As of March 30, 2013, we have approximately $1.9 million in U.S. acquisition and $0.6 million in foreign related net operating loss carry forwards that it believes are more likely than not that they will be realized. We also have $2.6 million in gross federal and state tax credits available to offset future tax. We have established valuation allowances to reduce the value of tax assets to amounts that it deems to be realizable. The valuation allowance is made up of $0.4 million acquisition related R&D credits and $0.6 million acquisition related net operating losses for fiscal 2013 and $0.4 million and $1.2 million respectively for fiscal 2012. The net operating loss carry forwards are subject to separate limitations and will expire beginning in 2020.

Approximately $200.0 million of our foreign subsidiary undistributed earnings are deemed to be permanently reinvested outside the U.S. Accordingly, we have not provided U.S. income taxes on these earnings. The income tax provision from operations differs from tax provision computed at the 35% U.S. federal statutory income tax rate due to the following:

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

Unrecognized tax benefits represent uncertain tax positions for which reserves have been established. As of March 30, 2013, we had $6.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $6.7 million will impact the effective tax rate, if recognized. As of March 31, 2012, we had $6.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, of which $6.6 million will impact the effective tax rate, if recognized.

During the fiscal year ended March 30, 2013 our unrecognized tax benefits were increased by $0.5 million as a result of additional tax benefits arising in the prior year return and current year.

The following table summarizes the activity related to our gross unrecognized tax benefits for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2013, March 31, 2012 and April 2, 2011:



(In thousands)	March 30, 2013			March 31, 2012			April 2, 2011
Beginning Balance	$	6,885		$	4,669		$	4,620
Additions based upon positions related to the current year	1,192			1,124			20
Additions for tax positions of prior years	18			1,216			1,641
Reductions of tax positions	—			(124		)	(1,042		)
Settlements with taxing authorities	(80		)	—			—
Closure of statute of limitations	(1,085		)	—			(570		)
Ending Balance	$	6,930		$	6,885		$	4,669

As of March 30, 2013 we anticipate that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions could change by up to $0.4 million in the next twelve months, as a result of closure of various foreign statutes of limitations.

Our historic practice has been and continues to be to recognize interest and penalties related to Federal, state and foreign income tax matters in income tax expense. Approximately $0.8 million and $1.0 million is accrued for interest at March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively and is not included in the amounts above.

We conduct business globally and, as a result, file consolidated and separate Federal, state and foreign income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. With a few exceptions overseas, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or foreign income tax examinations for years before 2009.
