NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

We do not pay federal income taxes as our profits or losses are reported to the taxing authorities by the individual partners. 

 

Our income taxes are entirely attributable to the Texas Margin Tax which is derived from our taxable income apportioned to Texas. We recorded a deferred tax asset of $0.3 million and $0.3 million related to its operations located in Texas as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and a deferred tax liability of $0.4 million and less than $0.1 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability are presented net as a deferred tax liability of $0.1 million on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 and as a deferred tax asset of $0.3 million on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011. Our provision for income taxes was a net benefit of $0.2 million and a net expense of  $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and a net expense of $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.
