INCOME TAXES

The benefit for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $8.4 million, or 28.9% of pretax loss, compared to a provision for income taxes of $3.3 million, or 40.3% of pretax income for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The benefit for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $10.8 million, or 31.2% of pretax loss, compared to a provision for income taxes of $10.4 million, or 40.4% of pretax income for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The effective tax rate decrease was due to the effect of nondeductible permanent items mainly comprised of certain goodwill impairment charges.
