Management is required to estimate the annual effective tax rate based upon its forecast of annual pre-tax earnings. To the extent the actual pre-tax results or anticipated permanent tax differences for the year differ from forecasted estimates applied at the end of the most recent interim period, the actual tax rate recognized in fiscal 2012 could be materially different from the forecasted rate as of the end of the nine-month period of fiscal 2012.

Income tax expense for the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2012 and the third quarter and nine-month period of fiscal 2011 were calculated using the estimated annual effective income tax rates of 39.0% for fiscal 2012 and of 36.8% for fiscal 2011, respectively.

FASB ASC 740-10 (the overall Subtopic of topic 740 on income taxes) prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. During the nine-month period of fiscal 2012, there were no changes in evaluations made under FASB ASC 740-10. There were no reserves for uncertain tax positions existing at the end of the nine-month period of fiscal 2012 or at the end of fiscal 2011.
