Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for continuing operations for the three months ended October 1, 2011 and October 2, 2010 reflect an effective tax rate of 34.6 percent and 44.6 percent, respectively. The third quarter 2010 tax rate was negatively impacted due to a reduction in the anticipated capital gain from the sale of a closed manufacturing facility negatively impacting capital loss carry-forward utilization. The 2011 estimated annual effective tax rate is expected to be 36.1 percent.
