Note 4 – Income Taxes

Income tax expense was $2.3 million on pretax income of $37.6 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, as compared to an income tax expense of $13.2 million on pretax income of $49.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 2010. During the quarter, we completed a reorganization of our legal entity structure and refinanced intercompany debt. As a result of these activities and lower taxable income in the United States and Canada, our annual effective book tax rate is expected to be lower than our statutory rates. Also during the quarter, we made significant progress in settling intercompany transfer pricing issues between Canada and the United States and expect to receive income tax refunds approximating $7.0 million within the next 12 months.
