As of May 31, 2012 and August 31, 2011, the Company had $146 thousand and $330 thousand of unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in prior periods, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

 

Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were immaterial. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, various states and certain foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2005 through 2011 remain open in most jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in U.S. federal, state or foreign jurisdictions.
