Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0.4 million, a decrease of $7.5 million, or 106%, compared to the year ended
December 31, 2009. The decrease was the result of a decrease of $7.6 million in pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2010 and a lower effective
tax rate, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. Our effective tax rate decreased to (3%) for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 35% for
the year ended December 31, 2009. The reduction in our effective tax rate was a result of changes in the geographic distribution of our income and the release
of the valuation allowance on net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets of our U.K. and Japan subsidiaries. In 2011, we expect our
income tax rate to increase to levels comparable to 2009.
