INCOME TAXES	10. INCOME TAXES The Company’s reported tax rate was 28.5% for the three month period ended July 2, 2011, and 26.5% for the three month period ended July 3, 2010. Our reported tax rate is lower than the federal statutory tax rate in both periods reported primarily due to lower foreign tax rates, including tax benefits associated with our Swiss operations. The reported tax rate was higher for the three months ended July 2, 2011 as compared to the prior year primarily due to a $0.8 million benefit recorded during the three months ended July 3, 2010 from the release of a foreign reserve as a result of a foreign jurisdictional ruling. We conduct business globally and, as a result, file consolidated federal, consolidated and separate 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 in jurisdictions including the U.S., Japan, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or foreign income tax examinations for years before 2007.
