Income Taxes

(8) INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Company’s best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 37%. The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was partially offset by a state income tax refund, which resulted in a lower effective tax rate for the period. The Company paid income taxes of $427 during the first three months of 2013, which was included in income taxes payable at December 31, 2012.
