NOTE 12 - INCOME TAXES

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded an income tax provision of $4.0 million and $4.1 million, respectively, reflecting and effective tax rate of 37.8% and 41.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2019, respectively.
