10. INCOME TAXES

 

On December 22, 2017, tax reform legislation known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Legislation”) was enacted in the United States (the “U.S.”). The Tax Legislation significantly revises the U.S. corporate income tax by lowering the statutory corporate tax rate to 21%, among other changes.

 

The Company has preliminarily accounted for the effects of the Tax Legislation and estimate that our effective tax rate for 2018 will be approximately 1% because we expect that our taxable income for 2018 will be fully offset by net operating loss carry forwards and the only tax obligation will be for state-level alternative minimum taxes. Due to uncertainties in estimating our taxable income after 2018, we cannot determine that it is more likely than not that net operating loss carry forwards and other deferred tax assets will be utilized after 2018.

 

Our income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $40,000, and was $0 for the three months ended June 30, 2017.
