Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision of $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 respectively.
The income tax provisions for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012 consisted primarily of taxes on foreign income and U.S. state income taxes. The income tax provisions for both fiscal years were calculated based on the results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, and may not reflect the annual effective rate.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Significant management judgment is required in determining the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against the Company's net deferred tax assets. The Company makes an assessment of the likelihood that the Company's net deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income, and to the extent that recovery is not believed to be likely, a valuation allowance is established.  
The Company has a full valuation allowance against its U.S. net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance was calculated by assessing both negative and positive evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. Negative evidence, such as the Company's current quarter financial performance, the Company's significant restructuring in the current quarter, and the unfavorable macroeconomic climate were given more weight than our expectations of future profitability, which are inherently uncertain. Our current U.S. loss along with these negative factor represented sufficient negative evidence to require a full valuation allowance against our U.S. federal and state net deferred tax assets. This valuation allowance will be evaluated periodically and can be reversed partially or totally if business results have sufficiently improved to support realization of the Company's U.S. deferred tax assets.
The sale of the Company's buildings and land in Santa Clara, California during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 resulted in a tax loss that increased the amount of the Company's deferred tax assets with a corresponding increase to the related valuation allowance.
The Company had $25.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012. The future impact of the unrecognized tax benefit of $25.8 million, if recognized, is as follows: approximately $0.5 million would impact the effective tax rate, and approximately $25.3 million would result in adjustments to deferred tax assets and corresponding adjustments to the valuation allowance. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrealized tax benefit could decrease by approximately $0.2 million during the next twelve months due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in certain foreign jurisdictions.
Estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are classified as a component of tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income and were immaterial for both the three months and six months periods ended December 31, 2012. Accrued interest and penalties were $0.1 million and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.
In general, the Company's U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by tax authorities for fiscal years 1998 forward due to net operating losses and the Company's state income tax returns are subject to examination for fiscal years 2001 forward due to net operating losses.
