*These amounts have been recorded as part of the income statement provision for income taxes. The income statement effects of these amounts have largely been offset by amounts related to changes in other deferred tax balance sheet accounts.
**The change in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2014 is primarily due to the effect of foreign currency translation on a valuation allowance related to a net operating loss carryforward. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded amounts associated with the tax benefit related to stock option plans in additional paid-in capital.
