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 our 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 31.6% of pretax income compared to 34.7% for the prior year quarter. For the current six-month period, the effective tax rate is 32.7% compared to 34.3% in the prior year six-month period. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 was lowered by a one-time recognition of a tax benefit from foreign net operating losses. The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended March 31, 2013 was lowered by a one-time recognition of a tax benefit from state and foreign net operating losses.
