Income Taxes:

The Company’s effective income tax rate decreased to 36.5% in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to 36.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2015. For the first nine months of fiscal 2016, our effective income tax rate decreased to 36.7% compared to 37.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2015. The decrease in the effective income tax rate was due principally to the availability of federal and state tax incentives.
