Note 5. Income Taxes

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our income tax expense has been computed utilizing the estimated annual effective rate of 38.8%.  Following the Cable Networks Acquisition on April 1, 2014, we determined that it was reasonably certain that our foreign tax credits will be realized and reversed the valuation allowance previously recorded of $2.5 million, which is primarily the difference between the actual effective tax rate and the annual effective tax rate of 38.8%.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, our statutory Federal income tax rate of 34.0% increased to the annual effective income tax rate of 102.7% as a result of increases in the tax rate in Puerto Rico from 30.0% to 39.0% that will not generate offsetting U.S. income tax credits, the loss of a deferred tax asset as a result of the increase in the tax rate in Puerto Rico, permanent differences as a result of transaction costs, and statutory taxes.
