[1] For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the federal and state current tax expense was minimal due to the utilization of NOL carryforwards from prior periods. The NOL carryforwards resulted from the bonus depreciation provisions of the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014 and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
[2] For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the state current tax expense reflected initiatives implemented on the 2013 federal and state tax returns to utilize tax carryforwards that may have expired due to NOL carryforwards from prior periods. State NOL and alternative minimum tax carryforwards remaining after utilization in 2015 will be carried forward to offset future income.
