Income Taxes</b> </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     As of September 30, 2010, the total balance of unrecognized tax benefits was $5.4 million compared with $5.2 million at December 31, 2009. The increase in the balance was primarily due to an increase in tax reserves related to tax audits in Germany, net of a Canadian settlement. The unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2010 include $5.4 million of uncertain tax positions that would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized, of which $2.6 million would be offset by a reduction of a corresponding deferred tax asset. The Company does not expect any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company’s accounting policy with respect to interest expense on underpayments of income tax and related penalties is to recognize such interest expense and penalties as part of the provision for income taxes. The Company’s income tax liabilities at September 30, 2010 include approximately $1.3 million of accrued interest and $0.3 million of penalties. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the tax years 2005 to 2007 are under examination by the Internal Revenue Service. As of the date of this report, the examination has not identified any material changes. A separate examination for the tax years 2008 and 2009 was initiated by the Internal Revenue Service during the quarter ending September 30, 2010, which examination was pending as of the date of this report. The statutes of limitations for the U.S. state tax returns are open beginning with the 2006 tax year, except for four states for which the statutes have been extended, beginning with the 2003 tax year for one state, the 2004 tax year for one state and the 2005 tax year for two states. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The Company is subject to income tax in approximately 30 jurisdictions outside the U.S. The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction. The Company’s significant operations outside the U.S. are located in China, the United Kingdom and Germany. In Germany, six subsidiaries are under audit for the tax years beginning with the 2003 tax year, two subsidiaries beginning with the 2004 tax year, six subsidiaries beginning with the 2005 tax year and one subsidiary beginning with the 2006 tax year. As of the date of this report, the examinations have not identified any material changes. In China and the United Kingdom, tax years prior to 2006 are closed. In addition, audits are being conducted in other various countries. To date, no material adjustments have been proposed as a result of these audits. </div> <div align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">     The provision for income taxes was $38.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to $14.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The provision in the nine-month period of 2009 reflected the reversal of deferred tax liabilities totaling $11.6 million associated with a portion of the net goodwill and all of the trade name impairment charges recorded in the nine-month period of 2009. Deferred tax liabilities were recorded when the trade name was established and as tax deductible goodwill was amortized, a corresponding deferred tax liability was established. A portion of the goodwill for which the impairment charge was taken was not amortizable for tax purposes and, accordingly, deferred tax liabilities were not recorded when the goodwill was established and a corresponding tax benefit did not arise upon the impairment of that portion of goodwill. In addition, a $3.6 million credit for the reversal of an income tax reserve and the related interest associated with the completion of a foreign tax examination was recorded in the nine-month period of 2009. These benefits were partially offset by an $8.6 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets related to net operating losses recorded in connection with the acquisition of CompAir based on revised financial projections. </div> </div>  <!-- Begin Block Tagged Note false false false us-types:textBlockItemType textblock Description containing the entire income tax disclosure.
