12. Income Taxes

        CRA's effective income tax rates were 50.0% and 59.9% for the second quarters of fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 was higher than CRA's combined Federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to a non-cash tax expense recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to correct an error in its previously issued consolidated financial statements. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, CRA identified the prior period error, which was related to the valuation of deferred tax assets in CRA's previously issued consolidated financial statements, concluded that this error was not material to its prior reporting periods, and recorded a non-cash tax expense of approximately $0.8 million to correct this error.

        CRA's effective income tax rates were 44.7% and 37.9% for the fiscal year to date periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year to date period ended June 28, 2014 was higher than CRA's combined Federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to the approximately $0.8 million non-cash tax expense recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 to correct the error in CRA's previously issued consolidated financial statements, described earlier in this note 12, partially offset by certain favorable tax adjustments that were treated as discrete items in the first half of fiscal 2014.

        The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was higher than CRA's combined Federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to losses in foreign jurisdictions that provided no tax benefit. In addition, during the second quarter of fiscal 2013, CRA incurred a charge for a one-time tax adjustment of approximately $0.3 million. The effective tax rate for the fiscal year to date period ended June 29, 2013 was lower than CRA's combined Federal and state statutory tax rate primarily due to the favorable settlement of a tax matter in the first quarter of fiscal 2013, partially offset by a one-time tax adjustment recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and the effect of losses in foreign jurisdictions that provided no tax benefit in the first half of fiscal 2013.

        CRA has not provided for deferred income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings from its foreign subsidiaries as of June 28, 2014 because such earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. CRA does not rely on these unremitted earnings as a source of funds for its domestic business as it expects to have sufficient cash flow and availability from its U.S. credit lines to fund its U.S. operational and strategic needs. If CRA were to repatriate its foreign earnings that are indefinitely reinvested, it would incur minimal additional tax expense.
