8.           Income Taxes

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various states and foreign jurisdictions.  With a few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2000.

The domestic and foreign components of income from continuing operations before income taxes are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Net Operating Losses ("NOLs")

As of June 30, 2020, we had U.S. federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $51,438,000 for income tax purposes, of which none expired in our fiscal year 2020, and the remainder expire at various dates through our fiscal year 2037; however, with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017, federal NOLs generated in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 now have no expiration date.  We recently completed an evaluation of the potential effect of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “IRC”) on our ability to utilize these NOLs.  The study concluded that we have not had an ownership change for the period from July 22, 1993 to June 30, 2020; therefore, the NOLs will not be subject to limitation under Section 382.  If we experience an ownership change as defined in Section 382 of the IRC, our ability to use these NOLs will be substantially limited, which could therefore significantly impair the value of that asset.

As of June 30, 2020, we had state NOLs of $22,856,000 and foreign NOLs of $8,258,000.  The state NOLs expire according to the rules of each state and expiration will occur at various dates through our fiscal year 2037.  The foreign NOLs expire according to the rules of each country.  As of June 30, 2020, the foreign NOLs can be carried forward indefinitely in each country, although some countries do restrict the amount of NOL that can be used in a given tax year.

Deferred Tax Assets and Related Valuation Allowances

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  In determining whether or not a valuation allowance for tax assets is needed, we evaluate all available evidence, both positive and negative, including: trends in operating income or losses; currently available information about future years; future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; taxable income in prior carryback years if carryback is permitted under the tax law; and tax planning strategies that would accelerate taxable amounts to utilize expiring carryforwards, change the character of taxable and deductible amounts from ordinary income or loss to capital gain or loss, or switch from tax-exempt to taxable investments.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.  As of June 30, 2020, we have released the valuation allowance on our U. S. deferred tax assets, with the exception of certain federal and state NOLs and credits expected to expire before usage.  We continue to maintain a full valuation allowance on our German deferred tax asset.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

We have evaluated our unrecognized tax benefits and determined that there has not been a material change in the amount of such benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2020.
