different tax rates applicable in different tax jurisdiction in which the Company operates.
U.S. GAAP also provides guidance regarding recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions
taken by an enterprise. If an entity is unable to conclude that it is not more likely than not that the position it took
will be upheld upon examination by the related tax authorities, all or a portion of the benefit related to such tax
position may not be recognized. The Company has not taken any tax position for which it does not believe that it is
more likely than not that the full amount of the benefit taken will be sustained upon review, based on technical
merits of the position taken. The tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities are 2006 to 2011.

assets or liabilities.
Level 2—applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are
observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent
transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable
or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3—applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation
methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

(a) Fair value of financial instruments and fair value measurements—Under U.S. GAAP, an entity is
required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value. U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent,
objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s
categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to
the fair value measurement. In
