Income Taxes

Note 8. Income Taxes

Income tax expense relates principally to operating results of foreign entities in jurisdictions, primarily in Europe and Asia, where the Company earns taxable income. The Company has significant net operating losses in the United States and certain jurisdictions and, as a result, does not pay significant income taxes in those jurisdictions. In the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a non-cash tax expense of $0.4 million related to a write-off of a deferred tax asset in one of its European jurisdictions.
