Income Taxes	Income Taxes The effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended July 30, 2016 was 32.5% compared to 59.9% for the three months ended August 1, 2015. The decrease in the rate for the three months ended July 30, 2016 is primarily due to the prior year impact of cash repatriation and transaction-related costs incurred related to the acquisition of Animal Health International, Inc.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we approved a one-time repatriation of approximately $200,000 of foreign earnings. This one-time repatriation reduced the overall cost of funding the acquisition of Animal Health International, Inc.

The continuing operations tax impact of $11,800 from the repatriation was recorded during the first three months of fiscal 2016.
