11. Income Taxes

 

As of March 30, 2013, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $2.0 million, of which $0.8 million would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. At September 29, 2012, the Company’s liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $1.7 million, of which $0.5 million would favorably affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of March 30, 2013, the Company does not expect significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

 

On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (Act) was signed into law. The Act includes legislation that reinstated the United States Research and Development (R&D) tax credit retroactively from January 1, 2012 and extends it through December 31, 2013. As a result of this legislation, the Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1.3 million during the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.
