The change in accrued income taxes was attributable to the company’s tax liability position of $23,000,000 in 2014 versus the tax refund position of $5,000,000 in 2013. The change in other current and noncurrent liabilities in 2014 was primarily attributable to the payment of $22,714,000 for accrued interest on the notes assumed from TXI.
