Note 11 – Income Tax

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $531 and $1,481 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and a benefit from income taxes of $107 and $99 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.  The effective tax rate was 65.9 % for six months ended June 30, 2011and (2.3) % for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The primary reason for the change in the effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, is due to an impairment charge for goodwill and the impact of the valuation allowance during 2010. The Company's effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to various factors, such as tax legislation, the mix of domestic and international pre-tax income, research and development credits, foreign tax credits, share-based compensations and change in valuation allowance.

The impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant tax authority.  An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company identified and recorded unrecognized tax benefits in the amount of approximately $394, but no interest and penalties have been recorded due to the immaterial impact to the financial statements.  Management does not expect material changes in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next twelve months.
