NOTE 9:  INCOME TAXES

 

The effective income tax rate was 32.3% for the three months ended February 26, 2012, compared to 32.5% for the same period ended February 27, 2011. Income tax expense was $23.5 million for the three months ended February 26, 2012, compared to the $18.9 million for the same period ended February 27, 2011. The increase in income tax expense was primarily attributed to higher income before income taxes.

 

As of February 26, 2012, the Company's total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $145.7 million, of which $90.2 million would impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. As of November 27, 2011, the Company's total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $143.4 million, of which $87.9 million would have impacted the effective tax rate, if recognized.
