Income Taxes
 
In the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a net income tax expense of $330,000 and $6,000, respectively. The income tax provision for the second quarter of 2013 includes (i) income taxes from our foreign operations which are cost-plus entities; and (ii) a charge of $273,000 relating to the reclassification of the tax effect of historical unrealized gains on our investment in TowerJazz, previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, or AOCI. The income tax expense for the second quarter of 2012 was primarily from our foreign operations.

Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company's net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, with the exception of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the associated deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets in future periods.
 
The Company had approximately $79,000 of unrecognized tax benefits at both June 30, 2013 and December 30, 2012. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $37,000 of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
 
The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. income tax audits by taxing authorities for fiscal years through 1997.
