INCOME TAXES

7.   INCOME TAXES

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income taxes and income taxes in numerous states. In addition, the Company is subject to income tax in the U.K. attributable to its foreign subsidiaries. The effective income tax rate of 37.8% of pretax income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 differed from the federal statutory rate of 35.0% due primarily to taxes provided for the taxable state jurisdictions in which the Company operates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 37.6% from 39.4% for the same period in 2010. The change was primarily due to the mix of pretax income from the taxable state jurisdictions in which the Company operates, a change in valuation allowances for certain state net operating losses that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and an increase in federal employment tax credits.

As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. Consistent with prior practices, the Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes. The Company did not incur any interest and penalties nor did it accrue any interest for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Taxable years 2006 and subsequent remain open for examination by the Company’s major taxing jurisdictions.
