Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was 29.2%, compared with 37.7% in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The lower effective tax rate in fiscal 2015 was the result of the Company finalizing a federal research and experimentation tax credit for fiscal years 2011 through 2014 of $1.1 million.
