Income Taxes

The Company's provision for income taxes was $4,370, an effective tax rate of 38.0% on income before provision for income taxes of $11,503, and provision for income taxes was $6,548, an effective tax rate of 30.6% on income before provision for income taxes of $21,392, for the three (3) months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company's provision for income taxes was $8,007, an effective tax rate of 38.0% on income before provision for income taxes of $21,072, and provision for income taxes was $12,446, an effective tax rate of 33.7% on income before provision for income taxes of $36,913, for the six (6) months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the six (6) months ended September 30, 2011, the Company reduced its provision for income taxes by$1,579 due to an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") to conclude the previously-disclosed IRS audit for Fiscal 2007 through Fiscal 2010 which is the primary cause for the increase in the effective rate from 33.7% for six (6) months ended September 30, 2011 to 38.0% for the six (6) months ended September 30, 2012. The effective rate for the six (6) months ended September 30, 2012 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 deferred tax liabilities associated with previously-taxed income 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 adjusted for certain discreet items 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.

Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012 remains open to examination by the IRS and Fiscal 2008 through Fiscal 2012 remain open to examination by certain state and foreign taxing jurisdictions.
