Income Taxes


The Company recorded income tax expense of $5,898, an effective tax rate of 38.0%, and $8,057, an effective tax rate of 38.0%, for the three (3) months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The effective rate for the three (3) months ended June 30, 2011 of 38.0% differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to state income taxes and the write-off of certain deferred tax assets related to equity awards partially offset by the reduction of uncertain income tax positions (including interest and penalties) and foreign earnings taxed at a lower statutory rate.


The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the Company’s estimate are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual effective rate is determined.


During Fiscal 2012 and Fiscal 2011, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") commenced an examination of the Company's U.S. federal income tax returns for Fiscal 2010, Fiscal 2009 and Fiscal 2008. In connection with these normal recurring audits, the IRS has requested certain documentation. The Company has produced various documents requested by the IRS and is currently in the process of responding to additional documentation requests.


Fiscal 2007 through Fiscal 2010 remain open to examination by state and foreign taxing jurisdictions.
