Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Background and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

James Hardie Industries plc manufactures and sells fiber cement building products for interior and exterior building construction applications, primarily in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Europe.

Basis of Presentation

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of James Hardie Industries plc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a special purpose entity. Except as otherwise indicated, James Hardie Industries plc is referred to as “JHI plc.” JHI plc, together with its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, are collectively referred to as “James Hardie” or the “Company.” These interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2015, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on 21 May 2015.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, are necessary to state fairly the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company at 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 and Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014.

The Company has recorded on its balance sheet certain assets and liabilities, including asbestos-related assets and liabilities under the terms of the Amended and Restated Final Funding Agreement (“AFFA”), that are denominated in Australian dollars and subject to translation into US dollars at each reporting date. Unless otherwise noted, the exchange rates used to convert Australian dollar denominated amounts into US dollars in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are as follows:

|  | 31 March |  |  | 30 June |
(US$1 = A$) |  | 2015 |  |  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
Assets and liabilities |  |  | 1.3096 |  |  |  | 1.3028 |  |  |  | 1.0613 |
Statements of operations |  |  | n/a |  |  |  | 1.2854 |  |  |  | 1.0720 |
Cash flows - beginning cash |  |  | n/a |  |  |  | 1.3096 |  |  |  | 1.0845 |
Cash flows - ending cash |  |  | n/a |  |  |  | 1.3028 |  |  |  | 1.0613 |
Cash flows - current period movements |  |  | n/a |  |  |  | 1.2854 |  |  |  | 1.0720 |

The results of operations for the three months ended 30 June 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at 31 March 2015 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for complete financial statements in this interim financial report.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, which provides guidance requiring companies to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the payment to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2016, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is not permitted. However, in July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date of this ASU to annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2017. Also, early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after 15 December 2016. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt ASU No. 2014-09. The Company is still evaluating the new standard and has not yet determined the potential effects on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, which provides explicit guidance about the accounting for consolidation of certain legal entities. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect this new standard to materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2015, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance shall be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-03 starting with the fiscal year beginning 1 April 2016. The Company does not expect this new standard to materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, which requires inventory to be measured at the lower of cost or realizable value. The amendments in ASU No. 2015-11 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2016, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance shall be applied on a prospective basis. The Company will adopt ASU 2015-03 starting with the fiscal year beginning 1 April 2016. The Company does not expect this new standard to materially impact its consolidated financial statements.

3. Earnings Per Share

The Company discloses basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated using net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares calculated using the Treasury Method that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares, such as stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”), had been issued.

F-7

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Accordingly, basic and dilutive common shares outstanding used in determining net income per share are as follows:

|  | Three Months Ended 30 June |
(Millions of shares) |  | 2015 |  |  | 2014 |
Basic common shares outstanding |  |  | 445.7 |  |  |  | 444.7 |
Dilutive effect of stock awards |  |  | 1.7 |  |  |  | 1.3 |
Diluted common shares outstanding |  |  | 447.4 |  |  |  | 446.0 |
(US dollars) |  |  | 2015 |  |  |  | 2014 |
Net income per share - basic |  | $ | 0.13 |  |  | $ | 0.06 |
Net income per share - diluted |  | $ | 0.13 |  |  | $ | 0.06 |

Potential common shares of 0.8 million and 1.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Unless they are anti-dilutive, RSUs which vest solely based on continued employment are considered to be outstanding as of their issuance date for purposes of computing diluted EPS and are included in the calculation of diluted EPS using the Treasury Method. Once these RSUs vest, they are included in the basic EPS calculation on a weighted-average basis.

RSUs which vest based on performance or market conditions are considered contingent shares. At each reporting date prior to the end of the contingency period, the Company determines the number of contingently issuable shares to include in the diluted EPS, as the number of shares that would be issuable under the terms of the RSUs arrangement, if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Once these RSUs vest, they are included in the basic EPS calculation on a weighted-average basis.

4. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents

Included in restricted cash and cash equivalents is US$5.0 million related to an insurance policy at 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, which restricts the cash from use for general corporate purposes.

5. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following components:

|  | 30 June |  |  | 31 March |
(Millions of US dollars) |  | 2015 |  |  | 2015 |
Finished goods |  | $ | 149.0 |  |  | $ | 150.6 |
Work-in-process |  |  | 8.4 |  |  |  | 6.6 |

As of 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, US$23.3 million and US$22.2 million, respectively, of the Company’s finished goods inventory was held at third-party locations.

6. Long-Term Debt

The Company holds two forms of long-term debt; bilateral credit facilities and senior unsecured notes. The effective weighted average interest rate on the Company’s total debt was 5.2% and 5.0% at 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, respectively. The weighted average term of all long-term debt, including undrawn facilities, is 4.1 years at 30 June 2015.

Bilateral Credit Facilities

At 30 June 2015, the Company’s bilateral credit facilities consisted of:

Description |  | Effective Interest Rate |  |  | Total Facility |  |  | Principal Drawn |
(US$ millions) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Term facilities, can be drawn in US$, variable interest rates based on LIBOR plus margin, can be repaid and redrawn until March 2016 |  |  | - |  |  | $ | 50.0 |  |  |  | - |

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The amount drawn under the combined bilateral credit facilities was US$60.0 million and US$75.0 million at 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, respectively.

The effective weighted average interest rate on the Company’s total outstanding bilateral credit facilities was 1.4% at 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015. The weighted average term of all bilateral credit facilities is 2.2 years at 30 June 2015. The weighted average fixed interest rate on the Company’s interest rate swap contracts is set forth in Note 8.

The interest rate is calculated two business days prior to the commencement of each draw-down period based on the US$ London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus the margins of individual lenders and is payable at the end of each draw-down period.

At 30 June 2015, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants contained in its bilateral credit facility agreements. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, the Company (i) must not exceed a maximum of net debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, excluding all income, expense and other profit and loss statement impacts of Asbestos Injuries Compensation Fund (“AICF”), ABN 60 Pty Limited (“ABN 60”) and two of its former subsidiaries, Amaca Pty Limited (“Amaca”) and Amaba Pty Limited (“Amaba” and together with ABN 60 and Amaca, the “Former James Hardie Companies”) and Marlew Mining Pty Limited (“Marlew”) and excluding assets, liabilities and other balance sheet items of AICF, the Former James Hardie Companies and Marlew, (ii) must meet or exceed a minimum ratio of earnings before interest and taxes to net interest charges, excluding all income, expense and other profit and loss statement impacts of AICF, the Former James Hardie Companies and Marlew, and (iii) must ensure that no more than 35% of Free Cash Flow (as defined in the AFFA), in any given financial year (“Annual Cash Flow Cap”) is contributed to AICF on the payment dates under the AFFA in the next following financial year. The Annual Cash Flow Cap does not apply to payments of interest, if any, to AICF and is consistent with contractual obligations of James Hardie 117 Pty Ltd (the “Performing Subsidiary”) and the Company under the AFFA.

Subsequent to 30 June 2015, the Company drew US$233.0 million from its combined bilateral credit facilities to fund dividend payments and the AICF contribution payment.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In February 2015, James Hardie International Finance Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of JHI plc, completed the sale of US$325.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 15 February 2023. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on 15 February and 15 August of each year, commencing 15 August 2015, at a rate of 5.875%.

The senior notes were sold at an offering price of 99.213% of par value, an original issue discount of US$2.6 million. Debt issuance costs of US$8.3 million were recorded in Other Current and Other Non-Current Assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet in conjunction with the offering. Both the discount and the debt issuance costs are being amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the stated term of 8 years. The discount and debt issuance costs have an unamortized balance of US$2.4 million and US$7.8 million at 30 June 2015, respectively.

The indenture governing the senior notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of James Hardie International Group Limited, James Hardie Building Products Inc., James Hardie Technology Limited and their restricted subsidiaries to incur liens on assets, make certain restricted payments, engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions and merge or consolidate with or into other companies. These covenants are subject to certain exceptions and qualifications as described in the indenture. At 30 June 2015, the Company was in compliance with all of its requirements under the indenture related to the senior notes.

7. Asbestos

In February 2007, the Company’s shareholders approved the AFFA, an agreement pursuant to which the Company provides long-term funding to AICF.

Asbestos Adjustments

Asbestos-related assets and liabilities are denominated in Australian dollars. The reported values of these asbestos-related assets and liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in US dollars are subject to adjustment depending on the closing exchange rate between the two currencies at the balance sheet dates, the effect of which is included in Asbestos adjustments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The asbestos adjustments for the three months ended 30 June 2015 and 2014 are US$4.5 million and US$21.5 million, respectively.

1 | A portion of the deferred income tax asset was applied against the Company’s income tax payable. At 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, these amounts were US$23.2 million and US$19.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended 30 June 2015, there was a US$0.1 million unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange in respect of income tax payable.

2 | Other assets and liabilities include income tax of US$23.2 million and US$19.2 million at 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, respectively. The remaining balance includes the other assets and liabilities of AICF, including a provision for asbestos-related education and medical research contributions of US$1.4 million at 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015. Also included are trade receivables, prepayments, fixed assets, trade payables and accruals of AICF. These other assets and liabilities of AICF were a net liability of US$0.4 million and US$0.1 million at 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, respectively.

3 | Claims paid of US$28.6 million reflects A$36.8 million converted at the average exchange rate for the period based on the assumption that these transactions occurred evenly throughout the period.

AICF Funding

On 1 July 2015, the Company made a payment of A$81.1 million (US$62.8 million) to AICF, representing 35% of its free cash flow for fiscal year 2015. For the 1 July 2015 payment, free cash flow, as defined in the AFFA, was equivalent to the Company’s fiscal year 2015 operating cash flows of US$179.5 million. For the three months ended 30 June 2015, the Company did not provide financial or other support to AICF that it was not previously contractually required to provide.

AICF – NSW Government Secured Loan Facility

AICF may borrow up to an aggregate amount of A$320.0 million (US$245.6 million, based on the exchange rate at 30 June 2015). The AICF Loan Facility is available to be drawn for the payment of claims through 1 November 2030, at which point, all outstanding borrowings must be repaid. Borrowings made under the AICF Loan Facility are classified as current, as AICF intends to repay the debt within one year.

Interest accrues daily on amounts outstanding, is calculated based on a 365-day year and is payable monthly. AICF may, at its discretion, elect to accrue interest payable on amounts outstanding under the AICF Loan Facility on the date interest becomes due and payable.

At 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, AICF had an outstanding balance under the Facility of US$27.5 million and US$13.6 million, respectively.

8. Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivatives for risk management purposes and does not engage in speculative activity. A key risk management objective for the Company is to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Company’s external credit facilities and foreign currency risk primarily with respect to forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The determination of whether the Company enters into a derivative transaction to achieve these risk management objectives depends on a number of factors, including market related factors that impact the extent to which derivative instruments will achieve such risk management objectives of the Company.

The Company may from time to time enter into interest rate swap contracts to protect against upward movements in US Dollar LIBOR and the associated interest the Company pays on its external credit facilities. Interest rate swaps are recorded in the financial statements at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in Other income (expense).

The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. The forward contracts at 30 June 2015 were primarily related to the dividends announced in May 2015, and the AICF payment paid in July 2015. Changes in fair value are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in Other income (expense).

Interest Rate Swaps

For interest rate swap contracts, the Company has agreed to pay fixed interest rates while receiving a floating interest rate. These contracts have a fair value of US$2.3 million and US$3.1 million at 30 June 2015 and 31 March 2015, respectively, which is included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

At 30 June 2015, the weighted average fixed interest rate of these contracts is 2.0% and the weighted average remaining life is 4.2 years. For the three months ended 30 June 2015, the Company included in Other income (expense) an unrealized gain of US$0.8 million on interest rate swap contracts. Included in Interest expense was a realized loss on settlements of interest rate swap contracts of US$0.6 million for the three months ended 30 June 2015.

For the three months ended 30 June 2014, the Company included in Other income (expense) an unrealized loss of US$1.3 million, on interest rate swap contracts. Included in Interest expense was a realized loss on settlements of interest rate swap contracts of US$0.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2014.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

Changes in the fair value of forward contracts that are not designated as hedges are recorded in earnings within Other income (expense) at each measurement date. As discussed above, these derivatives are typically entered into as economic hedges of changes in currency exchange rates. Gains or losses related to the derivative are recorded in income, based on the Company’s accounting policy. In general, the earnings effects of the item that represent the economic risk exposure are recorded in the same caption as the derivative. The forward contracts not designated as a cash flow hedging arrangement had an unrealized loss of US$2.8 million in the three months ended 30 June 2015. This loss was partially offset by the $2.6 million gain on the revaluation of the dividends payable balance, for an ending loss in Other income (expense) of US$0.2 million.

The notional amount of interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forward contracts represents the basis upon which payments are calculated and are reported on a net basis when a legal and enforceable right of set-off exists. The following table sets forth the total outstanding notional amount and the fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments.

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Fair Value as of |
(Millions of US dollars) |  | Notional Amount |  |  | 30 June 2015 |  |  | 31 March 2015 |

Foreign currency forward contracts |  | $ | 279.5 |  |  | $ | 3.6 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 3.0 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 0.2 |
Interest rate swap contracts |  |  | 100.0 |  |  |  | 125.0 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 2.3 |  |  |  | - |  |  |  | 3.1 |
Total |  | $ | 379.5 |  |  | $ | 128.6 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 5.3 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 3.3 |

9. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities of the Company that are carried at fair value are classified in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date;

Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data used when there is minimal market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are assigned a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

At 30 June 2015, the Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, dividends payable, bilateral credit facilities, senior unsecured notes, interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts.

F-15

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Trade payables, Dividend payables and Bilateral credit facilities – The carrying amounts for these items approximates their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Senior unsecured notes - The Company’s senior unsecured notes have an estimated fair value of US$334.8 million at 30 June 2015 based on the trading price observed in the market at or near the balance sheet date and are categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Interest rate swaps - The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is calculated based on the fixed rate, notional principal, settlement date and present value of the future cash inflows and outflows based on the terms of the agreement and the future floating interest rates as determined by a future interest rate yield curve. The model used to value the interest rate swap contracts is based upon well recognized financial principles, and interest rate yield curves can be validated through readily observable data by external sources. Although readily observable data is used in the valuations, different valuation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value. Accordingly, the interest rate swap contracts are categorized as Level 2.

Foreign currency forward contracts - The Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are valued using models that maximize the use of market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at 30 June 2015 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values.

|  | Fair Value at |  |  | Fair Value Measurements Using Inputs Considered as |
(Millions of US dollars) |  | 30 June 2015 |  |  | Level 1 |  |  | Level 2 |  |  | Level 3 |
Interest rate swap contracts included in Other liabilities |  | $ | 2.3 |  |  | $ | - |  |  | $ | 2.3 |  |  | $ | - |

10. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and administrative actions related to the normal conduct of its business, including general liability claims, putative class action lawsuits and litigation concerning its products.

Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any pending legal proceeding, management believes that such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except as they relate to asbestos as described in these financial statements.

Environmental and Legal

The operations of the Company, like those of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to a number of laws and regulations on air and water quality, waste handling and disposal. The Company’s policy is to accrue for environmental costs when it is determined that it is probable that an obligation exists and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

11. Income Taxes

Income taxes payable represents taxes currently payable which are computed at statutory income tax rates applicable to taxable income derived in each jurisdiction in which the Company conducts business. During the three months ended 30 June 2015, the Company paid tax net of any refunds received of US$4.3 million in Ireland, the United States, Canada and New Zealand.

Deferred income taxes include European and Australian net operating loss carry-forwards. At 30 June 2015 the Company had European tax loss carry-forwards of approximately US$6.3 million and Australian tax loss carry-forwards of approximately US$11.7 million, that are available to offset future taxable income in the respective jurisdiction.

The European tax loss carry-forwards relate to losses incurred in prior years during the establishment of the European business. At 30 June 2015, the Company had a valuation allowance against a portion of the European tax loss carry-forwards in respect of which realization is not more likely than not. During the three months ended 30 June 2015, the Company reversed a valuation allowance of US$2.4 million for a portion of its European tax loss carry-forwards for which realization is now more likely than not.

The Australian tax loss carry-forwards primarily result from current and prior year tax deductions for contributions to AICF. The Performing Subsidiary is able to claim a tax deduction for its contributions to AICF over a five-year period commencing in the year the contribution is incurred. At 30 June 2015, the Company recognized a tax deduction of US$13.5 million (A$17.3 million) for the current year relating to total contributions to AICF of US$412.3 million (A$419.1 million) incurred in tax years 2011 through 2015.

Due to the size and nature of its business, the Company is subject to ongoing reviews by taxing jurisdictions on various tax matters. The Company accrues for tax contingencies based upon its best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid, which it updates over time as more information becomes available. Such amounts are included in taxes payable or other non-current liabilities, as appropriate. If the Company ultimately determines that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the Company reverses the liability and recognizes a tax benefit during the period in which the Company determines that the liability is no longer necessary. The Company records additional tax expense in the period in which it determines that the recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment it expects.

F-17

James Hardie Industries plc

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Company or its subsidiaries files income tax returns in various jurisdictions including Ireland, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and The Netherlands. The Company is no longer subject to US federal examinations by US Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for tax years prior to tax year 2012 and Australian federal examinations by the Australian Taxation Office (“ATO”) for tax years prior to tax year 2011. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by The Netherlands tax authority, for tax years prior to tax year 2010.

Taxing authorities from various jurisdictions in which the Company operates are in the process of reviewing and auditing the Company’s respective jurisdictional tax returns for various ranges of years. The Company accrues tax liabilities in connection with ongoing audits and reviews based on knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances, taking into account existing tax laws, its experience with previous audits and settlements, the status of current tax examinations and how the tax authorities view certain issues.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits and interest and penalties are as follows:

(Millions of US Dollars) |  | Unrecognized tax benefits |  |  | Interest and Penalties |
Balance at 31 March 2015 |  | $ | 4.9 |  |  | $ | 0.3 |
(Reductions) / additions for tax positions of the current year |  |  | (3.3) |  |  |  | 0.2 |
Balance at 30 June 2015 |  | $ | 1.6 |  |  | $ | 0.5 |

As of 30 June 2015, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits and the total amount of interest and penalties accrued or prepaid by the Company related to unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate is US$0.9 million and US$0.5 million, respectively. The remaining US$0.7 million of unrecognized tax benefits would not affect the effective tax rate if recognized.

The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the three months ended 30 June 2015, the total amount of interest and penalties recognized in tax expense was US$0.2 million. The liabilities associated with uncertain tax benefits are included in Other liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. These liabilities are offset by deferred tax assets included in Current assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of its assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. Management believes it is more likely than not that the full deferred tax asset will be realized.
