Note 5 — Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes consist of the following as of:
| | March 31, | | December 31, | |

The effective tax rate of approximately 41% for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2014 and 2013, differ from the federal statutory rate of 34% primarily due to state income taxes.
Note 6 — Subsequent Event — Sale of Paper Products Business
As explained below, subsequent to December 31, 2013, Fabrica entered into a series of transactions which effectively transferred the rights to supply its U.S. market business to Orchids Paper Products Company.
Fabrica entered into a supply agreement with Elgin Finance & Investment Corp. (Elgin). The agreement provided Elgin the exclusive right to supply Fabrica’s U.S. business.
On May 5, 2014, Fabrica entered into an asset purchase agreement with Orchids Paper Products Company and its wholly owned subsidiary (Orchids). Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, in exchange for 411,650 shares of Orchid’s common stock valued at approximately $12 million, Fabrica sold to Orchids the following assets upon the transaction close on June 3, 2014:
· Fabrica’s U.S. customer list, open purchase orders at closing with those customers and certain customer contracts representing all of Golden Gate’s paper products customers.
· Exclusive rights to certain of Golden Gate’s trademarks in the U.S.
· Fabrica’s and its affiliates’ (including Golden Gate’s) covenant not to compete in the U.S.
· Certain manufacturing equipment owned by Fabrica consisting of a paper machine, two converting lines and all related components and ancillary items.
Concurrently with the closing of the asset purchase agreement, Orchids paid Elgin total consideration of $24.7 million, consisting of $16.7 million in cash and 274,433 shares of Orchids common stock valued at $8 million in exchange for the assignment to Orchids of Elgin’s supply agreement with Fabrica. Upon assignment to Orchids, the supply agreement was cancelled.
As contemplated in the asset purchase agreement, upon closing of the transaction Orchids and Fabrica signed a new supply agreement whereby Fabrica will supply Orchids with up to 18,000 metric tons of paper products each year at average cost with an option for Orchids to purchase an additional 7,000 metric tons at a price that results in the converted product being shared equally between Fabrica and Orchids. The agreement has an initial term of 20 years; thereafter, the agreement shall continue until terminated by either party upon 90-days written notice. The agreement may be terminated earlier upon certain conditions, which may result in Fabrica being responsible for liquidating damages to Orchids ranging from $20 million to $100 million.
In addition, Orchids and Fabrica entered into an agreement to lease back to Fabrica the manufacturing assets sold in the asset purchase agreement. The rental fee will be based upon the number of metric tons shipped by Fabrica to Orchids, subject to annual adjustment based on the calculation of the annual purchase price in the Orchids supply agreement. The lease agreement term runs concurrently with the supply agreement. Under the agreement, Orchids has a put option to sell the equipment back to Fabrica for $12 million upon the termination of the lease.

The following represents the book value of the manufacturing equipment sold as recorded by Fabrica in its December 31, 2013, financial statements:
| | Gross | | Accumulated | | Net | | Net | |

The net book value was converted to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at December 31, 2013, of 13.0765 pesos per U.S. dollar.
