Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income taxes | ##### Note 3 - Income taxes Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $3,576,000 compared to an income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $1,395,000. The income tax benefit of $3,576,000 was for federal and state income tax at statutory rates applied to the pre-tax loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 of $9,418,000. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $5,395,000 in federal and state income tax expense at statutory rates offset by the release during the fourth quarter of 2012 of $4,000,000 of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. In future periods, the Company will be subject to federal and state income tax expense at statutory tax rates. The following summarizes the (benefit) / provision for income taxes:
