The Company will continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance each quarter. Management believes that, if the favorable trend in operating results for its U.S. operations continues in subsequent quarters, it may, based on all of the relevant information available, determine prior to December 31, 2012 that it is more likely than not that the U.S. operations will be able to utilize all or a significant portion of its net deferred tax asset, resulting in a reduction to all or part of the valuation allowance and the recognition of a corresponding non-cash tax benefit.

(6) INCOME TAXES

Each quarter, the Company estimates the annual effective income tax rate ("ETR") for the full year and applies that rate to the Earnings (Loss) Before Income Taxes for tax jurisdictions not subject to a valuation allowance in determining its provision for income taxes for the interim periods. The determination of the consolidated provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and the related valuation allowance requires management to make certain judgments and estimates. Changes in the estimated level of annual pre-tax earnings, tax laws, and changes resulting from tax audits can affect the overall effective income tax rate, which impacts the level of income tax expense and net income. Judgments and estimates related to the Company's projections and assumptions are inherently uncertain; therefore, actual results could differ materially from projections.

The year-to-date ETR was less than the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate, mainly due to the taxing jurisdictions in which the Company and its foreign subsidiaries generate taxable income or loss and judgments as to the realizability of the Company's deferred tax assets.

The Company continues to review the need for a valuation allowance at each quarter-end. While the operating results for its U.S. operations improved significantly during the three months ending March 31, 2012, the U.S. operations were still in a loss position for the most recent quarter ended March 31, 2012. In addition, the Company's U.S. operations are still in a cumulative loss position for the previous twelve quarters, excluding the non-taxable gains realized related to the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance policies. Based on this and other relevant information, the management concluded that at March 31, 2012 it did not meet the more likely than not criteria for concluding that the valuation allowance for its U.S. operations, which totaled $8.8 million at March 31, 2012 (compared to $9.0 million at December 31, 2011), was no longer required in part or total. The Company will continue to evaluate the need for a valuation allowance each quarter.
