INCOME TAXES:

During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized tax expense (benefit) of $5.6 and $(0.4) million, respectively, with corresponding effective tax rates of (146.5)% and 15.2%.

The recorded tax expense and effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were different than what would normally be expected primarily due to non-cash tax expense relating to tax benefits on certain indefinite-lived assets that the Company cannot recognize for reporting purposes and the valuation allowance associated with the U.S. and U.K. deferred tax assets.

The recorded tax benefit and the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were lower than would be expected due to unique items of tax expense reducing the tax benefit, with a resulting greater impact on the tax rate due to the relatively small amount of pretax loss reported for the quarter.

The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the fiscal years 2010 and 2011 are currently under audit. All earlier tax years are closed to examination. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) identified certain issues that resulted in audit adjustments. In anticipation of these adjustments, the Company made a payment to the IRS during the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2014. The majority of the amount paid relates to timing differences and will be recovered by claiming tax deductions in subsequent years. While the IRS has proposed additional adjustments in these audits, the Company believes its income tax position and deductions will be sustained and intends to vigorously defend its position on the issues and accordingly will initially appeal to the IRS Appeals Division. Final resolution of these issues is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position. For state tax audits, the statute of limitations generally runs three to four years resulting in a number of returns being open for tax audits dating back to fiscal year 2010. The Company is currently under audit in a number of states in which the statute of limitations has been extended for fiscal years 2007 and forward.
