(6) Income Tax Provision

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had an effective income tax rate of 39.9% compared to 39.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, respectively.  The effective income tax rates for the periods presented were different from the statutory United States federal income tax rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, non-deductible share-based compensation expense, the qualified manufacturing activities deduction, and non-deductible meals and entertainment costs. 

 

We did not make any federal and state income tax payments in the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1.4 million in net payments for the same period of the prior year.
