Income Taxes	Note 11: Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was 32.4% compared to 36.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, and was 33.6% for the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to 36.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2013. Impacting our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014 was the release of a portion of the valuation allowance relating to our U.S. state deferred tax assets, resulting in a net tax benefit of $0.9 million. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014 we determined that the valuation allowance should be reversed because we believed that it had become more likely than not that the value of those deferred tax assets would be realized. This determination was primarily the result of our assessment of our cumulative pre-tax income in a certain jurisdiction. Absent this discrete adjustment, the effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 would have been 35.8%, and for the first six months of fiscal 2014 would have been 35.7%.

Note 11: Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was 32.4% compared to 36.1% for the second quarter of fiscal 2013, and was 33.6% for the first six months of fiscal 2014 compared to 36.5% for the first six months of fiscal 2013.
