The unrecognized income tax benefit at September 30, 2015 was $7.4 million, including interest and penalties. During the current quarter, there was a decrease of $7.1 million in unrecognized income tax benefit resulting from the adjustment by a foreign tax authority as a result of a tax audit. The unrecognized income tax benefit was related to a net operating loss carryforward that carried a full valuation allowance. As a result, the related deferred tax asset was decreased by the same amount. Within the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that up to $1.2 million of unrecognized income tax benefits will be recognized upon settlement of tax examinations and the expiration of various statutes of limitations.
