[1] For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the federal and state current tax expense of $0.2 million and zero, respectively, (zero and zero for the quarter ended March 31, 2012) is due to net operating losses (NOLs) which resulted primarily from the bonus depreciation provision of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 and the Tax Relief Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010. The 2013 and 2012 federal and state NOLs will be carried forward to offset future taxable income.
[2] For the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the state deferred tax benefits of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, are primarily due to state renewable tax credits earned which will be carried forward to offset future state tax expense.
[3] For the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the change in the valuation allowance is due to state renewable tax credits earned in 2013 and 2012 which are not expected to be utilized within their allowable tax carryforward period.
