INCOME TAXES

While we are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of certain state jurisdictions, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, our current provisions were zero because the net effect of our permanent and temporary differences resulted in recognizing a loss for tax purposes.  At June 30, 2012, we have remaining net operating loss carryforwards and other net deferred income tax assets of approximately $3.0 million to reduce future taxable income.  Our effective tax rate of 38% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was less than the statuatory tax rates primarily because we recognized certain gains from fair value adjustments for financial statement purposes that are not expected to reverse (i.e. permanent differences).
