Income Taxes [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | ###### 6 Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2012 was 45.1% compared to 15.9% in the corresponding period of the prior year. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company recognized a tax expense of $5,995 on income before income tax of $13,278. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2012 versus the prior year period was primarily due to the U.S. no longer applying a valuation allowance, which resulted in recognition of federal and state income tax expense for businesses in the U.S. In addition, increased losses in foreign jurisdictions that carry valuation allowances resulted in no recognition of a tax benefit related to those losses. For the six months ended March 30, 2012 and April 1, 2011, the Company’s effective income tax rate attributable to earnings before income taxes was 57.4% and 8.6%, respectively. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended March 30, 2012 versus the prior year period was primarily due to the U.S. no longer applying a valuation allowance, which resulted in recognition of federal and state income tax expense for businesses in the U.S. for the six month period ended March 30, 2012. In addition, increased losses in foreign jurisdictions that carry valuation allowances resulted in no recognition of a tax benefit related to those losses. Further contributing to the difference in effective tax rates, the Company had recognized a tax benefit in the six month period ended April 1, 2011 related to the recovery of alternative minimum taxes paid for certain prior tax years. During the six months ended March 30, 2012, the Company continued to maintain a valuation allowance in Japan, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, and France. A valuation allowance remains for various state and federal U.S. deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that the asset will not be realized due to a lack of apportioned income and/or limited carryforward periods. The Company would ordinarily recognize a tax expense/benefit on operating income/loss in these jurisdictions; however, due to the recent cumulative losses for book purposes and the uncertainty of the realization of certain deferred tax assets in these jurisdictions, the Company continues to adjust its valuation allowances resulting in effectively no recorded tax expense or benefit in these jurisdictions. T he Company regularly assesses the adequacy of its provisions for income tax contingencies in accordance with the applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes. As a result, the Company may adjust the reserves for unrecognized tax benefits for the impact of new facts and developments, such as changes to interpretations of relevant tax law, assessments from taxing authorities, settlements with taxing authorities, and lapses of statutes of limitation. The Company’s 2012 fiscal year tax expense will include approximately $594 related to uncertain income tax positions. The ongoing tax audit in Japan is a significant item that impacts the uncertain income tax amount. In accordance with its accounting policy, the Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. The Company is projecting accrued interest, for the Company’s fiscal year ending September 28, 2012, of $114. The Company is currently undergoing income tax examinations in the Netherlands, Canada, Italy, Japan, and the United States. The Company files income tax returns, including returns for its subsidiaries, with federal, state, local and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The following tax years remain subject to examination by the respective tax jurisdictions:
