7.           Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rate was 41.4% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared with 42.6% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010. In determining our quarterly provision for income taxes, we use an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on our expected annual income, statutory tax rates, nontaxable and nondeductible items of income and expense and the ultimate outcome of tax audits.

The Company follows ASC Topic 740-10-25 in Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Topic 740 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. As of September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a $0.4 million liability for unrecognized tax benefits, a portion of which represents penalties and interest.

As of September 30, 2011, we are subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for the tax years 2007 through 2010. We file tax returns in numerous state jurisdictions with varying statutes of limitations.
