NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES

During the six-month period ended March 31, 2013 , the Company recognized $60,000 of income tax expense and corresponding  income tax payable related to a tax position in its 2008 consolidated federal income tax return which is under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. While the matter has not been settled, the Company believes that, as of March 31, 2013, it is more probable than possible that the Company will be liable for such amount. The Company’s tax returns for tax years 2009 and later could also be subject to review by the IRS, however to date, no such notice has been received. The Company does not believe that it has any other uncertain tax positions which would require recognition and measurement as of March 31, 2013.
