INCOME TAXES
On a quarterly basis, we record our income tax expense or benefit based on our year-to-date results and expected results for the remainder of the year.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million and an income tax provision of $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. We recorded a $0.2 million income tax provision for each of the three and nine months ended October 2, 2011, respectively. The net tax provision for three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and October 2, 2011 is the result of the mix of profits earned by us, in tax jurisdictions with a broad range of income tax rates. The $0.2 million tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes a $0.2 million tax benefit related to the release of uncertain tax benefits due to a lapse of the statute of limitations. The $0.2 million tax provision for the nine months ended October 2, 2011 includes a $0.4 million tax benefit related to the release of uncertain tax benefits due to a lapse of the statute of limitations.
