Income Taxes

The difference between the Company's federal statutory rate and the Company's effective rate for the three months ended February 4, 2012, was primarily attributable to the impact of state income taxes.  These impacts were partially offset by benefits from the domestic manufacturer's deduction. 

The difference between the Company's statutory rate and the Company's effective rate for the three months ended January 29, 2011, was primarily attributable to a reorganization of the Company's legal entities which resulted in a one-time $810 deferred benefit, coupled with the reinstatement of the research and development tax credit.  These benefits were partially offset by adjustments to the Company's unrecognized tax benefit reserves and the effects of permanent items.
