new lower federal income tax rates to the Company’s net long term deferred tax liabilities recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheet.
