      8 &amp;#8211; Taxes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;

    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25; MARGIN: 0pt" id="PARA1118"&gt;

      &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman, Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;The

      Company&amp;#8217;s provision for income taxes for the quarters

      ended June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012 is comprised primarily

      of foreign income tax withholdings, state minimum income

      taxes, and interest and penalties on income tax

      reserves.&lt;/font&gt;

    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25; MARGIN: 0pt" id="PARA1120"&gt;

      &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman, Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;As

      of June 29, 2013, the Company has recorded a deferred tax

      liability of approximately $1.0 million for foreign income

      tax, which represents a 10% Honduran dividend withholding tax

      on the undistributed earnings of its Honduran subsidiary.

      These foreign withholding taxes will generate income tax

      credits in the U.S. when such amounts are paid, but this tax

      credit benefit is not currently recognized due to a full

      valuation allowance on the Company&amp;#8217;s deferred tax

      assets.&lt;/font&gt;

    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25; MARGIN: 0pt" id="PARA1122"&gt;

      &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman, Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;As

      of June 29, 2013, unrecognized tax benefits of approximately

      $4.6 million, including approximately $2.2 million of accrued

      interest and penalties, is included in &lt;i&gt;Other long-term

      liabilities&lt;/i&gt; in the unaudited condensed consolidated

      balance sheet. The Company anticipates that total

      unrecognized tax benefits will decrease by approximately $2.3

      million, including interest and penalties of approximately

      $0.9 million, due to the expiration of statutes of limitation

      within the next twelve months.&lt;/font&gt;

    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25; MARGIN: 0pt" id="PARA1123"&gt;

      &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman, Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;The

      Company maintains a full valuation allowance on all of the

      net deferred tax assets due to the significant negative

      evidence in regards to future realization of these net

      deferred tax assets as of June 29, 2013 and June 30, 2012.

      Excluding the valuation allowances on net deferred tax

      assets, the Company would have recognized tax expense from

      continuing operations of $1.3 million or an effective tax

      rate of 45.2% due to pre-tax income in the three months ended

      June 29, 2013, and tax expense from continuing operations of

      $0.2 million or a negative effective tax rate of 14.6% due to

      losses incurred for the six months ended June 29, 2013.

      Excluding the valuation allowances on net deferred tax

      assets, the Company would have recognized a tax benefit from

      continuing operations of $0.5 million or an effective tax

      rate of 18.0% and a tax benefit from continuing operations of

      $1.3 million or an effective tax rate of 19.6% due to losses

      incurred in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012,

      respectively. The effective tax rates vary from the statutory

      rates due to foreign income taxes, interest and penalties on

      income tax reserves, losses, and certain non-deductible

      expenses.&lt;/font&gt;

    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 1.25; MARGIN: 0pt" id="PARA1125"&gt;

      &lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman, Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"&gt;As

      of December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss

      carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes of $50.3

      million expiring from 2019 to 2032. The Company had state net

      operating loss carryforwards of $71.8 million as of December

      31, 2012 expiring from 2013 to 2032. Valuation allowances

      were established for all of these federal and state net

      operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of their

      future usage. In July 2013, the Company&amp;#8217;s Board of

      Directors, in consultation with management and the

      Company&amp;#8217;s professional advisors, completed an

      examination of past trading and corporate actions that could

      affect the Company&amp;#8217;s net operating loss carryforwards.

      As a result of this examination, the Board of Directors

      determined that on March 7, 2013, the Company underwent an

      ownership change as defined by Section 382 of the Internal

      Revenue Code and, as a result, the Company will be

      significantly limited in its future use of federal and state

      net operating loss carryforwards generated prior to March 7,

      2013 pursuant to the provisions of Section 382 and related

      sections of the Internal Revenue Code.&lt;/font&gt;
