The Company's liabilities for uncertain tax positions totaled $27.7 million and $42.2 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, of which $2.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively, is included in other current liabilities.

From the date of acquisition through September 30, 2016, the Company has recorded $4.1 million of interest and penalties pertaining to this issue, of which $2.6 million was reversed during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 in relation to the settlement of the exposure. The Company will continue to accrue approximately $0.7 million annually until the issues are resolved. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits arising from uncertain tax positions as a component of the current provision for income taxes.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the Company recognized a benefit of $3.1 million and an immaterial amount, respectively, for the reversal of such interest and penalties. The Company has approximately $1.7 million and $4.0 million, accrued for the payment of such interest and penalties at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, which is included in both other current liabilities and liability for uncertain tax positions in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
