          The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2011, and August 31, 2010, was 17.1% and 44.2%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2011, was substantially impacted by a decrease in uncertain tax positions in connection with the completion of various income tax examinations during the six months ended August 31, 2011. The Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended August 31, 2010, includes the recognition of a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets in the U.K. of $30.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in uncertain tax positions in connection with the completion of various income tax examinations during the six months ended August 31, 2010.
          The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2011, and August 31, 2010, was 2.3% and 38.8%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended August 31, 2011, was substantially impacted by a decrease in uncertain tax positions in connection with the completion of various income tax examinations during the three months ended August 31, 2011.
