Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income and other Taxes	Income and other Taxes For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of approximately $19,000 and $0.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded income tax benefit from discontinued operations of approximately $0 and $0.2 million, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded income tax expense from continuing operations of approximately $0.1 million and $22,000, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded income tax expense from discontinued operations of approximately $0 and $33,000, respectively. Income tax expense is comprised of estimated alternative minimum tax allocated between continuing operations and discontinued operations as prescribed by ASC 740 and foreign tax expense included within continuing operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was 0.8% and 12.9% , respectively. The lower tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to changes in the Company's estimated results in the current year as compared to the prior year. The higher tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily due to permanent differences, state tax benefits and foreign tax rate differentials. For the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the effective tax rate on continuing operations was 2.1% and 2.4%, respectively. The Company uses estimates to forecast the results from continuing operations for the current fiscal year as well as permanent differences between book and tax accounting. We have not provided for U.S. federal and state income taxes on non-U.S. subsidiaries' undistributed earnings as of June 30, 2017 because we plan to indefinitely reinvest the unremitted earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries. All deferred tax assets have a full valuation allowance at June 30, 2017. However, on a quarterly basis, the Company will evaluate the positive and negative evidence to assess whether the more likely than not criteria, mandated by ASC 740, has been satisfied in determining whether there will be further adjustments to the valuation allowance. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were no material increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits. As of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, we had approximately $0.3 million of interest and penalties accrued as tax liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s Board of Directors has adopted a Tax Benefits Preservation Plan (the “Rights Plan”) to help preserve the value of our net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards by reducing the risk of limitation of these deferred tax assets. The Rights Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders on March 10, 2015. The Rights Plan is intended to reduce the likelihood that the Company will experience an ownership change for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 382 by discouraging any person or group from becoming a “5% shareholder” or increasing their ownership of the Company’s common stock if they are already a “5% shareholder.”
