The total amount of unrecognized tax benefit at both April 28, 2013 and October 28, 2012 was $0.3 million, all of which would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. We do not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to occur within the next twelve months.
