other | [1] | (35.80%) | (5.70%) | (1.70%)
Consolidated Effective Income Tax Rate | [2] | (888.00%) | 70.70% | (43.70%)
[1] | “Other” for all periods presented represents miscellaneous adjustments that pertain to U.S. permanent differences such as meals and entertainment and income tax provision to return adjustments.
[2] | Our consolidated effective income tax rates for all fiscal years presented were negatively affected by the mix of consolidated (loss) income before income taxes from continuing operations, as significant pre-tax losses have been incurred by our U.S. operations and almost all our taxable income was earned by our foreign operations located in China and Canada, which have higher income tax rates than the U.S. As a result, income tax expense incurred stems from taxable income from our foreign jurisdictions that exceeds our consolidated (loss) income before income taxes from continuing operations. Accordingly, the extent of the fluctuations in our consolidated effective income tax rates is dependent on the extent income tax expense incurred from our foreign operations compares with our consolidated (loss) income before income taxes from continuing operations that has been significantly lowered by our U.S. operations.
