Income Taxes:

The Company's effective income tax rate increased to 37.6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 35.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was principally a reflection of two favorable items in the prior year quarter that were not present in the current quarter. The first quarter of 2013 benefited from the reversal of reserves for uncertain tax positions and the reinstatement of the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit that was approved by Congress in the early part of the prior year quarter. The Company expects the 2014 full year effective tax rate will be approximately 37.0%.
