Ref (a): For fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, we realized a $5.5 million and $4.6 million tax benefit, respectively, related to the release of a portion of our valuation allowance to reflect the amount of our deferred tax asset that we expect to realize in future years. This resulted in an improvement of net income per share basic and diluted for both fiscal years.
