Income Taxes:

The Company's effective income tax rate decreased to 36.7% in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 37.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 due principally to the timing of the recognition of certain state and federal tax credits. For the first six months of fiscal 2014, our effective tax rate increased to 36.9% compared to 36.8% for the first six months of fiscal 2013. The increase in the effective tax rate was due to a reduction in tax credits, principally the federal Wage Opportunity Tax Credit ("WOTC") which has not been reinstated for 2014. The Company expects the 2014 full year effective tax rate will be approximately 36.9%.
