(1) | Fiscal 2011 includes a retrospective adjustment of $4.2 million as described above in Note 6.
The Company has state net operating loss carryforwards with a tax effect of $3.0 million. A valuation allowance of $1.8 million has been established for these net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of the use of the tax benefits in future periods. The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Brazil and various U.S. state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2009 or state and local income tax examinations for years prior to fiscal 2005. During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company entered into an administrative appeals agreement with the IRS to conclude the federal audit for fiscal years 2004 through 2007. The federal statute of limitations has expired for fiscal year 2008. The Company is not currently under U.S. federal examination for years subsequent to fiscal year 2008, and there is very limited audit activity of the Company's income tax returns in U.S. state jurisdictions or Brazil. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is $8.9 million, $13.8 million and $16.1 million. Included in this total liability at fiscal 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are $5.1 million, $7.6 million and $6.5 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would decrease the effective tax rate for continuing operations. Also included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits for fiscal 2012 are $2.0 million of tax benefits, and for each of fiscal 2011 and 2010 are $3.1 million of tax benefits that, if recognized, would result in adjustments to deferred taxes. The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits at fiscal 2010 included $4.9 million related to discontinued operations, which included $1.8 million for interest and penalties. In the second quarter of fiscal 2011, this reserve was decreased primarily due to the favorable resolution of an outstanding tax exposure related to a foreign operation discontinued in 1998. The resolution of this item eliminated the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $4.9 million related to discontinued operations. Penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are recorded in income tax expense, which is consistent with past practices. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits noted above, the Company reduced the accrual for penalties and interest by $1.4 million during fiscal 2012, resulting in a reserve for interest and penalties at the end of fiscal 2012 of $1.8 million. During fiscal 2011, the Company reduced the accrual for penalties and interest by $0.2 million, resulting in a reserve for interest and penalties at the end of fiscal 2011 of $3.2 million. During fiscal 2010, the Company reduced the accrual for penalties and interest by $0.6 million, resulting in a reserve for interest and penalties at the end of fiscal 2010 of $3.4 million. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the total amounts of gross unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
(In thousands) |  | 2012 |  |  | 2011 |  |  | 2010 |
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at beginning of year |  | $ | 10,676 |  |  | $ | 12,666 |  |  | $ | 11,559 |
Gross increases in tax positions for prior years |  |  | 136 |  |  |  | 1,084 |  |  |  | 270 |
Gross decreases in tax positions for prior years |  |  | (462 | ) |  |  | (3,197 | ) |  |  | (235 | )
Gross increases based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | 623 |  |  |  | 663 |  |  |  | 1,091 |
Gross decreases based on tax positions related to the current year |  |  | (78 | ) |  |  | (92 | ) |  |  | (19 | )
Settlements |  |  | (1,200 | ) |  |  | (1,382 | ) |  |  | — |
Statute of limitations expiration |  |  | (2,570 | ) |  |  | (127 | ) |  |  | — |
Unrecognized tax benefits acquired in connection with Glassec |  |  | — |  |  |  | 1,061 |  |  |  | — |
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at end of year |  | $ | 7,125 |  |  | $ | 10,676 |  |  | $ | 12,666 |
The total liability for unrecognized tax benefits is expected to decrease by approximately $1.8 million during fiscal 2013 due to audit settlements and lapsing of statutes.
