Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $142 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to income tax benefit of $160 thousand in the same period of 2018 based on the loss for the periods. The income tax benefit for the six months ended March 31, 2019 was $140 thousand and tax expense for the same period of the prior year was $993 thousand due primarily to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The U.K. did not have any tax expense in the three months or six-months periods of fiscal year 2019 due to benefits from the pension contribution and utilization of a small portion of its net tax operating loss.

The provisions above are estimates, and accordingly, changes to these estimates will be recorded in subsequent periods as more information and guidance becomes available.
