13. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, income tax expense was primarily derived by applying the federal statutory rate of 35% to operating income before income taxes.

In general, our income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for tax years 1996 forward. The FTB is currently examining the Company’s 2008, 2009 and 2010 tax returns. Although the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year, we do not anticipate any material change to the amount of our unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.
