NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES
 
In determining its quarterly provision for income taxes, the Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The effective tax rate on earnings from continuing operations was 30.5% and 30.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The lower rate for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was primarily due to tax benefits associated with lower foreign taxes. The current and prior year periods also reflect benefits from tax settlements.
 
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, are potential benefits of $65 and $68, respectively, which, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate on earnings.
 
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the total balance of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $5 and $8, respectively. Interest and penalties included in income tax expense were net benefits of $1 and $2 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. The federal statute of limitations has expired for all tax years through 2007. Various income tax returns in state and foreign jurisdictions are currently in the process of examination.
