Excluding the impact of any discrete tax items, our fiscal 2014 effective tax rate is expected to approximate 36.5%. This rate reflects the expiration of the federal research and experimentation credit on December 31, 2013.

Of these amounts, $2,474,000 and $2,348,000, respectively, net of the reversal of the federal benefit recognized as deferred tax assets relating to state reserves, excluding interest, would positively impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. Unrecognized tax benefits result from income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on our income tax returns for which a tax benefit has not been recorded in our financial statements.
