15.  Income Taxes

The projected fiscal 2012 effective income tax rate as of June 30, 2012 is approximately 42.9% and 25.7% in the United States and Canada, respectively, and has yielded a projected weighted average effective income tax rate of approximately 44.6%. The relative income or loss generated in each jurisdiction impacts the overall effective income tax rate of the company.  The projected loss from operations in the Canadian subsidiary caused the proportional consolidated effective tax to exceed traditional effective income tax rates.
