Income Taxes
6. Income Taxes:
     As of September 30, 2011, we had approximately $1.1 million in total gross unrecognized tax benefits. Of this amount, $0.7 million (net of federal benefit on state issues), if recognized, would be recorded through the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of September 30, 2011, we recognized $0.1 million (net of federal tax benefits) in interest and penalties in income tax expense in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740.
     The IRS completed its examination of our consolidated tax returns for the years ended 2008 — 2009 and we reached a settlement with the IRS on April 7, 2011, which resulted in an immaterial impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
     We are currently under examination for our U.S. federal income taxes for 2010 and 2011 and are subject to examination by numerous other taxing authorities in the U.S. and in jurisdictions such as Australia, Belgium, France, Canada, and Germany. We are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by taxing authorities for years before 2005.
     Since January 1, 2011, numerous states including Arizona, Illinois, New Jersey, Indiana and Michigan have enacted legislation effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2011, including changes to rates, to apportionment methods and to overall taxation systems. We believe any adjustments will be immaterial.
