Operating expenses increased 9% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the same quarter a year ago primarily due to increased headcount and related salaries. Selling and marketing expenses increased 5% in the current year third quarter to $22.0 million, or 7% of total revenue, from $20.9 million, or 7% of prior year third quarter revenue. Research and development expenses increased 9% to $17.5 million, or 6% of total revenue, from $16.0 million, or 6% of total revenue, for the third quarter in fiscal 2013. General and administrative costs increased 14% in the current year third quarter to $13.6 million, or 5% of total revenue, from $12.0 million, or 4% of total revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, operating expenses decreased 4% to $153.9 million, compared to $160.1 million for the same period a year ago. Selling and marketing expenses increased 6% in the nine months ended March 31, 2014 to $64.6 million from $61.1 million in the prior year, and remained at 7% of total revenue for both fiscal years. Research and development expenses increased 6% to $49.3 million, or 5% of total revenue, for fiscal 2014 year to date, from $46.3 million, or 6% of total revenue, last year. General and administrative costs decreased 24% to $40.0 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2014, from $52.7 million for the same period a year ago, and also decreased to 4% of total revenue in fiscal 2014 from 6% in fiscal 2013. The decrease in general and administrative costs is primarily due to the prior year expenses related to the flooding at our Lyndhurst, New Jersey item processing center.
Operating income increased 9% to $71.4 million, or 24% of third quarter revenue, compared to $65.7 million, or 23% of revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2013. Provision for income taxes increased 30% in the current third quarter compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2013 and is 34.3% of income before income taxes this quarter compared to 29.0% of income before income taxes for the same period in fiscal 2013.

Year to date operating income was 26% of total revenue in fiscal 2014 compared to 23% in the prior fiscal year. Provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes increased to 35.0% year to date in fiscal 2014 from 31.9% year to date in fiscal 2013. Net income for the nine month period totaled $150.5 million for fiscal 2014, or $1.76 per diluted share, compared to $129.0 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, for fiscal 2013.
According to Kevin Williams, CFO, "our effective tax rate in the provision for income taxes increase for the quarter was due primarily to the Research and Experimentation Credit (“R&E Credit”), being signed into law during the third fiscal quarter last year, which was a retroactive extension for the previous calendar year and resulted in five quarters of credit being recorded in this quarter a year ago; compounded by the credit expiring again on December 31, 2013. The increase in the provision for the first nine months is due to this and the release of other previously unrecognized tax benefits in the first half of last fiscal year."
For the third quarter of fiscal 2014, the bank systems and services segment revenue increased 6% to $226.3 million from $213.0 million in the same quarter last year. Gross margin was 40% in both the current and prior year fiscal quarters.
