During 2013, the Company recognized $7.1 million gain in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the reversal of the cumulative translation adjustment previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income upon the liquidation of two previously inactive Chinese entities. The prior cumulative translation adjustment primarily resulted from the difference between local functional currency and the Company's reporting currency.

In 2013, approximately $1.2 million of such tax reserve was released due to expiration of statute of limitations. In 2014, remaining amount of approximately $1.0 million of such tax reserve was released due to expiration of statute of limitations.
