Income tax expense was $25 and $24 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 and $88 and $80 for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Income tax expense consists of the estimated liability for federal and state income taxes owed by the Company, including the alternative minimum tax.  Net operating loss carry forwards are estimated to be sufficient to offset additional taxable income for all periods presented.

The Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its Indian subsidiary, which the Company considers to be a permanent investment.
