2.         Income Taxes

The tax effect of temporary differences, primarily asset reserves, stock-based compensation and accrued liabilities, gave rise to the Company's deferred tax asset in the accompanying December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of such temporary differences at the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse.

The income tax provisions for the respective three-month and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 differ from the federal statutory rate primarily as a result of state income taxes offset by permanent tax differences.
