AUC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1: ORGANIZATION

 

AUC Acquisition Holdings, LLC (individually, “AUC Acquisition”, and collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on September 14, 2015.  AUC Acquisition wholly owns AUC Holdings Corp. (“AUC Holdings”).  AUC Holdings wholly owns (i) the limited partnership interests in AUC Group, L.P. (“AUC LP”), a Texas limited partnership, (ii) AUC Management, L.L.C. (“AUC LLC”), a Texas limited liability company and the general partner of AUC LP, and (iii) Carl R. Baker, Inc., dba Gaylord Investment Company and Gaylord Environmental (“Gaylord”), a Texas corporation.  The Company designs, fabricates and installs wastewater treatment plants which may be sold to customers for cash or pursuant to financing arrangements. The Company also leases owned plants to customers for a contractual term and provides contract services for general site development and installation of the wastewater treatment plants.  The Company’s customers are municipal utility districts, government units or developers.

 

The Company is managed by a Board of Managers selected in accordance with the AUC Acquisition LLC Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) and members are generally unable to bind the Company.  Except as may be required by law or expressly provided in the LLC Agreement, no member shall be personally liable for the liabilities or debts of the Company or be required to lend or contribute funds to the Company.  The Company shall continue in existence in perpetuity.

 

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

This summary of significant accounting policies of the Company is presented to assist in understanding the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are the representations of management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  The accounting policies reflect industry practices, which conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Basis of Accounting and Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AUC Holdings and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnotes normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto.

 

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2018, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the unaudited

-  7  -


 

AUC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 was based on the audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash in banks and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at time of purchase. Restricted cash consists of escrow amounts required by a contractual agreement set aside for the payment of amounts due to prior owners.

 

Revenue and Cost Recognition

 

The Company recognizes services and contract revenue using the percentage of completion method, measured by the percentage of cost incurred to date to estimated total cost for each contract. That method is used because management considers total cost to be the best available measure of progress on the contracts.  Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools and repairs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred, including advertising costs.  Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term. Revisions in cost and revenue estimates are reflected in the accounting period in which facts that require the revision become known.  If estimated total cost on a contract exceeds estimated total revenue on that contract, the Company recognizes the loss currently.

 

The length of the Company’s contracts varies but are typically less than one year.  Therefore, assets and liabilities are generally classified as current because the contract related items in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet have realization and liquidation periods not extending beyond one year, except as described in Notes 4 and 5.  The asset, “Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts,” represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability, “Billings in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts” represents billings in excess of revenue recognized.

 

The Company recognizes rental revenue from leasing activities on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms.  Rents received in advance of the lease period are recorded as advance rent payments.  Deposits received under leasing arrangements are reflected as a lease deposit liability in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In certain circumstances, lease payments due from customers include components for the financing of Company services and the lease rental of the plant equipment.  In all such cases, the services are completed prior to the rent commencement of the lease.  Revenue from the services is recognized following the percentage of completion method or upon completion if minimal time is required to complete the project. The revenue from the two components is allocated between the service component and the lease rental based on management’s estimate of the relative values of such activities at the inception of the contract.  Cancellation or termination provisions are delineated in normal contract provisions and do not differ from those where services and leasing activities are separately contracted.

AUC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Interest from financing receivables is recognized by the interest method using a constant periodic rate over the financing period.  Accrual of interest income is suspended if credit quality indicators suggest full collection of principal and interest is doubtful.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provides an allowance when collection becomes doubtful.  Allowances are made based upon a specific review of all outstanding invoices.  Any receivables determined to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, no allowance was considered necessary for rentals, contracts and financing receivables.  During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred no bad debt expense.

 

Credit Quality of Financing Receivables

 

All financing receivables are principally with municipal utility districts and are current with respect to payments.  Financing receivables are considered past due if payment is not made within 30 days of the date due.  Receivables are considered nonperforming and are moved to nonaccrual status once it is likely that the Company will not collect all of the principal and interest contractually required by the financing agreement.  None of the financing receivables are on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

The Company monitors the credit quality of its financing receivables by monitoring the payment history of each debtor or through direct communication with the respective municipal utility district’s attorney regarding when payment will be expected.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists principally of equipment parts used to fabricate wastewater treatment plants.  Inventory is stated at the lower of actual cost based on the specific identification method or net realizable value.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at acquisition cost. The Company provides for depreciation utilizing the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years.  Expenditures for additions, major renewals and betterments are capitalized, and expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against income as incurred.  When property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income from operations.

 

Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the recorded cost may not be recoverable.  Management believes no impairment has occurred with respect to property and equipment at June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the fair value of consideration transferred to acquire an entity over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired.  Goodwill has an indefinite life and is not amortized; however, goodwill will

-  9  -


 

AUC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

be subject to an impairment assessment at least annually. The Company has assessed various qualitative factors to determine whether it was necessary to perform a goodwill impairment test. If, from an evaluation of these qualitative factors, it was determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than the carrying value of goodwill, an impairment test would be performed. Based on the results of the assessment, the Company concluded that the more likely than not criteria was not met and no impairment testing was necessary for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

The Company’s identifiable intangible assets consist of lease contracts and service backlog. Identifiable intangible assets with defined lives are amortized over their useful lives, with no residual value.  The Company has no identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives.

 

Management of the Company reviews intangible assets for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on the undiscounted future cash flows of the asset. There was no impairment for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Deferred Loan Costs

 

Deferred loan costs and related amortization expense are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. The unamortized costs are a direct deduction from the face amount of the debt. Deferred loan cost amortization is included with interest expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

Deferred loan costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. Amortization of deferred financing costs totaled $189,631 and $31,434 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Fair Value Considerations

 

The Company uses fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually).  Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  The fair value hierarchy established and prioritized fair value measurements into three levels based on the nature of the inputs.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to inputs based on market data from independent sources (observable inputs-Level 1) and the lowest priority to a reporting entity’s internal assumptions based upon the best information available when external market data is limited or unavailable (unobservable inputs-Level 3).

 

The fair value option allows entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value that are not otherwise required to be measured at fair value.  If an entity elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in that item’s fair value in subsequent reporting periods must be recognized in current earnings.  The Company did not elect the fair value option for the measurement of any eligible assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial instruments (primarily cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and debt) are carried in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at amounts which reasonably approximate fair value.

 

Income Taxes

 

AUC Acquisition is a limited liability company recognized as a partnership for income tax purpose. Accordingly, federal income taxes on taxable income of AUC Acquisition is payable by the members individually and no provision for federal income taxes is included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

AUC Holdings, AUC LP and Gaylord are considered “C” Corporations and use the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income taxes are recognized based on the differences between the financial statement and income tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.  The provision for income tax represents the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

 

AUC Holdings, AUC LP and Gaylord are subject to Texas franchise tax, commonly referred to as the Texas margin tax, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.  Accordingly, a provision and liability for state income tax has been included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Amounts due from prior owner as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 represent the estimated amount of federal and state income taxes payable by AUC Holdings for periods prior to its acquisition by AUC Acquisition on October 16, 2015.

 

The Company applies a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties.  Accordingly, only those tax benefits that have a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities are recognized.  The Company‘s management has reviewed the Company’s tax positions and determined there were no significant outstanding or retroactive tax positions with less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities.

 

Based on its evaluation, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s evaluation was performed with respect to itself and the predecessor tax activities of AUC Holdings, as applicable, for the tax periods ended December 31, 2013 through June 30, 2018 for U.S. Federal and applicable states, the tax periods which principally remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of June 30, 2018.  Any liability associated with tax uncertainties of AUC Holdings prior to the acquisition by AUC Acquisition are subject to indemnification by the prior owners.

 

Estimates

 

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires inclusion of cash and cash equivalents that have restrictions on withdrawal or use in total cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. The Company now presents the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows and no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash investments in the statement of cash flows. Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash stated in the consolidated statement of cash flows represent the addition of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash classified as current and non-current line items in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The adoption did not have any impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets or unaudited condensed statements of operations.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires presentation of deferred income tax liabilities and assets as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2017. Accordingly, all deferred income taxes are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as long‐term assets or liabilities.  This change in accounting principle had the effect of reclassifying $23,700 from current deferred income tax liability to long-term deferred income tax liability.  The adoption did not have any impact on the consolidated statement of operations or cash flows.

 

Recent Financial Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2016‐02, Leases (Topic 842), the new standard on lease accounting. Under the new ASU, lessees will recognize lease assets and liabilities on their balance sheet for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The new lessee accounting model retains two types of leases and is consistent with the lessee accounting model under existing accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. One type of lease (finance leases) will be accounted for in substantially the same manner as capital leases are accounted for today. The other type of lease (operating leases) will be accounted for (both in the income statement and statement of cash flows) in a manner consistent with today’s operating leases. Lessor accounting under the new standard is fundamentally consistent with existing U.S. GAAP.

 

Lessees and lessors would be required to provide additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures to help financial statement users assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures are intended to supplement the amounts recorded in the financial statements so that users can understand more about the nature of an organization’s leasing activities.

 

For non‐public entities, the final leases standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. Management has not early adopted, nor evaluated the impact on future accounting periods.

 

FASB issued ASU 2014‐09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or

-  12  -

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

services. In August 2015, the FASB issued updated guidance with ASU 2015‐14 and deferred the effective date of ASU 2014‐09 by one year. The guidance in ASU 2014‐09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that further clarifies guidance under ASU 2014‐09 with respect to principal versus agent considerations in revenue from contracts with customers. In the second quarter of 2016, the FASB issued two ASUs that provide additional guidance when identifying performance obligations and licenses as well as allowing for certain narrow scope improvements and practical expedients. In May 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that provides guidance on the identification of the customer in a service concession arrangement. The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (modified retrospective).

 

The Company plans to adopt this new guidance on a full retrospective basis on January 1, 2019 applying the guidance to all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2019. Results for periods beginning after January 1, 2019 will be adjusted to conform to the adopted guidance while periods prior to January 1, 2019 will continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior periods.

 

The impacts of the adoption on the Company’s primary sources of revenue and related costs are as follows:

 

Services and contract revenue. Services and contract revenue includes services related to the construction of wastewater treatment plants, which includes both equipment sales and installation services, and installation services related to the leasing of modular wastewater treatment plants. For the construction of wastewater treatment plants, the Company has historically accounted for these contracts on a percentage of completion basis as services are performed. Revenue recognition begins as costs are incurred on the construction of the wastewater treatment plant, which is typically prior to the delivery of the equipment to the customer site. Under ASC 606, the Company determined that the equipment sales and installation services are considered a single performance obligation as the installation services are not considered distinct in the context of the agreement and are integral to the functionality of the equipment. Revenues for the construction of wastewater treatment plants is recognized as revenue as the construction is performed, using the input method, which typically begins once the equipment is delivered to the customer site, which is the point at which control of the wastewater treatment plant construction has been transferred to the customer.  As a result, the timing of revenue recognition under ASC 606 will commence at a later date than under the previous revenue recognition standard.

 

Installation services related to the leasing of modular wastewater treatment plants can be both embedded within a lease agreement or explicit in a separate contract with a third party. For contracts where the installation services are embedded within a lease agreement, the Company has historically allocated the revenue under the contract based on the relative fair value of the installation services and lease of equipment. The Company determined the installation services were a non-lease component of the contract with revenues being recognized on a percentage of completion basis as services are performed. Long-term receivables, which were established for the revenue recognized for the non-lease component, were amortized over the lease term as the cash from the customer was received and allocated. Revenues allocated to the lease component were recognized over the lease term. Under ASC 606, the Company determined the installation services embedded within a lease agreement, which are performed prior to lease commencement, do not meet the definition of a separate performance obligation as the services are not capable of being distinct within the context of the agreement. As a result, the Company will account for the

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

installation services as a component of the lease and revenues for the entire contract, including both the installation and lease of equipment, will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

Contract Costs. Historically, AUC has not recognized initial direct costs for contracts. Upon the adoption of ASC 606 and the conclusions reached with respect to installation services embedded within a lease agreement, the costs related to the installation services were determined to be an initial direct cost of the contract and, as a result, should be deferred and amortized over the initial term of the lease. The initial direct costs generally include contracted services, direct labor, materials, and allocable overhead directly related to resources required to install the related wastewater treatment equipment.

Credit risk associated with outstanding receivables is measured on an individual contract basis.  To reduce the potential for risk concentration, the Company, to the extent possible, ascertains that funds have been escrowed and are available for payment before entering into an agreement.  In the event of nonpayment or dispute, the Company has contractual rights and remedies available to collect amounts due.  Furthermore, a mechanics lien can be filed against the property in most cases on a basis consistent with industry practice and state law.

NOTE 7: DEBT

 

Bank Loan Agreement

 

AUC Holdings has various loan agreements with a financial institution (the “Loan Agreement”) that provides for a $22 million term loan, a $5 million guidance line of credit and a $1 million revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2017.  As a result of an amendment in November 2017, borrowings under the initial guidance line of credit ceased and were converted to a term note (the “Guidance Term Note”) and a new $5 million guidance line of credit was provided.

 

The $22 million term loan is repayable in monthly installments of principal of $183,333 plus interest with the balance due at final maturity in November 2021.  Amounts borrowed under this agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the 1-month LIBOR plus 2.50% to 2.75%, depending upon the company’s leverage ratio, as defined by the Loan Agreement (4.48% as of June 30, 2018).  The balance due under the term loan totaled $18,516,667 and $19,616,667 as of June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

The Guidance Term Note is repayable in fixed monthly payments of principal and interest based on a 120-month amortization period through maturity in November 2021.  Interest is payable at a fixed annual rate of 4.25% (4.25% at June 30, 2018). As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, $2,508,640 and $2,612,633 was due under the Guidance Term Note.

 

The new $5 million guidance line of credit is used to finance the acquisition or construction of wastewater treatment plants and draws are available from February 2018 to February 2019.  Any borrowings under the guidance line of credit bear interest only payments due monthly through March 2019.  Thereafter, principal and interest is due in monthly payments based on a 120-month amortization period through maturity in February 2023, at which time any remaining balance is due  This guidance line of credit accrues interest at a rate equal to the 1-month LIBOR plus 2.75% (4.73% at June 30, 2018). The balance due under the guidance line of credit totaled $2,250,000 as of June 30, 2018.

AUC Acquisition Holdings, LLC and Subsidiaries

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

In 2017, the Company amended the revolving line of credit to extend its maturity to November 2018. The amount available to the Company under this revolving line of credit is for working capital and in support of letters of credit up to a maximum of $1 million. In May 2018, the line of credit was reduced to $250,000. Interest only on amounts outstanding is payable monthly through final maturity, at which time all amounts are due.  The interest accrues at the rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 2.75% (4.73% at June 30, 2018).  No amounts were borrowed under the revolving line of credit as of June 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company was required to refinance its subordinated loan during 2018 or otherwise extend the term of the subordinated loan. The Company and the bank entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement on May 3, 2018 that provides a term loan for $15 million to refinance the subordinated debt.  The new term loan is payable in monthly principal installments ranging from $125,000 to $250,000 through maturity in May 2023.  Amounts borrowed under this agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the 1-month LIBOR plus 2.50% to 2.75%, depending upon the Company’s leverage ratio, as defined by the Loan Agreement (4.73% as of June 30, 2018).  As of June 30, 2018, $14,875,000 was due under this term loan.

Subordinated Loan Agreement

 

During 2017, the Company also maintained a $15 million senior subordinated loan from a member.  This loan was subordinate to amounts borrowed pursuant to the Loan Agreement.  Interest was payable monthly through maturity in April 2021, at which time all amounts were due. Interest accrued at a per annum rate equal to 12%, however, on

the date of each scheduled payment of interest in respect of the subordinated loan, the borrowers were only required to pay in cash an amount of interest equal to 10% per annum and the remaining 2%, if not paid, accrued on the unpaid principal balance and payment was deferred until maturity date.  The balance due under the subordinated loan totaled $15,000,000 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017.  In May 2018, the senior subordinated loan was paid in full by a term note with the Company’s financial institution lender.  Interest on the subordinated note for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2018 approximated $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The subordinated loan was secured by a second priority lien on substantially all assets of the Company and guarantees by AUC Acquisition, AUC Holdings, AUC LP, AUC LLC and Gaylord.

 

Compliance

 

Both the Loan Agreement and the subordinated loan agreement, prior to repayment, required AUC Holdings to comply with certain financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum debt service coverage ratio.  As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, AUC Holdings was in compliance with those covenants.

 

Other Note Payable

 

The Company has a note payable to Ford Motor Credit Company for $62,856 as of December 31, 2017.  This note is secured by a vehicle and payable in monthly installments.  The note was fully repaid in 2018 and, accordingly, is classified as a current liability.

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation known as the H.R. 1, commonly referred to as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“TCJ Act”), resulting in significant modifications to existing law. Among other changes, the TCJ Act permanently lowers the corporate federal income tax rate to 21% from the existing maximum rate of 35% effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. As a result of the reduction of the corporate federal income tax rate, net deferred tax assets were revalued as of December 31, 2017 and the Company recorded an income tax benefit of approximately $1.5 million  related to the TCJ Act in December 2017. The other provisions of the TCJ Act are not expected to have a material impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
