INCOME TAXES
 
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and certain combined state and local income tax returns with its subsidiaries. Income tax expense for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2016 is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate and records cumulative adjustments as necessary. The effective tax rate for the six month period ended March 31, 2016 differs from the federal statutory income tax rate principally due to non-deductible expenses and state and local income taxes.
 
At March 31, 2016, the Company had a net deferred tax asset of $11,629,000, principally comprised of net operating loss carryforwards. Management believes that is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will be realized and, accordingly, has not provided a valuation allowance against such amount.
