The rate for the nine months ended November 30, 2008 differs from the Federal statutory rate primarily due to approximately $175,000 of research and development tax credits applied to the fiscal 2008 tax year and approximately $150,000 of research and development tax credits anticipated for the fiscal 2009 tax year. These amounts were offset partially by an increase of approximately $42,000 related to transfer pricing adjustments.
