This excerpt taken from the EMCI 10-K filed Mar 16, 2006. Other information
Income tax expense decreased 68.7 percent to $2,386,000 in 2004 from $7,633,000 in 2003. The effective tax rate declined to 15.3 percent in 2004 from 27.3 percent in 2003, primarily due to an increase in tax-exempt investment income and a decline in pre-tax income. Effective April 1, 2003, the Company was included in Employers Mutual’s consolidated tax return due to the fact that Employers Mutual attained 80 percent ownership of the Company at the end of March. The Company filed a short-period tax return with its subsidiaries for the period January 2003 through March 31, 2003. During October 2004 Employers Mutual’s ownership of the Company fell below 80 percent upon successful completion of the follow-on stock offering. Accordingly, the Company was no longer included in Employers Mutual’s consolidated tax return effective October 1, 2004, and the Company filed a short-period tax return for the period October 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004.
