On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (Act) was signed into law. The Act includes legislation which reinstated the United States research and development (“R&D”) tax credits through December 31, 2013, with an effective date that is retroactive to January 1, 2012. Because this legislation was enacted during the Company’s second quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company did not recognize any tax benefit related to R&D credits during the three-fiscal month period ended December 29, 2012. However, the retroactive reinstatement of the R&D tax credit is expected to provide the Company a retroactive tax benefit of approximately $1.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.
