appeal with the IRS for certain issues related to this audit and no resolution of the issues has been achieved at this
time, but we believe we have adequately provided for these items and any adverse results would have an
immaterial impact on our unrecognized tax benefit balance within the next 12 months. The IRS is currently in
examination of our 2007, 2008, and 2009 tax years. We do not expect the examination to be completed within
the next 12 months. Therefore, we do not anticipate any significant impact to our unrecognized tax benefit balance
in 2012, related to our 2007, 2008, and 2009 tax years.
Our 2010 and 2011 tax years remain subject to examination by the IRS for U.S. federal tax purposes, and our
2003 through 2011 tax years remain subject to examination by the appropriate governmental agencies for Irish tax
purposes. There are various other ongoing audits in various other jurisdictions that are not material to our financial
statements.
Note 16. Information about Geographic Areas
Our chief operating decision-makers (i.e., chief executive officer and his direct reports) review financial
information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues by
geographic region for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. There are no
segment managers who are held accountable by our chief operating decision-makers, or anyone else, for
operations, operating results, and planning for levels or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly,
we consider ourselves to be in a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.
Revenues by geography are based on the billing addresses of our customers. The following tables set forth
revenues and long-lived assets by geographic area (in millions):
