Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Background and Basis of Presentation |
Nature of Operations
James Hardie Industries SE manufactures and sells fibre cement building products for interior and exterior building construction applications primarily in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and Europe.
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements represent the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of James Hardie Industries SE and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a special purpose entity, collectively referred to as either the Company or James Hardie and JHI SE, together with its subsidiaries as of the time relevant to the applicable reference, the James Hardie Group, unless the context indicates otherwise. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2012, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 2 July 2012.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they contain all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring) which, in the opinion of the Companys management, are necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at 30 June 2012, and the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended 30 June 2012 and 2011 and consolidated cash flows for the three months ended 30 June 2012 and 2011.
The Company has recorded on its balance sheet certain assets and liabilities, including asbestos-related assets and liabilities under the terms of the Amended and Restated Final Funding Agreement (AFFA), that are denominated in Australian dollars and subject to translation into US dollars at each reporting date. Unless otherwise noted, the exchange rates used to convert Australian denominated amounts into US dollars in the condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:
(US$1 = A$) |

The results of operations for the three months ended 30 June 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at 31 March 2012 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for complete financial statements in this interim financial report.
2. | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, which requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements, eliminating the option to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. Under either choice, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income are required to be presented on the face of the financial
F-6

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
statements where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not result in a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, which defers the implementation of only those changes in ASU No. 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income. All other requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 are not affected by this update, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-12 are effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU No. 2011-05, being fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not result in a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. | Earnings Per Share |
The Company discloses basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS). Basic EPS is calculated using net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares calculated using the Treasury Method that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares, such as options, had been issued.
Accordingly, basic and dilutive common shares outstanding used in determining net income per share are as follows:
Three Months Ended 30 June |
||||||||
(Millions of shares) |
2012 | 2011 | ||||||

Potential common shares of 7.1 million and 13.3 million for the three months ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares outstanding because the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Unless they are anti-dilutive, restricted stock units (RSUs) which vest solely based on continued employment are considered to be outstanding as of their issuance date for purposes of computing diluted EPS and are included in the calculation of diluted EPS using the Treasury Method. Once these RSUs vest, they are included in the basic EPS calculation on a weighted-average basis.
F-7
James Hardie Industries SE
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
RSUs which vest based on performance or market conditions are considered contingent shares. At each reporting date prior to the end of the contingency period, the Company determines the number of contingently issuable shares to include in the diluted EPS, as the number of shares that would be issuable under the terms of the RSU arrangement, if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Once these RSUs vest, they are included in the basic EPS calculation on a weighted-average basis.
4. | Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Included in restricted cash and cash equivalents is US$5.0 million and US$5.2 million related to an insurance policy at 30 June 2012 and 31 March 2012, respectively, which restricts the cash from use for general corporate purposes.

James Hardie Industries SE
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
At 30 June 2012, no amounts were drawn under the combined facilities. The weighted average interest rate on the Companys total outstanding debt was nil at 30 June 2012 and 31 March 2012, and the weighted average term of all debt facilities is 0.7 years at 30 June 2012. The weighted average fixed interest rate on the Companys interest rate swap contracts is set forth in Note 8.
For all facilities, the interest rate is calculated two business days prior to the commencement of each draw-down period based on the US$ London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus the margins of individual lenders and is payable at the end of each draw-down period.
At 30 June 2012, the Company was in compliance with all restrictive debt covenants contained in its credit facility agreements. Under the most restrictive of these covenants, the Company (i) is required to maintain certain ratios of indebtedness to equity which do not exceed certain maximums, excluding assets, liabilities and other balance sheet items of the Asbestos Injuries Compensation Fund (AICF), Amaba, Amaca, ABN 60 and Marlew Mining Pty Limited, (ii) must maintain a minimum level of net worth, excluding assets, liabilities and other balance sheet items of AICF; for these purposes net worth means the sum of the par value (or value stated in the books of the James Hardie Group) of the capital stock (but excluding treasury stock and capital stock subscribed or unissued) of the James Hardie Group, the paid in capital and retained earnings of the James Hardie Group and the aggregate amount of provisions made by the James Hardie Group for asbestos related liabilities, in each case, as such amounts would be shown in the consolidated balance sheet of the James Hardie Group if Amaba, Amaca, ABN 60 and Marlew Mining Pty Limited were not consolidated with the James Hardie Group, (iii) must meet or exceed a minimum ratio of earnings before interest and taxes to net interest charges, excluding all income, expense and other profit and loss statement impacts of AICF, Amaba, Amaca, ABN 60 and Marlew Mining Pty Limited, and (iv) must ensure that no more than 35% of Free Cash Flow (as defined in the AFFA), in any given financial year (Annual Cash Flow Cap) is contributed to AICF on the payment dates under the AFFA in the next following financial year. The Annual Cash Flow Cap does not apply to payments of interest, if any, to AICF and is consistent with contractual obligations of the Performing Subsidiary and the Company under the AFFA.
7. | Asbestos |
In February 2007, the shareholders approved a proposal pursuant to which the Company provides long-term funding to AICF, a special purpose fund that provides compensation for Australian-related personal injuries for which certain former subsidiary companies of James Hardie in Australia (being Amaca Pty Ltd (Amaca), Amaba Pty Ltd (Amaba) and ABN 60 Pty Limited (ABN 60) (collectively, the Former James Hardie Companies)) are found liable. The Company owns 100% of James Hardie 117 Pty Ltd (the Performing Subsidiary) that funds AICF subject to the provisions of the AFFA. The Company appoints three AICF directors and the NSW Government appoints two AICF directors.
Under the terms of the AFFA, the Performing Subsidiary has an obligation to make payments to AICF on an annual basis. The amounts of these annual payments are dependent on several factors, including the Companys free cash flow (as defined in the AFFA), actuarial estimations, actual claims paid, operating expenses of AICF and the Annual Cash Flow Cap. JHI SE guarantees the Performing Subsidiarys obligation. As a result, the Company considers itself to be the primary beneficiary of AICF.
Although the Company has no legal ownership in AICF, for financial reporting purposes, the Companys interest in AICF is considered variable and the Company consolidates AICF due to the Companys pecuniary and contractual interests in AICF as a result of the funding arrangements outlined in the AFFA.
F-9
James Hardie Industries SE
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended 30 June 2012, the Company did not provide financial or other support to AICF that it was not previously contractually required to provide. Future funding of AICF by the Company continues to be linked under the terms of the AFFA to the Companys long-term financial success, specifically the Companys ability to generate net operating cash flow.
Asbestos Adjustments
The asbestos adjustments included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income include favourable and unfavourable foreign currency movements of US$18.9 million and US$38.2 million for the three months ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Adjustments in insurance receivables due to changes in the Companys assessment of recoverability are reflected as asbestos adjustments on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income during the period in which the adjustments occur. For the three months ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, the Company recognised US$6.3 million and nil, respectively, of favourable asbestos adjustments due to insurance receivables that were previously deemed uncollectible.
Asbestos-Related Assets and Liabilities
The Company has included on its consolidated balance sheets certain asbestos-related assets and liabilities under the terms of the AFFA. These amounts are detailed in the table below, and the net total of these asbestos-related assets and liabilities is referred to by the Company as the Net AFFA Liability.

Asbestos Liability
The amount of the asbestos liability reflects the terms of the AFFA, which has been calculated by reference to (but is not exclusively based upon) the most recent actuarial estimate of the projected future asbestos-related cash flows prepared by KPMG Actuarial. The asbestos liability also includes an allowance for the future claims-handling costs of AICF. The Company receives an updated actuarial estimate as of 31 March each year. The most recent actuarial assessment was performed as of 31 March 2012.
The changes in the asbestos liability for the three months ended 30 June 2012 are detailed in the table below:

Income Taxes Payable
A portion of the deferred income tax asset is applied against the Companys income tax payable. At 30 June 2012 and 31 March 2012, this amount was US$5.7 million and US$23.1 million, respectively. During the three months ended 30 June 2012, there was a US$0.7 million unfavourable effect of foreign currency exchange.
Other Net Liabilities
Other net liabilities include a provision for asbestos-related education and medical research contributions of US$2.0 million and US$2.3 million at 30 June 2012 and 31 March 2012, respectively.
Restricted Cash and Short-term Investments of AICF
Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of AICF are reflected as restricted assets as these assets are restricted for use in the settlement of asbestos claims and payment of the operating costs of AICF.
During the three months ended 30 June 2012, AICF invested US$106.5 million (A$105.0 million) of its excess cash in time deposits. These time deposits bear a fixed interest rate of 5.1% and have a maturity of six months. These time deposits are reflected within restricted short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet as of 30 June 2012 and have been classified as available-for-sale.
At 30 June 2012, the Company revalued AICFs short-term investments available-for-sale resulting in a positive mark-to-market fair value adjustment of US$0.3 million. This appreciation in the fair value of investments are recorded in Comprehensive Income.

These 60 additional claims that were closed in prior years have been excluded for purposes of determining the average settlement amount per case closed in both US and Australian dollars, as reflected in the table above, for the three months ended 30 June 2012. As these 60 claims were closed in prior years, the actual number of closed claims during the three months ended 30 June 2012 was 138 claims. |
Under the terms of the AFFA, the Company has rights of access to actuarial information produced for AICF by the actuary appointed by AICF (the Approved Actuary). The Companys disclosures with respect to claims statistics are subject to it obtaining such information from the Approved Actuary. The AFFA does not provide the Company an express right to audit or otherwise require independent verification of such information or the methodologies to be adopted by the Approved Actuary. As such, the Company relies on the accuracy and completeness of the information and analysis of the Approved Actuary when making disclosures with respect to claims statistics.
8. | Fair Value Measurements |
Assets and liabilities of the Company that are carried at fair value are classified in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date; | |
Level 2 | Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data for the asset or liability at the measurement date; | |
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data used when there is minimal market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. |
Fair value measurements of assets and liabilities are assigned a level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
F-15
James Hardie Industries SE
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, restricted short-term investments, trade receivables, trade payables, debt and interest rate swap contracts.
Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables and Trade payables These items are recorded in the financial statements at historical cost. The historical cost basis for these amounts is estimated to approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Restricted short-term investments Restricted short-term investments are held and managed by AICF and are recorded in the financial statements at fair value. The fair value of restricted short-term investments is based on inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data such as pricing for similar securities, recently executed transactions, cash flow models with yield curves and benchmark securities. Accordingly, restricted short-term investments are categorised as Level 2. Changes in fair value are recorded as other comprehensive income and included as a component in shareholders equity.
Debt Debt is generally recorded in the financial statements at historical cost. The carrying value of debt provided under the Companys credit facilities approximates fair value since the interest rates charged under these credit facilities are tied directly to market rates and fluctuate as market rates change.
Interest Rate Swaps The Company may from time to time enter into interest rate swap contracts to protect against upward movements in US$ LIBOR and the associated interest the Company pays on its external credit facilities. Interest rate swaps are recorded in the financial statements at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income in Other Income (Expense). At 30 June 2012, the Company had interest rate swap contracts with a total notional principal of US$100.0 million. For all of these interest rate swap contracts, the Company has agreed to pay fixed interest rates while receiving a floating interest rate. The purpose of holding these interest rate swap contracts is to protect against upward movements in US$ LIBOR rate and the associated interest the Company pays on its external credit facilities.
The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is calculated based on the fixed rate, notional principal, settlement date and present value of the future cash inflows and outflows based on the terms of the agreement and the future floating interest rates as determined by a future interest rate yield curve. The model used to value the interest rate swap contracts is based upon well recognised financial principles, and interest rate yield curves can be validated through readily observable data by external sources. Although readily observable data is used in the valuations, different valuation methodologies could have an effect on the estimated fair value. Accordingly, the interest rate swap contracts are categorised as Level 2.
At 30 June 2012 the weighted average fixed interest rate of these contracts is 2.5% and the weighted average remaining life is 1.2 years. These contracts have a fair value of US$2.7 million, which is included in Accounts Payable. For the three months ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, the Company included in Other Income (Expense) an unrealised gain of US$0.4 million and an unrealised loss of US$1.5 million, respectively, on interest rate swap contracts. Included in interest expense is a realised loss on settlements of interest rate swap contracts of US$0.5 million and US$0.8 million for the three months ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Companys financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis at 30 June 2012 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values.

9. | Commitments and Contingencies |
The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings and administrative actions related to the normal conduct of its business, including putative class action lawsuits and litigation concerning its products. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of any pending legal proceeding, management believes that such proceedings and actions should not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except as they relate to asbestos, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) proceedings, the matters described in the Environmental and Legal section below and income taxes as described in these financial statements.
ASIC Proceedings
In February 2007, ASIC commenced civil proceedings in the Supreme Court of New South Wales against the Company, ABN 60 and ten then-present or former officers and directors of the James Hardie Group. While the subject matter of the allegations varied between individual defendants, the allegations against the Company were confined to alleged contraventions of provisions of the Australian Corporations Act/Law relating to continuous disclosure and engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct in respect of a security. The Company defended each of the allegations made by ASIC and the orders sought against it in the proceedings, as did the former directors and officers of the Company.
On 23 April 2009, the Supreme Court issued judgment against the Company and the ten former officers and directors of the Company.
Eight of the ten defendants lodged appeals against the Supreme Courts judgments, and ASIC responded by lodging cross appeals against the appellants. The appeals lodged by the former directors and officers were heard in April 2010 and the appeal lodged by the Company was heard in May 2010.
On 30 September 2010, the Company entered into agreements with third parties and subsequently received payment of US$10.3 million relating to the costs of the ASIC proceedings for certain former officers. These recoveries were reflected as a reduction to selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended 31 March 2011. The Company notes that other recoveries may be available resulting from repayments by third parties, including former directors and officers, in accordance with the terms of their indemnities.
F-17
James Hardie Industries SE
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
On 17 December 2010, the New South Wales Court of Appeal dismissed the Companys appeal against the Supreme Courts judgment and ASICs cross appeal and ordered that the Company pay 90% of the costs incurred by ASIC in respect of the Companys appeal. The Court of Appeal also allowed the appeals brought by the non-executive directors, but dismissed ASICs related cross-appeals, and ordered ASIC to pay the non-executive directors costs of the proceedings and the appeals. The Court of Appeal allowed the appeals and cross appeals in respect of certain former officers in part and reserved certain matters for further submissions. On 6 May 2011, the Court of Appeal rendered judgment in the exoneration, penalty and cost matter for certain former officers in which it varied certain orders made at first instance and ordered that there be no order as to the costs of the appeals of the certain former officers and ASICs related cross-appeals.
The amount of the costs that the Company may be required to pay to ASIC following the Court of Appeal judgments is contingent on a number of factors. These include, without limitation, whether such costs (including the costs orders in ASICs favour against the Company in the first instance hearing, which orders were not disturbed by the Court of Appeal) are reasonable having regard to the issues pursued in the case by ASIC against the Company, the number of legal practitioners involved in such legal work and their applicable fee rates. In addition, the amount of costs is contingent on the associated legal work undertaken specifically in respect of those issues (since the Company is not liable for legal costs of a previous claim and related order that was withdrawn by ASIC in September 2008, the overlapping claims against other parties in the first instance or appeal proceedings or the successful interlocutory appeal by the Company against ASIC during the course of the first instance hearing).
ASIC has not notified the Company of the amount of costs that it has incurred in connection with the ASIC proceedings and any costs that may be asserted by ASIC in the future will be subject to third party review and may not represent the amount of costs the Company will ultimately be liable to pay. Accordingly, in light of the inherent uncertainty surrounding the amount of such costs, together with the unusual circumstances surrounding the ASIC proceedings, the Company is unable to estimate the additional loss or range of loss relating to the quantum of costs incurred by ASIC at this time. Therefore, the Company has not recorded any provision for these costs at 30 June 2012.
ASIC subsequently filed applications for special leave to the High Court appealing from the Court of Appeal judgment in favour of the former directors and former officers appeals. Two former officers also filed special leave applications to the High Court. The Company did not file an application for special leave to the High Court. The High Court granted ASICs application for special leave on 13 May 2011. The High Court also granted the special leave applications for one of the former officers, and the other former officer withdrew his application. Appeals brought by ASIC and the Companys former non-executive directors and former officer were heard by the High Court over three days commencing 25 October 2011.
On 3 May 2012, the High Court upheld ASICs appeal and overturned the Court of Appeals decision in favour of the former non-executive directors and dismissed the former officers appeal against the Court of Appeals decision. The High Court did not render judgment on claims to be excused from liability, penalty and disqualification and on certain questions concerning costs and, instead, remitted these matters back to the Court of Appeal for further consideration. The Court of Appeal will hear submissions on these issues at a proceeding to be held in late August 2012.
Due to the High Courts decision to remit certain matters back to the Court of Appeal, further or different orders may be made with respect to the seven former non-executive directors and the former

executive on issues such as liability, any banning orders, civil penalties payable, and as to the costs of the appeals and the first instance proceedings that the Company may become liable for under indemnities.
As with the first instance, Court of Appeal and High Court proceedings, the Company may pay a proportion of the costs of the continued proceedings involving the seven former non-executive directors and the former executive, with the remaining costs being met by third parties. We note that other recoveries may be available, including as a result of repayments by former directors and officers in accordance with the terms of their indemnities. As a result, it is not presently possible for the Company to estimate the amount of loss or range of loss, including costs that it might become liable to pay as a consequence of the continued proceedings involving the seven former non-executive directors and the former executive.
Losses and expenses arising from the ASIC proceedings could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows. It is the Companys policy to expense legal costs as incurred.
Environmental and Legal
The operations of the Company, like those of other companies engaged in similar businesses, are subject to a number of laws and regulations on air and water quality, waste handling and disposal. The Companys policy is to accrue for environmental costs when it is determined that it is probable that an obligation exists and the amount can be reasonably estimated.
The Company is involved from time to time as a defendant in certain legal proceedings and administrative actions related to general liability claims. The Company recognises a liability for unasserted and asserted claims in the period in which the loss becomes probable and estimable. The amount of loss is dependent on a number of factors including, without limitation, the specific facts and circumstances unique to each claim brought against the Company, the existence of any co-defendants involved in defending the claim, the solvency of such co-defendants (including the ability of such co-defendants to remain solvent until the related claim is ultimately resolved), the amount of loss estimated to be allocable to the Company in instances that involve co-defendants in defending the claim and whether the Company has access to third-party recoveries to cover a portion of the costs incurred in defending and settling such actions. Accordingly, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate a loss or range of loss in relation to some asserted claims brought against the Company at this time. Potential losses arising from both unasserted claims and asserted claims could in the future have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Historically, the Company had and continues to have access to third-party recoveries to cover a portion of the costs incurred in defending and settling such actions, subject to contractual limitations on amounts available for recovery from third parties. The Company records an asset related to estimated third-party recoveries that are available for reasonably estimable asserted claims. Although the Company has historically had access to recoveries from third-parties, the Company could in the future lose access to some or all third-party recoveries due to expiration of contractual rights or insolvency of such third-parties. In such circumstance, losses that arise in relation to claims that would otherwise have been defrayed by third-party recoveries could in the future have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The Company also receives general liability claims for which third-party recoveries are not available. In these instances, the Company recognises a loss for claims that are reasonably estimable.
F-19
James Hardie Industries SE
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For all claims, the Company adjusts its estimates based on new information as it becomes available and increases or decreases the related loss reserves and asset recoveries with a corresponding adjustment to selling, general and administrative expenses until each claim is ultimately settled.
The Company has made a provision for asserted and unasserted general liability claims that are reasonably estimable within Other Current and Other Non-current Liabilities, with a corresponding receivable for third-party recoveries being recognised within Accounts and Other Receivables at 30 June 2012.
10. | Income Taxes |
Due to the size and nature of its business, the Company is subject to ongoing reviews by taxing jurisdictions on various tax matters. The Company accrues for tax contingencies based upon its best estimate of the taxes ultimately expected to be paid, which it updates over time as more information becomes available. Such amounts are included in taxes payable or other non-current liabilities, as appropriate. If the Company ultimately determines that payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the Company reverses the liability and recognises a tax benefit during the period in which the Company determines that the liability is no longer necessary. The Company records additional tax expense in the period in which it determines that the recorded tax liability is less than the ultimate assessment it expects.
The Company or its subsidiaries files income tax returns in various jurisdictions including Ireland, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines and The Netherlands. The Company is no longer subject to US federal examinations by US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for tax years prior to tax year 2009. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by The Netherlands tax authority, for tax years prior to tax year 2007. The Company is no longer subject to Australian federal examinations by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for tax years prior to tax year 2008.
Taxing authorities from various jurisdictions in which the Company operates are in the process of auditing the Companys respective jurisdictional income tax returns for various ranges of years. None of the audits have progressed sufficiently to predict their ultimate outcome. The Company accrues income tax liabilities in connection with ongoing audits and reviews based on knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances, taking into account existing tax laws, its experience with previous audits and settlements, the status of current tax examinations and how the tax authorities view certain issues.

Unrecognised Tax Benefits

Balance at 30 June 2012 |
$ | 2.6 | $ | 0.8 | ||||
|
|
|
|
As of 30 June 2012, the total amount of unrecognised tax benefits and the total amount of interest and penalties accrued or prepaid by the Company related to unrecognised tax benefits that, if recognised, would affect the effective tax rate is US$2.6 million and US$0.8 million, respectively.
The Company recognises penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognised tax benefits in income tax expense. During the three months ended 30 June 2012, the total amount of interest and penalties recognised in income tax expense was US$0.1 million. The liabilities associated with uncertain tax benefits are included in other non-current liabilities on the Companys consolidated balance sheet.
A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited or ultimately resolved. It is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome or the timing of resolution for uncertain tax positions. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognised tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. These changes could result from the settlement of ongoing litigation, the completion of ongoing examinations, the expiration of the statute of limitations, or other circumstances. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change cannot be made.
11. | Stock-Based Compensation |
Compensation expense arising from equity-based award grants, as estimated using pricing models, was US$1.6 million and US$1.5 million for the three months ended 30 June 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of 30 June 2012, the unrecorded future stock-based compensation expense related to outstanding equity awards was US$8.9 million after estimated forfeitures and will be recognised over an estimated weighted average amortisation period of 2.6 years.
Restricted Stock performance vesting
The Company granted 266,627 restricted stock units with a performance vesting condition under the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) to senior executives and managers of the Company on 7 June 2012. The vesting of the restricted stock units is deferred for two years and the amount of restricted stock units that will vest at that time is dependent on the scorecard rating of each of the award recipients. The scorecard reflects a number of key qualitative and quantitative performance objectives and the outcomes the Board expects to see achieved at the end of the performance period.
When the scorecard is applied at the vesting date, the award recipients may receive all, some, or none of their awards. The scorecard can only be applied by the Board to exercise discretion at the percentage of restricted stock units that will vest. The scorecard may not be applied to enhance the maximum award that was originally granted to the award recipient.
F-21
James Hardie Industries SE
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The fair value of each restricted stock unit (performance vesting) is adjusted for changes in JHI SEs common stock price at each balance sheet date until the scorecard is applied at the vesting date.
On 7 June 2012, 592,442 restricted stock units (performance vesting) that were granted on 7 June 2010 became fully vested and the underlying common stock was issued.
Scorecard LTI Cash Settled Units
On 21 June 2012, 501,556 Scorecard LTI units that were previously granted on 21 June 2009 became fully vested. The cash incentive provided to award recipients was based on JHI SEs common stock on the vesting date.
12. | Capital Management and Dividends |
On 21 May 2012, the company announced a new share buyback program to acquire up to 5% of its issued capital during the following twelve months. Administrative arrangements of the buyback have been completed and purchases may commence in the future depending on market conditions and pricing.
On 23 July 2012, the Company paid an ordinary dividend to shareholders of US38.0 cents per security. The total amount of the dividend was US$166.4 million.
13. | Operating Segment Information and Concentrations of Risk |
The Company has reported its operating segment information in the format that the operating segment information is available to and evaluated by senior management. USA and Europe Fibre Cement manufactures fibre cement interior linings, exterior siding products and related accessories in the United States; these products are sold in the United States, Canada and Europe. Asia Pacific Fibre Cement includes all fibre cement manufactured in Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines and sold in Australia, New Zealand, Asia, the Middle East (Israel, Kuwait, Qatar and United Arab Emirates), and various Pacific Islands.
