[1] (1)Our discontinued operations had no income tax benefit or expense in any period presented.

[2] Income tax expense is related to taxable income generated by our corporate subsidiaries and Texas Margin Tax. Due to the income tax benefit in 2012, the effective tax rate as a percentage of our total income from continuing operations before income taxes is not meaningful for those periods.
