[1] For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the federal and state current tax expense was minimal due to the utilization of NOL carryforwards from prior periods. The NOL carryforwards resulted from the bonus depreciation provisions of the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
