As of both May 31, 2013 and August 31, 2012, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken in prior periods of $145 thousand, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. The impact would be offset by an adjustment to the valuation allowance.

Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were immaterial. The Company files income tax returns in the United States, various U.S. states and certain foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2005 through 2012 remain open in most jurisdictions. The Company is not currently under examination by income tax authorities in U.S. federal and state or foreign jurisdictions.
