Federal valuation allowance (8.5)% 28.0% 32.5%
Other 4.1% 6.8% 1.2%

The effects of temporary differences that gave rise to our deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows:

(a) Included in prepaid expenses and other as of October 31, 2008 and accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of
October 31, 2007.
(b) Included in other long-term liabilities as of October 31, 2008 and other assets as of October 31, 2007.
The valuation allowance for deferred taxes is primarily attributable to net operating losses for which no
benefit is provided due to uncertainty with respect to their realization. In addition, during the year ended
October 31, 2008, we recorded a deferred tax benefit of $143 and a corresponding reduction to additional
paid-in-capital for the cancellation of certain stock options.
