Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the first six months of Fiscal 2013 was determined by excluding certain jurisdictions with net losses. As a result, the tax provision for the first six months of Fiscal 2013 was 0.3% and was due to taxable income in profitable jurisdictions.
 
Our effective tax rate for the first six months of Fiscal 2012 was a benefit of 76.9% and was positively affected by federal and state research and experimentation credits, earnings on marketable securities that are exempt from federal income taxes, the reversal of a tax contingency due to lapse in the statute of limitations and the tax impact of income in foreign locations.
