13. Income Taxes

        The Company's effective income tax rates were 16.0% and 86.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2012, respectively. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was lower than the Company's combined federal and state statutory tax rate due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the United Kingdom and a favorable tax settlement. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 was higher than the statutory rate primarily due to losses in foreign jurisdictions that provided no tax benefit.
