10. INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate from continuing operations during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2012 was 28.6% and 32.5%, respectively, as compared to a tax rate of 69.5% and 52.3% for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2011, respectively.

The difference between the effective tax rate as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34.0% and 35.0% during the third quarter of fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 resulted from our geographical distribution of taxable income or losses, apportionment of income to various states, return to provision adjustments, and the release of ASC-740 income tax reserves. There were no changes in judgment during the third quarter regarding the beginning-of-year valuation allowance which would require a benefit to be excluded from the annual effective tax rate and allocated to the interim period.
