INCOME TAXES
INCOME TAXES	7. INCOME TAXES The Company’s results of operations for the nine months ended June 2018 included the impact of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) which was signed into law on December 22, 2017. Among numerous provisions included in the new law was a reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% which resulted in a $0.9 million income tax benefit to the Company as reflected in our Statement of Operations for the nine months ended June 2018. This tax benefit primarily resulted from applying the new lower federal income tax rates to the Company’s net long term deferred tax liabilities recorded on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. Because of the effective date of the new tax law in relation to the Company’s fiscal year (October 1st - September 30th), the Company’s fiscal 2018 results from operations will be taxed at a lower blended federal rate of approximately 24% for fiscal 2018, which reflects a portion of fiscal 2018 at the old federal tax rate and a portion of fiscal 2018 at the new federal tax rate. The final impact of Tax Reform may differ due to and among other things, changes in interpretations, assumptions made by the Company, the issuance of additional guidance, and actions Company may take as a result of Tax Reform.
