financial statement impact of adoption on previously reported results .
we adopted topic 606 using the modified retrospective method .
the cumulative impact of applying the new guidance to all contracts with customers that were not completed as of april 1 2018 was recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the adoption date .
as a result of applying the modified retrospective method to adopt the new standard the following adjustments were made to noted accounts on the consolidated balance sheet as of april 1 2018 : .
the acceleration of revenue that was deferred under prior guidance as of the adoption date was primarily attributable to the requirement of topic 606 to allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract on a relative basis using ssp rather than allocating under the residual method which allocates the entire arrangement discount to the delivered performance obligations .
due to the company ' s full valuation allowance as of the adoption date there is no tax impact associated with the adoption of topic 606 .
we made certain presentation changes to our consolidated balance sheet on april 1 2018 to comply with topic 606 .
prior to adoption of the new standard we offset accounts receivable and contract liabilities -previously presented as deferred revenue on our consolidated balance sheet for unpaid deferred performance obligations included in contract liabilities .
under the new standard we record accounts receivable and related contract liabilities for non-cancelable contracts with customers when the right to consideration is unconditional .
upon adoption the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that have been transferred to a customer when that right is conditional on something other than the passage of time were reclassified from accounts receivable to contract assets .

deferred revenues .
deferred revenues consisted of the following : .
deferred cloud services and license support revenues and deferred hardware revenues substantially represent customer payments made in advance for cloud or support contracts that are typically billed in advance with corresponding revenues generally being recognized ratably over the contractual periods .
deferred services revenues include prepayments for our services business and revenues for these services are generally recognized as the services are performed .
deferred cloud license and on-premise license revenues typically resulted from customer payments that related to undelivered products and services or specified enhancements .
in connection with our acquisitions we have estimated the fair values of the cloud services and license support performance obligations assumed from our acquired companies .
we generally have estimated the fair values of these obligations assumed using a cost build-up approach .
the cost build-up approach determines fair value by estimating the costs related to fulfilling the obligations plus a normal profit margin .
the sum of the costs and operating profit approximates in theory the amount that we would be required to pay a third party to assume these acquired obligations .
these aforementioned fair value adjustments recorded for obligations assumed from our acquisitions reduced the cloud services and license support deferred revenues balances that we recorded as liabilities from these acquisitions and also reduced the resulting revenues that we recognized or will recognize over the terms of the acquired obligations during the post-combination periods .

Question: How did the fair value adjustments recorded for obligations affect the cloud services and license support deferred revenue balances?
Answer: These aforementioned fair value adjustments recorded for obligations assumed from our acquisitions reduced the cloud services and license support deferred revenues balances that we recorded as liabilities from these acquisitions

for fiscal 2018 the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the impact of the tax act reform .
the company recorded a benefit of approximately $ 3 .

although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the range of zero to $ 0 .
1 million of tax and zero to $ 0 .
2 million of interest based on the outcome of tax examinations and as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations .
we are routinely audited ; due to the ongoing nature of current examinations in multiple jurisdictions other changes could occur in the amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months which cannot be estimated at this time .
because of our losses in prior periods we have recorded a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets .
the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets generated prior to tax act reform depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible .
because of our losses in prior periods management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences .

liquidity and capital resources .
our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents investments and accounts receivable .
the following table shows net cash provided by operating activities net cash used in investing activities and net cash provided by -used in financing activities for the years ended march 31 2019 2018 and 2017 : .
in november 2015 we raised net proceeds of $ 68 .

in the years ended march 31 2019 2018 and 2017 we incurred operating losses of $ 1 .
2 million $ 7 .
0 million and $ 10 .
4 million respectively .
while we expect to generate an operating loss in the year ending march 31 2020 we expect to continue to generate positive cash flows from operating activities .
in the year ending march 31 2020 we plan to continue to invest in the development and expansion of our mime | os ™ platform to improve on our existing solutions in order to provide more capabilities to our customers .
investments in capital expenditures in the year ended march 31 2019 were $ 28 .
8 million of which $ 25 .
8 million related to the expansion of our grid architecture .
we expect fiscal year 2020 capital expenditures to increase significantly as we expect to incur one-time costs related to the build out and expansion of facilities in the u .
k .
and other locations and additional data center expansion primarily in the u .
s .
as of march 31 2019 and 2018 we had cash cash equivalents and investments of $ 173 .
5 million and $ 137 .
2 million respectively .
based on our current operating plan we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents investments and operating cash flows will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months .
our future capital requirements may vary materially from those planned and will depend on certain factors such as our growth and our operating results .
if we require additional capital resources to grow our business or to acquire complementary technologies and businesses in the future we may seek to sell additional equity or raise funds through debt financing or other sources .
we may also seek to invest in or acquire complement ary businesses applications or technologies any of which could also require us to seek additional equity or debt financing .
we cannot provide assurance that additional financing will be available at all or on terms favorable to us .
we had no material commitments for capital expenditures as of march 31 2019 or 2018 .

Question: What are the principal sources of liquidity?
Answer: cash and cash equivalents, investments and accounts receivable.
