NOTE 10: INCOME TAXES
Income tax provisions for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2012 were $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The tax benefit for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $0.7 million and the tax expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was $0.1 million. Income tax provisions for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2012 reflect expenses for foreign income taxes and state taxes. The tax benefit for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was primarily due to the release of tax liabilities in foreign jurisdictions. The tax expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 was primarily comprised of foreign income taxes and state taxes largely reduced by the release of tax liabilities in foreign jurisdictions. We have provided a full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets due to our history of net losses, difficulty in predicting future results and our conclusion that we cannot rely on projections of future taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining our deferred tax assets and liabilities and valuation allowances for purposes of assessing our ability to realize any future benefit from our net deferred tax assets. We intend to maintain this valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal or decrease in this allowance. Future income tax expense will be reduced to the extent that we have sufficient positive evidence to support a reversal of, or decrease in, our valuation allowance. |
