3.             Income Taxes.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $196,000 and $771,000, or 35.6% and 45.1% of income before taxes, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $102,000, or 21.1% of income before taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $779,000, or 31.5% of loss before taxes for the period. The income tax provision (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, is comprised of federal and state taxes. The primary differences between the Company’s September 30, 2013 and 2012 effective tax rates and the statutory federal rate are expenses related to equity compensation and nondeductible meals and entertainment.

 

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits totaling $430,000, including interest, which relates to state nexus issues. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would affect the effective income tax rates of future periods is $430,000. Due to the current statute of limitations regarding the unrecognized tax benefits, the unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest are not expected to change significantly in 2013.
