The Company renewed its revolving line of credit with a bank on March 31, 2018, and the total facility was increased from $10 million to $15 million, which gives the Company the ability to borrow up to $15 million limited by a borrowing base, as defined in the agreement for working capital and other general corporate needs in the ordinary course of business.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the 2017 Tax Cuts and Job Act (“Tax Reform”) which made significant changes to United States federal income tax law which affects the Company. Effective January 1, 2018, the US federal income tax rate is reduced to 21 percent from 35 percent. As a result, a tax benefit of the Company is included in the provision for income taxes to reflect the revaluation of the ending deferred tax asset balance as of March 31, 2018. In addition, the Company is in a full valuation position.
Tax Reform Legislation also provides for 100 percent bonus depreciation on personal tangible property expenditures through 2022. The bonus depreciation percentage is phased down from 100 percent beginning in 2023 through 2026.

Based on the Company’s preliminary assessment, the impact of these provisions are not expected to be material on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and consolidated financial statements. That being said, the ultimate impact of Tax Reform may differ from the Company’s estimates due to changes in the interpretations and assumptions made by the Company as well as additional regulatory guidance that may be issued.
There were no current or deferred income tax provisions for the years ended March 31, 2018 or 2017.
