8.    Income Taxes

 

We recorded income tax expense of $3.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, which was primarily non-cash charges, on pre-tax income of $10.6 million, yielding an effective tax rate of 34.5 percent.  Our income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 is based on estimated effective tax rates derived from an estimate of consolidated earnings before taxes, adjusted for nondeductible expenses and other permanent differences for fiscal year 2013.  The estimated effective tax rate was impacted primarily by the worldwide mix of consolidated earnings before taxes.  Our income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 was slightly below the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of permanent differences that are deductible for tax purposes.

 

We recorded income tax expense of $5.3 million, primarily a non-cash charge, on pre-tax income of $14.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, yielding an effective tax rate of 36.6 percent. Our income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 is based on an estimated effective tax rate derived from an estimate of consolidated earnings before taxes, adjusted for nondeductible expenses and other permanent differences for fiscal year 2012.  The estimated effective tax rate was impacted primarily by the worldwide mix of consolidated earnings before taxes.  Our income tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 was slightly above the federal statutory rate primarily due to the effect of state income taxes and nondeductible expenses.

 

We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2012.  We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months.  Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.  As of June 30, 2012, the balance of accrued interest and penalties was zero.  No interest or penalties were incurred during the first three months of fiscal year 2013. 

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions.  Fiscal years 2009 through 2012 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
