quarters
ended
September 30, 2018

. For a discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2018
.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains zero-balance disbursement accounts at various financial institutions at which the Company does not maintain significant depository relationships. Due to the terms of the agreements governing these accounts, the Company generally does not have the right to offset outstanding checks written from these accounts against cash on hand, and the respective institutions are not legally obligated to honor the checks until sufficient funds are transferred to fund the checks. As a result, checks released but not yet cleared from these accounts in the amounts of
$23.2 million
and
$5.7 million
are included in accounts payable as of
September 30, 2018
and
June 30, 2018
, respectively.
Long-lived Assets
The Company presents depreciation expense and intangible amortization expense individually on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. The Company's depreciation expense related to selling, general and administrative costs totaled
$3.3 million
and
$3.2 million
for the
quarters
ended
September 30, 2018
and
2017
. Depreciation expense reported as part of cost of goods sold on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements totaled
$1.0 million
and
$0.6 million
for the
quarters
ended
September 30, 2018
and
2017
. There was no depreciation expense reported as part of cost of goods sold prior to the acquisition of POS Portal on July 31, 2017. The Company's amortization expense reported on the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements relate to selling, general and administrative costs, not the cost of selling goods. Intangible amortization expense totaled
$5.0 million
for the
quarters
ended
September 30, 2018
and
2017
.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard for contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606). In March, April, May and December 2016 the FASB issued additional ASUs to provide supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU 2014-09. The core principle of this standard 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 services. To achieve this core principle, the standard provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include the capitalization and amortization of certain contract costs, ensuring the time value of money is considered in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. This guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The Company adopted the standard on July 1, 2018 using the full retrospective method. The adoption of this standard had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. See Note 2 Revenue Recognition for additional information.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
requiring lessees to reflect most leases on their balance sheets and recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current guidance. Under the new guidance, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The asset will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee's initial direct costs. For leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, as long as the lease does not include options to purchase the underlying assets, lessees can elect not to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged, and the accounting for sale and leaseback transactions is simplified. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. The guidance can be adopted using a modified retrospective approach or a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance sheet of retained earnings in the period of adoption for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)
intended to reduce diversity in practice of how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The update addresses eight specific cash flow issues, with the treatment of contingent consideration payments made after a business combination being the most directly applicable to the Company. The update requires that cash payments made approximately three months or less after an acquisition's consummation date should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities. Payment made thereafter up to the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from financing activities. Payments made in excess of the amount of the original contingent consideration liability should be classified as cash outflows from operating activities. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the standard for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018 using the retrospective transition method. There was no impact to the previously reported cash flow statement for fiscal year 2018. For fiscal year 2019, the Company classified the amount of the Intelisys earnout payment paid in the September quarter that was in excess of the originally anticipated liability at the acquisition date as an operating cash outflow.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12,
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)
that amends and simplifies guidance related to hedge accounting to more accurately portray the economics of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. This guidance will be applicable to the Company for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. The guidance requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach. The presentation and disclosure requirements apply prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of this new guidance.
In August 2018, the FASB issued
ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
. The pronouncement eliminates, modifies and adds disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is applicable to the Company’s fiscal year beginning July 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has reviewed other newly issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they are either not applicable to its business or that no material effect is expected on its consolidated financial statements as a result of future adoption.
(2) Revenue Recognition
The Company provides technology solutions and services from the world's leading suppliers of POS, payments, barcode, physical security, unified communications and collaboration and telecom and cloud services. This includes terminals, related accessories, device configuration as well as software licenses, professional services and hardware support programs.
The Company adopted ASC 606 effective July 1, 2018 utilizing the full retrospective method. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to recognize, the Company applies the following five-step model: (i) identify contracts with customers; (ii) identify performance obligations in the contracts; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations per the contracts; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue as control of products and services are transferred to customers, which is generally at the point of shipment. The Company delivers products to customers in several ways, including: (i) shipment from the Company's warehouse, (ii) drop-shipment directly from the supplier, or (iii) electronic delivery for software licenses.
Significant Judgments:
Principal versus Agent Considerations
The Company is the principal for all hardware, software and certain services, including self-branded warranty programs, sold as the Company has control of the product or service before it is transferred to the customer. When the Company provides self-branded warranty programs, it engages a third party, generally the original equipment manufacturer, to cover the fulfillment of any obligations arising from these contracts. These revenues and associated third-party costs are amortized over the life of the contract on a straight-line basis. The Company recognizes the previously described revenue and cost of goods sold on a gross basis.
The Company is the agent for third-party service contracts, including product warranties and supplier-hosted software. These service contracts are sold separately from the products, and the Company often serves as the agent for the contract on behalf of the original equipment manufacturer. The Company's responsibility is to arrange for the provision of the specified service by the original equipment manufacturer and the Company does not control the specified service before it is transferred to the customer. As the Company acts as an agent, revenue is recognized net of cost at the time of sale.
Related to the Company’s Intelisys business, the Company acts as a master agent partnering suppliers with sales agents to provide telecom and cloud services to end-users. Commission revenue received from the supplier is recognized net of cost associated with commissions the Company pays to sales agents at the time of sale.
Variable Considerations
For certain transactions, products are sold with a right of return and may also provide other rebates or incentives, which are accounted for as variable consideration. The Company estimates the amount of variable consideration by using the expected value or the most likely amount to be given to the customer and reduces the revenue by those estimated amounts. These estimates are reviewed and updated as necessary at the end of each reporting period.
Contract Balances
The Company records contract assets and liabilities for payments received from customers in advance of services performed. These assets and liabilities are the result of the sales of the Company's self-branded warranty programs and other transactions where control has not yet passed to the customer. These amounts are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.
Practical Expedients & Accounting Policy Elections
|
|
•
|
Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
- These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses as the amortization period is generally one year or less. The Company expenses costs associated with obtaining and fulfilling contracts as incurred.
|
|
|
•
|
Shipping costs
- The Company accounts for certain shipping and handling activities as fulfillment costs and expenses them as incurred.
|
|
|
•
|
Significant financing components
- The Company has elected not to adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component as the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when
|
the entity transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will generally be one year or less.

(5) Acquisitions
Canpango and Intelisys Global
During the quarter ended
September 30, 2018
, the Company completed the acquisition of Canpango, a global Salesforce implementation and consulting business with deep knowledge of customer relationship management (CRM) and integration with telecom systems and the acquisition of Intelisys Global. The total combined purchase price for both companies, net of cash acquired, was approximately
$13.2 million
. The impact of these acquisitions was not material to the consolidated financial statements. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired, including the valuation of the identifiable intangible assets, has not been concluded as of the reporting date.
POS Portal
On
July 31, 2017
, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of POS Portal, Inc. ("POS Portal"), a leading provider of payment devices and services primarily to the small and midsized ("SMB") market segment in the United States. POS Portal joined the Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security segment.
Under the purchase agreement, the all-cash transaction included an initial purchase price of approximately
$144.9 million
paid in cash at closing. The Company paid an additional
$3.4 million
for customary closing adjustments during the six months ended December 31, 2017. The Company acquired
$4.6 million
in cash, net of debt payoff and other customary closing adjustments, resulting in
$143.8 million
net cash paid for POS Portal. The agreement also included a cash earn-out payment up to
$13.2 million
based on POS Portal's earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the trailing twelve months (TTM) ending September 30, 2017, which was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. A portion of the purchase price was placed into escrow to indemnify the Company for certain pre-acquisition damages. As of
September 30, 2018
, the balance available in escrow was
$13.1 million
.
The purchase price of this acquisition was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the transaction date. Purchase accounting for this acquisition was finalized during the December quarter. The goodwill balance is primarily attributed to expanding the Company's high-value capabilities and market reach across all payment channels. Goodwill, identifiable intangible assets and the related deferred tax liability are not deductible for tax purposes. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented for the acquisition of POS Portal because such results are not material to our consolidated results.

Revolving Credit Facility
The Company has a multi-currency senior secured revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of banks (the “Amended Credit Agreement”). On April 3, 2017, the Company amended this credit facility to extend its maturity to
April 3, 2022
. On August 8, 2017, the Company amended the Amended Credit Agreement to increase the committed credit facility from
$300 million
to
$400 million
. The Amended Credit Agreement allows for the issuance of up to
$50 million
for letters of credit and has a
$200 million
accordion feature that allows the Company to increase the availability to
$600 million
, subject to obtaining additional credit commitments from the lenders participating in the increase. The Company incurred
$0.9 million
and
$0.3 million
in connection with the amendments to the Amended Credit Agreement on April 3, 2017 and
August 8, 2017
, respectively. These costs were capitalized to other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and added to the unamortized debt issuance costs from the previous credit facility.
At the Company's option, loans denominated in U.S. dollars under the Amended Credit Agreement, other than swingline loans, bear interest at a rate equal to a spread over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or alternate base rate depending upon the Company's ratio of total debt (excluding accounts payable and accrued liabilities), measured as of the end of the most recent quarter, to adjusted earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for the most recently completed four quarters (the "Leverage Ratio"). This spread ranges from
1.00%
to
2.125%
for LIBOR-based loans and
0.00%
to
1.125%
for alternate base rate loans. Additionally, the Company is assessed commitment fees ranging from
0.175%
to
0.35%
, depending upon the Leverage Ratio, on non-utilized borrowing availability, excluding swingline loans. Borrowings are guaranteed by substantially all of the domestic assets of the Company and a pledge of up to
65%
of capital stock or other equity interest in certain foreign subsidiaries determined to be either material or a subsidiary borrower as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.
At
September 30, 2018
, the spread in effect was
1.625%
for LIBOR-based loans and
0.625%
for alternate base rate loans. The commitment fee rate in effect as of
September 30, 2018
was
0.25%
. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility as of
September 30, 2018
.
The average daily outstanding balance during the
three
month periods ended
September 30, 2018
and
2017
was
$265.4 million
and
$218.5 million
, respectively. There was
$123.2 million
and
$156.0 million
available for additional borrowings as of
September 30, 2018
and
June 30, 2018
, respectively. There were
no
letters of credit issued under the multi-currency revolving credit facility as of
September 30, 2018
and
June 30, 2018
.
Long-Term Debt
On
August 1, 2007
, the Company entered into an agreement with the State of Mississippi to provide financing for the acquisition and installation of certain equipment to be utilized at the Company’s Southaven, Mississippi warehouse, through the issuance of an industrial development revenue bond. The bond matures on
September 1, 2032
and accrues interest at the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a spread of
0.85%
. The terms of the bond allow for payment of interest only for the first
10
years of the agreement, and then, starting on September 1, 2018 through 2032, principal and interest payments are due until the maturity date or the redemption of the bond. The agreement also provides the bondholder with a put option, exercisable only within
180
days of each fifth anniversary of the agreement, requiring the Company to pay back the bonds at
100%
of the principal amount outstanding. As of
September 30, 2018
, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under this bond. The interest rate at
September 30, 2018
and
June 30, 2018
was
2.970%
and
2.855%
, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs
As of
September 30, 2018
, net debt issuance costs associated with the credit facility and bond totaled
$1.2 million
and are being amortized on a straight-line basis through the maturity date of each respective debt instrument.
(8) Derivatives and Hedging Activities
In an effort to manage the exposure to foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, the Company periodically enters into various derivative instruments. The Company’s accounting policies for these instruments are based on whether the instruments are designated as hedge or non-hedge instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments and the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges designated as hedging instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense.
Foreign Currency Derivatives
– The Company conducts a portion of its business internationally in a variety of foreign currencies. The exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities and transactions arising from non-functional currency financing or trading activities. The Company’s objective is to preserve the economic value of non-functional currency-denominated cash flows. The Company attempts to hedge transaction exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through forward contracts or other hedging instruments with third parties. These contracts hedge the exchange of various currencies, including the U.S. dollar, Brazilian real, euro, British pound, Canadian dollar, Mexican peso, Chilean peso, Colombian peso, Peruvian nuevo sol and South African rand. While the Company utilizes foreign exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure, the Company's foreign exchange policy prohibits the use of derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The Company had contracts outstanding for purposes of managing cash flows with notional amounts of
$87.4 million
and
$74.6 million
for the exchange of foreign currencies as of
September 30, 2018
and
June 30, 2018
, respectively. To date, the Company has chosen not to designate these derivatives as hedging instruments, and accordingly, these instruments are adjusted to fair value through earnings in other income and expense. Summarized financial information related to these derivative contracts and changes in the underlying value of the foreign currency exposures are as follows:

Net foreign exchange gains and losses consist of foreign currency transactional and functional currency re-measurements, offset by net foreign currency exchange contract gains and losses and are included in other (income) expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statements. Foreign exchange gains and losses are generated as the result of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Brazilian real, the U.S. dollar versus the euro, the British pound versus the euro and other currencies versus the U.S. dollar.
Interest Rates -
The Company's earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on interest expense from floating rate debt instruments. To manage the exposure, the Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of
$50.0 million
scheduled to mature on
April 3, 2022
. This swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge to hedge the variable rate interest payments on the revolving credit facility. Interest rate differentials paid or received under the swap agreement are recognized as adjustments to interest expense. To the extent the swap is effective in offsetting the variability of the hedged cash flows, changes in the fair value of the swap are not included in current earnings but are reported as other comprehensive income (loss). There was
no
ineffective portion to be recorded as an adjustment to earnings for the
quarters
ended
September 30, 2018
and
2017
.
The components of the cash flow hedge included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of income taxes, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are as follows:

(9) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Under this guidance, the Company classifies certain assets and liabilities based on the fair value hierarchy, which aggregates fair value measured assets and liabilities based upon the following levels of inputs:
|
|
•
|
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity).
|
The assets and liabilities maintained by the Company that are required to be measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis include the Company’s various debt instruments, deferred compensation plan investments, outstanding forward foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements and contingent consideration owed to the previous owners of Network1 and Intelisys. The carrying value of debt is considered to approximate fair value, as the Company’s debt instruments are indexed to a variable rate using the market approach (Level 2 criteria).

The investments in the deferred compensation plan are held in a rabbi trust and include mutual funds and cash equivalents for payment of non-qualified benefits for certain retired, terminated and active employees. These investments are recorded to prepaid expenses and other current assets or other non-current assets depending on their corresponding, anticipated distribution dates to recipients, which are reported in accrued expenses and other current liabilities or other long-term non-current liabilities, respectively.
Derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts, are measured using the market approach on a recurring basis considering foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers and interest rates quoted by banks (Level 2). See Note 8 -
Derivatives and Hedging Activities
. Fair values of interest rate swaps are measured using standard valuation models with inputs that can be derived from observable market transactions, including LIBOR spot and forward rates (Level 2). Foreign currency contracts and interest rate swap agreements are classified in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued expenses and other current liabilities, depending on the respective instruments' favorable or unfavorable positions.
The Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities at the acquisition date of Network1, Intelisys and POS Portal representing the amounts payable to former shareholders, as outlined under the terms of the purchase agreements, based upon the achievement of a projected earnings measure, net of specific pro forma adjustments. The contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of POS Portal was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The current and non-current portions of these obligations are reported separately on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the contingent considerations (Level 3) are determined using a form of a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities are recorded to the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. Fluctuations due to foreign currency translation are captured in other comprehensive income through the changes in foreign currency translation adjustments line item as seen in Note 4 -
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
.
POS Portal is part of the Company's Worldwide Barcode, Networking & Security Segment. Network1 and Intelisys are part of the Company's Worldwide Communications & Services segment.

The fair values of amounts owed are recorded in current portion of contingent consideration and long-term portion of contingent consideration in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The U.S. dollar amounts of actual disbursements made in connection with the future earnout payment for Network1 are subject to change as the liability is denominated in Brazilian real and subject to foreign exchange fluctuation risk. The Company will revalue the contingent consideration liabilities at each reporting date through the last payment, with changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration reflected in the change in fair value of contingent consideration line item on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Income Statements that is included in the calculation of operating income. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities associated with future earnout payments is based on several factors, including:
|
|
•
|
estimated future results, net of pro forma adjustments set forth in the purchase agreements;
|
|
|
•
|
the probability of achieving these results; and
|
|
|
•
|
a discount rate reflective of the Company’s creditworthiness and market risk premium associated with the United States and Brazilian markets.
|
A change in any of these unobservable inputs can significantly change the fair value of the contingent consideration. Valuation techniques and significant observable inputs used in recurring Level 3 fair value measurements for our contingent consideration liabilities as of
September 30, 2018
and

POS Portal
The contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of POS Portal was paid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2017. For the
quarter
ended
September 30, 2017
, the change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of less than
$0.1 million
.
Worldwide Communications & Services Segment
Intelisys
The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of Intelisys recognized at
September 30, 2018
was
$69.8 million
, of which
$40.5 million
is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement contributed a loss of
$4.6 million
for the
quarter
ended
September 30, 2018
. The change in fair value for the
quarter
is primarily driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount as well as improved actual results. Although there is no contractual limit, total future undiscounted contingent consideration payments are anticipated to range up to
$85.8 million
, based on the Company’s best estimate of the earnout calculated on a multiple of earnings, before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Intelisys recognized at
September 30, 2017
was
$85.6 million
, of which
$31.0 million
is classified as current. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement contributed a loss of
$4.1 million
for the
quarter
ended
September 30, 2017
. The change for the quarter is driven by the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount.
Network1
The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration due to the former shareholders of Network1 recognized at
September 30, 2018
was
$10.3 million
, all of which is classified as current. There was minimal in the fair value of the contingent consideration for the
quarter
ended
September 30, 2018
recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. The liability is expected to be paid to the former shareholders of Network1 in the quarter ending December 31, 2018.
The discounted fair value of the liability for the contingent consideration related to Network1 recognized at
September 30, 2017
was
$4.7 million
, all of which is classified as current. For the
quarter
ended
September 30, 2017
, the change in fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statements contributed a loss of
$12.7 million
, primarily driven by a change in estimate of the current payment to the former shareholders of Network1, additional agreed upon adjustments to the projected final settlement and the recurring amortization of the unrecognized fair value discount. In addition, volatility in the foreign exchange between the Brazilian real and the U.S. dollar has driven changes in the translation of this Brazilian real denominated liability.

(11) Commitments and Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to lawsuits arising out of operations. Although there can be no assurance, based upon information known to the Company, the Company believes that any liability resulting from an adverse determination of such lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company expects total capital expenditures to range from
$10 million
to
$15 million
for fiscal year 2019, primarily for IT investments.
During the Company's due diligence for the Network1 acquisition, several pre-acquisition contingencies were identified regarding various Brazilian federal and state tax exposures. The Company recorded indemnification receivables that are reported gross of the pre-acquisition contingency liabilities as the funds were escrowed as part of the acquisition. The amount available after the impact of foreign currency translation, as of
September 30, 2018
and
June 30, 2018
, was
$23.2 million
and
$24.1 million
.
The table below summarizes the balances and line item presentation of Network1's pre-acquisition contingencies and corresponding indemnification receivables in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of

(12) Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act reduces the corporate federal tax rate from
35%
to
21%
effective January 1, 2018 and implements a modified territorial tax system. Since the Company has a June 30th fiscal year-end, the lower tax rate resulted in a blended U.S. statutory federal rate of approximately
28%
for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. The U.S. statutory federal rate is
21%
for the year ending
June 30, 2019
and subsequent fiscal years. As part of the Tax Act, U.S. companies are required to pay a one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and remeasure deferred tax assets and liabilities.
Income taxes for the
quarter
ended
September 30, 2018
have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements using an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, the Company also includes certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax provision. There were no material discrete items during the period.
The Company’s effective tax rate of
25.5%
for the
three months ended
September 30, 2018
differs from the current federal statutory rate of
21%
primarily as a result of income derived from tax jurisdictions with varying income tax rates, nondeductible expenses and state income taxes.
In response to the Tax Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) that provides guidance on accounting for the impact of the Tax Act. SAB 118 allows companies to record provisional amounts to the extent reasonably estimable and adjust them over time as more information becomes available, not to extend beyond the measurement period of one year from the enactment of the Tax Act. Accordingly, the Company has recorded provisional amounts for the one-time transition tax on the deemed repatriation of undistributed foreign earnings and the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The final impact from the enactment of the Tax Act may differ from the estimates provided for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, the issuance of final regulations, interpretation of the law and refinement of the Company's ongoing analysis of the new tax positions. Any changes in the provisional amount recognized will be reflected in the income tax expense in the period they are identified.
The Tax Act includes a mandatory deemed repatriation of all undistributed foreign earnings that are subject to a U.S. income tax as part of the transition. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized provisional income tax expense of
$9.6 million
for a one-time transition tax liability on total post-1986 foreign subsidiaries’ earnings and profits (“E&P”) that were previously deferred from U.S. income taxes. The Company will continue to distribute the earnings of its Canadian subsidiary, but earnings from all other geographies will continue to be considered retained indefinitely for reinvestment. It has been the practice of the Company to reinvest those earnings in the business outside the United States. Apart from the one-time transition tax, any incremental deferred income taxes on the unremitted foreign earnings are not expected to be material.
As part of accounting for the Tax Act, the Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which such deferred taxes are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally
21%
. For the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2018
, the Company recognized a provisional discrete income tax benefit of
$1.6 million
for the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax asset and liability balances.
The Company had approximately
$1.7 million
and
$2.1 million
of total gross unrecognized tax benefits as of
September 30, 2018
and
June 30, 2018
, respectively. Of this total at
September 30, 2018
, approximately
$1.4 million
represents the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that are permanent in nature and, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company does not believe that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within twelve months of the reporting date.
The Company conducts business globally and one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities in countries and states in which it operates. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for the years before June 30,
2013
.
The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of
September 30, 2018
and
June 30, 2018
, the Company had approximately
$1.2 million
accrued for interest and penalties, respectively.
Financial results in Belgium for the
quarter
ended
September 30, 2018
produced a pre-tax loss of approximately
$1.0 million
. To the extent the Belgium business does not return to profitability as expected, this could affect the valuation of certain deferred tax assets. However, the Belgium business reported cumulative taxable income for two of the four prior years. In the judgment of management, the conditions that gave rise to the current year and prior year pre-tax losses are temporary and that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Belgium enacted a corporate tax reform law on December 25, 2017 which reduces the corporate tax rate from
33%
to
25%
over a three-year period. The Company remeasured certain deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which such deferred taxes are expected to reverse in the future. As a result, the Company recognized income tax expense of
$1.0 million
as a discrete event during the year ended
June 30, 2018
.
