13. Income Taxes

        CRA's effective income tax rates were 38.6% and 16.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and the first quarter of fiscal 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was lower than the combined federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to the geographical mix of earnings and certain items that were treated as discrete items in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was lower than CRA's combined federal and state statutory tax rate due to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards in the United Kingdom. The effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 was also impacted by a favorable tax settlement.
