| Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
| Income Taxes | 15. INCOME TAXES We are subject to income tax in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may also be subject to current U.S. income tax. For interim periods, we record a tax provision or benefit based upon the estimated effective tax rate expected for the full fiscal year, adjusted for material discrete taxation matters arising during the interim periods. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% and our effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended April 1, 2016 and April 3, 2015, was primarily impacted in all periods by changes in fair values of the common stock warrant liability which is neither deductible nor taxable for tax purposes, income taxed in foreign jurisdictions at generally lower tax rates, non-deductible compensation, research and development tax credits and non-deductible merger expenses, offset by U.S. state income taxes.
The balance of the unrecognized tax benefit for the three and six months ending April 1, 2016 did not change and remained at $1.7 million. The unrecognized tax benefits primarily relate to positions taken by us in our 2014 US tax filings. The entire balance of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will reduce income tax expense. It is our policy to recognize any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the quarter ending April 1, 2016, we did not make any payment of interest and penalties. As disclosed in Note 2 - Acquisitions, our purchase accounting for the FiBest Acquisition, including income taxes, is preliminary and subject to revision upon obtaining and analyzing additional information. At the closing of the FiBest Acquisition, we recorded, on a preliminary basis, a deferred income tax asset relating to net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $2.6 million. The aggregate net deferred income tax liability acquired in the FiBest Acquisition is estimated to be $12.9 million which includes the net deferred income tax asset of $2.6 million relating to NOL carryforwards and a net deferred income tax liability of $15.5 million related to the difference between the book and tax basis of the intangible and other assets acquired. We do not anticipate the recording of any deferred taxes associated with the Metelics Acquisition due to a Section 338(h) (10) election which will permit us to have tax basis equal to the purchase price. |
