Note 10: Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was 35.5% compared to 37.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.  Our effective tax rate varies from the 35% statutory rate primarily due to state taxes, the U.S. manufacturing deduction, and the mix of earnings in other foreign jurisdictions for which the statutory rate varies.

Our consolidated balance sheet at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2014 reflected a $1.4 million net liability for uncertain income tax positions.  It is reasonably possible that $0.2 million of this liability will be settled within the next 12 months.  The remaining balance will be paid or released as tax audits are completed or settled, statutes of limitation expire or other new information becomes available.
