Income Tax Expense. Chesapeake recorded income tax expense of $382.3 million in the Current Quarter, compared to income tax expense of $71.9 million in the Prior Quarter. Our effective income tax rate increased to 38% in the Current Quarter compared to 36.5% in the Prior Quarter. The increase in the Current Quarter reflected the impact state income taxes and permanent differences had on our overall effective rate. All 2005 income tax expense was deferred, and we expect most, if not all, of our 2006 income tax expense to be deferred.
