9. INCOME TAXES

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of April 1, 2011, was $40.8 million, including interest and penalties. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, additional unrecognized tax benefits of $27,000 and $91,000 were recorded, respectively. The Company does not foresee significant changes to its estimated amount of liability associated with its uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months.

The Company's income tax expense consists of state taxes and foreign taxes. The federal statutory income tax rate was 35% for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company's income tax expense during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as compared to $0.2 million benefit and $0.4 million expense during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, respectively. The increase in income tax expense recorded for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010, is due to increased foreign taxes as a result of expired tax holidays in various foreign jurisdictions.
