H. Income taxes:

Income taxes for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2012 were provided at rates of 26.5% and 30.0% of consolidated earnings before income taxes, compared to 31.6% and 31.2% for the same prior-year periods. Included in income taxes for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2012 was a $3.0 million benefit due to the reversal of a deferred tax valuation allowance on the Company’s excess tax basis in investments in unconsolidated entities. The Company determined such valuation allowance was no longer necessary as a result of the Company’s unrealized gain on its CCXI investment at March 31, 2012. The Company has the intent and ability to sell a portion of its CCXI investment and realize a long-term capital gain to offset long-term capital losses from its investments in unconsolidated entities.
