Income Taxes

Note 11. – Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended May 31, 2013 and 2012 was 40.8% (benefit) and 15.9%, respectively. These rates differ from the Federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state taxes, the permanent non-deductibility of certain expenses for tax purposes, and research and experimentation credits. The disparity of the effective rate from May 31, 2013 compared to 2012 is due largely to the Company not qualifying for the Domestic Production Activities deduction and a reduction in state income taxes due to having a loss in earnings.
