For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the effective tax rates varied from the statutory rate primarily due to the existence of a valuation allowance that has been provided to offset the Company's net deferred tax asset, after excluding deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangible assets that are not going to provide a source of taxable income in the foreseeable future, and state tax refunds.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the effective income tax rates varied from the statutory rate due primarily to the impact of the valuation allowance, indefinite-lived intangible assets and state taxes.
Valuation Allowance
There have been no changes to the Company's valuation allowance assessment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
