INCOME TAXES	NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 10% as compared to 17% in the corresponding period in 2012, primarily due to difference in geographic mix of pretax income and the favorable impact of the retroactive research and development tax credit for the fiscal year 2012. The enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act in January 2013 resulted in the Company recording a net discrete tax benefit of $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2013. The Company's effective tax rates for the first quarters of fiscal years 2013 and 2012 are lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to discrete benefit from the reinstatement of the 2012 R&D tax in 2013 and favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions. The Company has not provided U.S. taxes for all of such earnings due to the indefinite reinvestment of some of those earnings outside the U.S. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state, and foreign income tax.

NOTE 11. INCOME TAXES

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 10% as compared to 17% in the corresponding period in 2012, primarily due to difference in geographic mix of pretax income and the favorable impact of the retroactive research and development tax credit for the fiscal year 2012. The enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act in January 2013 resulted in the Company recording a net discrete tax benefit of $3.6 million in the first quarter of 2013. The Company's effective tax rates for the first quarters of fiscal years 2013 and 2012 are lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to discrete benefit from the reinstatement of the 2012 R&D tax in 2013 and favorable tax rates associated with certain earnings from operations in lower-tax jurisdictions. The Company has not provided U.S. taxes for all of such earnings due to the indefinite reinvestment of some of those earnings outside the U.S.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal and state, and foreign income tax. The Company is currently in various stages of multiple year examinations by federal, state and foreign taxing authorities. Although timing of the resolution of audits is highly uncertain, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits as of March 29, 2013 will materially change in the next twelve months.

The unrecognized tax benefits of $42.4 million and $35.2 million as of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal year end 2012, respectively, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods. Unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in Other non-current liabilities and in the deferred tax accounts in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company's unrecognized tax benefit liabilities include interest and penalties as of the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and fiscal year end 2012, of $3.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively, which were recorded in Other non-current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
