INCOME TAXES
NOTE 9: INCOME TAXES
Income tax expense is provided at the U.S. tax rate on financial statement earnings, adjusted for the difference between the U.S. tax rate and the rate of tax in effect for non-U.S. earnings deemed to be permanently reinvested in the Company's non-U.S. operations.  Deferred income taxes have not been provided for the potential remittance of non-U.S. undistributed earnings to the extent those earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested, or to the extent such recognition would result in a deferred tax asset.
The current quarter’s effective tax rate is 33.9% of pretax income compared to 33.9% for the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was lowered by a one-time recognition of a tax benefit from state net operating losses.
