Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009
NOTE 16: INCOME TAXES (Continued)
The exercise of certain Company stock options results in compensation that is includable in the taxable income of the exercising option
holder and deductible by the Company for federal and state income tax purposes. Such compensation results from increases in the fair market
value of the Company's common stock subsequent to the date of grant of the exercised stock options. Any option related excess tax benefits
(tax deduction greater than cumulative book deduction) are recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital, while option related tax
deficiencies (cumulative book deduction greater than tax deduction) are recorded as a decrease to additional paid-in capital to the extent of the
Company's additional paid-in capital option pool, then to its income tax provision. During the year ended December 31, 2011, option-related
tax deductions resulted in increases to additional paid-in capital of $1.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2010, option-related tax
deductions resulted in increases to additional paid-in capital of $2.5 million. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the shortfall related to
the Company's stock-options resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in-capital of $0.2 million.
The Company's provision for income taxes differs from the expected tax expense (benefit) amount computed by applying the statutory
federal income tax rate of 35% to income before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 primarily as a result of
the following:
For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was as follows:
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits as of both December 31, 2011 and 2010 are approximately $0.3 million of tax
benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective tax rate. Also
