Note 8 Income Taxes

 

We file a consolidated federal income tax return in the United States and various combined and separate filings in several state and local jurisdictions.

 

There were no unrecognized tax benefits nor any accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits during the nine months ended March 31, 2013.  We believe that we have appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on the Company’s tax returns and that the accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on our assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter. The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ending June 30, 2007 through June 30, 2012.

 

The Company recognized income tax expense of $986,676 and $805,989 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012,  respectively, with corresponding effective rates of 29% and 35%.

 

We recognized income tax expense of $2,801,393 and $2,686,778 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, with corresponding effective rates of 34% and 40%,  respectively.

 

Our effective tax rate for any period may differ from the statutory federal rate due to our state income tax liability in Louisiana, statutory depletion in excess of our tax basis, and stock-based compensation expense related to qualified incentive stock option awards (“ISO awards”), each of which creates a permanent tax difference for financial reporting.
