Note 11 — Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is generally less than the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to the Company’s net operating losses in the U.S. and certain lower- or zero-rate foreign jurisdictions where the Company operates. The effective tax rate may be subject to fluctuations during the year as new information is obtained, which may affect the assumptions used to estimate the annual effective tax rate, including factors such as the mix of pre-tax earnings in the various tax jurisdictions applicable to the Company, valuation allowances against deferred tax assets, the recognition or derecognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions, if any, and changes in or the interpretation of tax laws in jurisdictions where the Company conducts business.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $219,000 and $314,000 for the three months ended April 4, 2014 and March 29, 2013, respectively, partially benefiting in the current quarter from the mix of pre-tax earnings in lower-rate foreign jurisdictions. There are no unrecognized tax benefits as of any period presented.
