Note 9 – Income Taxes 

The provision for income taxes is different from the amount determined by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to consolidated income before taxes.  The differences are attributable to earnings considered indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, change in valuation allowance, state taxes, unrecognized tax benefits, and foreign withholding tax on interest. Our effective tax rate was 35.9% and 35.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
