INCOME TAXES

 


(L) INCOME TAXES  

Income Taxes for the interim period presented have been included in the accompanying financial statements on the basis of an estimated annual effective tax rate. In addition to the amount of tax resulting from applying the estimated annual effective tax rate to pre-tax income, we will include, when appropriate, certain items treated as discrete events to arrive at an estimated overall tax amount. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was approximately 25%, which was higher than the tax rate of 22% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to discrete expense related to the change in valuation allowances and the limitation on the deduction for certain officer compensation.
