14.   INCOME TAXES

During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company's consolidated effective tax rates were 37.8% and 42.2%, respectively.  During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company's consolidated effective tax rates were 38.0% and 42.2%, respectively.  The higher consolidated tax rate during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 was primarily the result of a $68,183 gain on sale of real estate transaction during the six month period ended June 30, 2016.  There were no other significant unusual income tax items during the three-month or six-month periods ended either June 30, 2017 or 2016.
