There are differences between income taxes computed using the federal statutory rate (35% for 2001, 2000, and 1999) and our effective income tax rates (35.8%, 35.7%, and 35.1% for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively), primarily as the result of state income taxes, foreign income taxes and certain tax credits available to the Company. Foreign net income for SENZ for 2001 was $1,234,919. New Zealand’s statutory rate and effective tax rate are 33%. Reconciliations of income taxes computed using the statutory rate to the effective income tax rates are as follows:
