The change in diluted net income per share year-over-year was influenced by a higher effective tax rate and an increase in diluted shares outstanding. The Company's effective tax rate increased to 17.1% in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from 3.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as the Company is no longer recognizing an income statement benefit from the use of its deferred tax assets due to the release of its valuation allowance in fiscal 2007.
