NAI, through its Parent, expects to resolve, net of any state tax effect, matters relating to $6 of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months, representing several individually insignificant income tax positions. These unrecognized tax benefits represent items in which NAI may not prevail with certain taxing authorities, based on varying interpretations of the applicable tax law. NAI, through its Parent, is currently in various stages of audits, appeals or other methods of review with authorities from various taxing jurisdictions. The resolution of these unrecognized tax benefits would occur as a result of potential settlements of these negotiations. Based on the information available as of February 21, 2013, NAI does not anticipate significant additional changes to its unrecognized tax benefits. NAI recognized expense related to interest and penalties, net of settlement adjustments, of $7, $2 and $6 for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. NAI, through its Parent, is currently under examination or other methods of review in several tax jurisdictions and remains subject to examination until either the statute of limitations expires for the respective taxing jurisdiction or an agreement is reached between the taxing jurisdiction and NAI. As of February 21, 2013, NAI, through its Parent, is no longer subject to federal income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2007 and in most states is no longer subject to state income tax examinations for fiscal years before 2005.
