INCOME TAXES
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company incurred a net income tax expense of $1,020,000 compared to a net income tax expense of $833,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These represent effective income tax rates of approximately 34% and 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and, 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2014 is based on forecasted annual pre-tax income for 2014 and lower estimated oil depletion allowances as a result of the decrease in oil revenues compared to the same period in 2013. As of June 30, 2014, our balance sheet reflects an income tax receivable of $2,160,000 which is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets.
The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expenses. During the first six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company had $13,600 income tax payments for the 2014 tax year.
