Income Taxes	9. Income Taxes As of February 29, 2012, in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company has a total liability of approximately $2.7 million for uncertain tax positions, inclusive of tax, interest, and penalties. Of this amount, approximately $2.0 million represents income tax liability for uncertain tax positions related to various state income tax matters. If the accrued liability was de-recognized, approximately $1.8 million of taxes would impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to its effective tax rate. Included in the balance sheet at February 29, 2012 are approximately $0.7 million of items of which, under existing tax laws, the ultimate deductibility is certain but for which the timing of the deduction is uncertain. Because of the impact of deferred income tax accounting, a deduction in a subsequent period would result in a deferred tax asset. Accordingly, upon de-recognition, the tax benefits associated with the reversal of these timing differences would have no impact, except for related interest and penalties, on the Company’s effective income tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its provision for federal and state income taxes. As of February 29, 2012, the total amounts for accrued interest and penalties were approximately $0.5 million and approximately $0.2 million, respectively. If the accrued interest and penalties were de-recognized, approximately $0.3 million would impact the Company’s consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to its effective tax rate. The Company continues to pursue settlements with the appropriate state tax authorities related to certain state tax issues, as well as in connection with our previously settled examination with the Internal Revenue Service, and on similar terms. The Company expects to pay up to $0.5 million in total to finalize all pending settlements with various states within the next 12 months. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to these various state matters including interest charges through February 29, 2012, and, as a result, does not expect that such an outcome would have a material adverse effect on results of operations. The de-recognition of potential tax and interest associated with the resolution of certain state items accrued are the principal causes of the decreased effective income tax rate for the three months ended February 29, 2012. As a result of these items, the Company’s effective income tax rate decreased from the statutory income rate to approximately 36.1 percent for the three months ended February 29, 2012.
