6.           INCOME TAXES:

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized tax (benefit) expense of $(2.9) and $1.2 million, respectively, with corresponding effective tax rates of (91.6) and 3.3 percent utilizing the estimated annual effective tax rate method. This is compared to tax expense of $4.9 and $6.7 million with corresponding effective tax rates of 30.4 and 25.2 percent in the comparable periods of the prior year utilizing the year-to-date method.

 

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 is higher than the effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to the benefit of Work Opportunity Tax Credits including the impact of the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 that retroactively extended the Work Opportunity Tax Credits. These credits had a greater impact on the tax rate this quarter due to the amount of pretax loss reported this quarter.

 

The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 is lower than the effective income tax rate for the comparable period of the prior year due to the recognition of a $33.8 million foreign currency translation gain in the current period which was primarily non-taxable.

 

The Company’s United States federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011 are currently under audit. All earlier tax years are closed to examination. The Company is currently under audit in a number of states in which the statute of limitations has been extended for fiscal years 2008 and forward.
