Note 9 - Income Taxes


For the nine months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $2,300,000 on a pretax loss of $46,000.  The income tax benefit was the net result of applying the projected annual tax rate of 4.96% adjusted for any discrete items recorded year to date (mainly a permanent benefit related to differences in acquired liabilities for tax versus GAAP purposes existing at the time of the acquisition of New Dawn).   The Company’s projected effective tax rate continues to be lower than the statutory rate mainly due to the available dividends received deduction and the domestic production activities deduction.  On a pretax profit of $4,086,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded a tax provision of $1,275,000, which was lower than the amount computed using the statutory rate primarily because of the available dividends received deduction and the domestic production activity deduction. The Company’s effective tax rate was 5,000% and 31% for the nine months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Company files federal income tax returns in the United States and with various state jurisdictions and is no longer subject to examinations for years before 2010 with regard to federal income taxes.
