Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The quarterly income tax provision is calculated using an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon expected annual income, permanent items, statutory rates and planned tax strategies in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. However, losses in certain jurisdictions and discrete items, such as the resolution of uncertain tax positions, are treated separately. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying value of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The Company records a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. Our expectations regarding realization of our deferred tax assets is based upon the weight of all available evidence, including such factors as our recent earnings history and expected future taxable income. The Company maintains a valuation allowance with respect to certain state and foreign net operating losses that may not be recovered. Each quarter the valuation allowance is re-evaluated. The only significant change in the valuation allowance during the nine months ended June 30, 2012, was increasing a valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets in China for the current period net operating loss. The Company classifies uncertain tax positions as non-current income taxes payable unless expected to be paid within one year. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011 a $0.2 million uncertain tax position was resolved favorably. At June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively. If recognized, these amounts would favorably impact the effective tax rate. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2012, and September 20, 2011, the Company has an accrual for potential interest and penalties of approximately $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The Company and one or more of its subsidiaries file income tax returns in The Netherlands, Germany, France, China and Hong Kong, as well as the U.S. and various states in the U.S. The Company and its subsidiaries have a number of open tax years dictated by statute in each of the respective taxing jurisdictions, which are generally from 3 to 5 years. These open years contain certain matters that could be subject to differing interpretations of applicable tax laws and regulations as they relate to the amount, timing, or inclusion of revenues and expenses, or the sustainability of income tax positions of the Company and its subsidiaries. The IRS examination for fiscal year ending September 30, 2009 was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 without adjustment.
