5.Income Taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $382,000 and $621,000, or 40.5%  and 40.6% of income before taxes, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $427,000 and $533,000, or 50.2% and 46.7% of income before taxes, respectively. The income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is comprised of federal and state taxes. The primary differences between the Company’s September 30, 2015 and 2014 effective tax rates and the statutory federal rate are expenses related to stock-based compensation and nondeductible meals and entertainment. The Company reassesses its effective rate each reporting period and adjusts the annual effective rate if deemed necessary, based on projected annual taxable income.

 

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits totaling $486,000, including interest, which relate to state nexus issues. The amount of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would affect the effective income tax rates of future periods is $486,000. Due to the current statute of limitations regarding the unrecognized tax benefits, the unrecognized tax benefits and associated interest is not expected to change significantly in 2015.
