INCOME TAXES

In the three months ended April 1, 2012, the Company's income tax provision of $1.4 million on a loss before income taxes and equity in losses of unconsolidated investees of $69.7 million was primarily due to projected tax expense in profitable foreign jurisdictions. In the three months ended April 3, 2011, the Company's income tax benefit was $15.8 million on a loss before income taxes and equity in earnings of unconsolidated investees of $25.1 million was primarily due to domestic and foreign losses in certain jurisdictions, nondeductible amortization of purchased intangible assets, nondeductible equity compensation, amortization of debt discount from convertible debentures, mark-to-market fair value adjustments, changes in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and discrete stock option deductions. The Company determines its interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective tax rate methodology except in jurisdictions where the Company anticipates or has a year-to-date ordinary loss for which no tax benefit can be recognized. In these jurisdictions, tax expense is computed based on an actual or discrete method.
