(8)Income Taxes



The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 31.1% and 24.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the mix of earnings between jurisdictions with differing tax rates.  The effective tax rates for the six months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were 31.0% and 25.4%, respectively.  The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the mix of earnings between jurisdictions with differing tax rates, estimated foreign tax credit, and ratio of permanent items versus a lower overall forecasted pretax.  The Company believes it is reasonably possible that $645 thousand of unrecognized tax benefits will be realized in fiscal year 2016.
