INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial statement reported amounts, and for net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company records a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than

not

that such asset will

not

be realized. The Company continues to monitor the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. If recovery is

not

likely, the Company must increase its provision for income taxes by recording a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the authoritative guidance on income taxes under which the Company

may

only recognize or continue to recognize tax positions that meet a "more likely than

not"

threshold. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the provision for income taxes.

As of

March 31, 2019,

the Company's total unrecognized tax benefits were approximately

$0.3

million, which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, when they occur, related to uncertain tax positions as a component of tax expense. There is

interest or penalties to be recognized for the

three

and

nine

months ended

March 31, 2019

2018.

The Company is required to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis. The Company recorded a tax provision of

$0.2

million and

$1.1

million for the

nine

months ended

March 31, 2019

and

2018,

respectively. The effective tax rate for the

nine

months ended

March 31, 2019

and

2018

differed from the statutory rate primarily due to the mix of non-deductible items. The effective tax rate could fluctuate in the future due to changes in the taxable income mix between various jurisdictions.

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal, various states, Canada and New Zealand tax jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company’s U.S. tax years

2014

through

2018

will remain open for examination by the federal and state authorities which is

three

and

four

years, respectively. The Company’s tax years from acquisition through

2018

remain open for examination by Canada and New Zealand authorities which is

four

years. As of

March 31, 2019,

there were

active taxing authority examinations.
