NOTE G - Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate in the third quarter of 2012 was 32.4% an increase from 28.7% in the third quarter of 2011 due to a higher mix of foreign income in jurisdictions with higher tax rates. For the first nine months of 2012, the effective income tax rate was 32.5% an increase from 30.9% in the first nine months of 2011. The higher tax rate in the first nine months of 2012 primarily reflects an increased proportion of domestic income.
