Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Nature of Operations
James Hardie Industries plc manufactures and sells fiber 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements represent the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of James Hardie Industries plc and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and a special purpose entity, collectively referred to as either the Company, or James Hardie or JHI plc, 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 2014, which was filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on 26 June 2014.
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 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company at 30 June 2014 and 31 March 2014, the Condensed Consolidated Results of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months ended 30 June 2014 and 2013 and Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows for the three months ended 30 June 2014 and 2013.
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 dollar denominated amounts into US dollars in the condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows:
31 March | 30 June | |||||||||||
(US$1 = A$) |

n/a | 1.0720 | 1.0074 |
The results of operations for the three months ended 30 June 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The balance sheet at 31 March 2014 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.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications do not impact shareholders deficit.

Immaterial Change in Statement of Cash Flows Line Items
In connection with the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended 30 June 2014, the Company determined that the amounts previously reported in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended 30 June 2013, reflected an error in the amount of unfavorable effect of exchange rate changes allocated to Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities. These amounts overstated cash flows provided by operating activities by approximately $10.6 million for the three months ended 30 June 2013 with an equal understatement of Effects of exchange rate changes on cash for the three months ended 30 June 2013, as they included amounts that were incorrectly allocated as of the end of the reporting period. This error had no effect on our Consolidated Balance Sheets or Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as of and for the three months ended 30 June 2013, and further, did not affect the 30 September 2013 or 31 December 2013 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or the 31 March 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements.
In accordance with the relevant guidance, management evaluated the materiality of the error from a qualitative and quantitative perspective. Based on such evaluation, the Company concluded that correcting the error would not have had a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended 30 June 2013 or affect the trend of financial results. The amounts presented within this quarterly report in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended 30 June 2013 have been adjusted, as set forth in the following table:

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2014-09, which provides guidance requiring companies to recognize revenue depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the payment to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfil a contract. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, and early adoption is not permitted. Companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU. The Company is still evaluating the new standard and has not yet determined the potential effects on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, which provides explicit guidance on whether to treat a performance target that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition

that affects vesting, or as a nonvesting condition that affects the grant-date fair value of an award. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-12 are effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning after 15 December 2015. The Company is still evaluating the new standard and has not yet determined the potential effects on its consolidated financial statements.
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 stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), 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) |
2014 | 2013 | ||||||
Basic common shares outstanding |

Net income per share basic |
$ | 0.06 | $ | 0.32 | ||||
Net income per share diluted |
$ | 0.06 | $ | 0.32 |
Potential common shares of 1.3 million and 2.9 million for the three months ended 30 June 2014 and 2013, 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, 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.
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 RSUs 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.

James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
At 30 June 2014, no amounts were drawn under the combined facilities. The weighted average interest rate on the Companys total outstanding debt was nil at 30 June 2014 and 31 March 2014, and the weighted average term of all debt facilities is 3.0 years at 30 June 2014. 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 Dollar 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 2014, 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) must not exceed a maximum of net debt to earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, excluding all income, expense and other profit and loss statement impacts of Asbestos injuries Compensation Fund (AICF), Amaba, Amaca, ABN 60 and Marlew Mining Pty Limited (Former James Hardie Companies) and excluding assets, liabilities and other balance sheet items of the AICF, Amaba, Amaca, ABN 60 and Marlew Mining Pty Limited, (ii) 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 (iii) 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 James Hardie 117 Pty Ltd (the Performing Subsidiary) and the Company under the AFFA.
Subsequent to 30 June 2014, the Company drew US$320.0 million from its combined credit facilities to fund capital expenditures, dividend payments and the AICF contribution payment.
7. Asbestos
In February 2007, the Companys shareholders approved a proposal pursuant to which the Company provides long-term funding to AICF. The Company owns 100% of the Performing Subsidiary that funds the AICF subject to the provisions of the AFFA. The Company appoints three of the AICF directors and the New South Wales Government appoints two of the AICF directors.
Under the terms of the AFFA, the Performing Subsidiary has an obligation to make payments to AICF on an annual basis. The amount of these annual payments is 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 plc guarantees the Performing Subsidiarys obligation. As a result, the Company considers itself to be the primary beneficiary of AICF as defined under US GAAP.
The Companys interest in AICF is considered variable because the potential impact on the Company will vary based upon the annual actuarial assessments obtained by AICF with respect to asbestos-related personal injury claims against the Former James Hardie Companies.
Although the Company has no legal ownership in AICF, for financial reporting purposes the Company consolidates AICF due to its pecuniary and contractual interests in AICF as a result of the funding arrangements outlined in the AFFA. The Companys consolidation of AICF results in a separate recognition of the asbestos liability and certain other asbestos-related assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet. Among other items, the Company records a deferred tax asset for the
F-10
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
anticipated future tax benefit the Company believes is available to it that arise from amounts contributed to AICF by the Performing Subsidiary. Since fiscal year 2007, movements in the asbestos liability arising from changes in foreign currency or actuarial adjustments are classified as asbestos adjustments and the income tax benefit arising from contributions to AICF is included within income tax benefit (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income when realized.
For the three months ended 30 June 2014, the Company did not provide financial or other support to AICF that it was not previously contractually required to provide. On 1 July 2014, the Company made a payment of A$119.9 million (US$113.0 million) to AICF, representing 35% of our free cash flow for fiscal year 2014 as defined by the AFFA. Future funding of AICF by the Company under the terms of the AFFA depends on the Companys long-term financial success, specifically the Companys ability to generate net operating cash flow.
AICF has operating costs that are claims related and non-claims related. Claims related costs incurred by AICF are treated as reductions in the accrued asbestos liability balances previously reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Non-claims related operating costs incurred by AICF are expensed as incurred in the line item Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. AICF earns interest on its cash and cash equivalents and on its short-term investments; these amounts are included in the line item Interest income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
AICF may draw funds under a long term credit facility (Facility) to fund the payment of asbestos claims and certain operating and legal costs of AICF, Amaca, Amaba and ABN 60. The Facility is available to be drawn up to 9 December 2020 (being the tenth anniversary of signing) and must be repaid on or by 1 November 2030. Interest accrues daily on amounts outstanding and is calculated based on a 365-day year and is payable monthly. The borrowings under the Facility are classified as current as AICF intends to repay the debt within one year. Interest paid amounts are included in the line item Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. On 2 July 2014, AICF repaid principal and interest amounts outstanding under the Facility in the amount of US$48.6 million.

Asbestos Liability
The amount of the asbestos liability reflects the terms of the AFFA, which has been recognized by reference to (but is not exclusively based upon) the most recent actuarial estimate of projected future cash flows calculated by KPMG Actuarial (KPMGA). Based on their assumptions, KPMGA arrived at a range of possible total future cash flows and calculated a central estimate, which is intended to reflect a probability-weighted expected outcome of those actuarially estimated future cash flows. The Company views the central estimate as the basis for recognizing the asbestos liability in the Companys financial statements.
The Company considered discounting when determining the best estimate under US GAAP. The Company has recognized the asbestos liability by reference to (but is not exclusively based upon) the central estimate as undiscounted on the basis that it is the Companys view that the timing and amounts of such cash flows are not fixed or readily determinable. The Company considered inflation when determining the best estimate under US GAAP. It is the Companys view that there are material uncertainties in estimating an appropriate rate of inflation over the extended period of the AFFA. The Company views the undiscounted and uninflated central estimate as the best estimate under US GAAP.

Adjustments in the asbestos liability due to changes in the actuarial estimate of projected future cash flows and changes in the estimate of future operating costs of AICF are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income during the period in which they occur. Claims paid by AICF and claims-handling costs incurred by AICF are treated as reductions in the accrued balances previously reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company receives an updated actuarial estimate as of 31 March each year. The most recent actuarial assessment was performed as of 31 March 2014.

Accordingly these 153 claims have been included in claims activity during the year ended 31 March 2013 to appropriately reflect the actual number of open claims at 31 March 2013. These 153 additional claims that were closed in prior years have been excluded for the purposes of determining the average settlement amount in both US and Australian dollars, as reflected in the table above, for the year ended 31 March 2013. As these 153 claims were closed in prior years, the actual number of closed claims during the year ended 31 March 2013 was 519 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. Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivatives for risk management purposes and does not engage in speculative activity. A key risk management objective for the Company is to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the Companys external credit facilities and foreign currency risk primarily with respect to forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies. The determination of whether the Company enters into a derivative transaction to achieve these risk management objectives depends on a number of factors, including market related factors that impact the extent to which derivative instruments will achieve such risk management objectives of the Company.
F-16
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
The Company may from time to time enter into interest rate swap contracts to protect against upward movements in US Dollar 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in Other income.
The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts and enters into hedging relationships from time to time in order to mitigate exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. When achievable, these instruments are designated as hedges and treated as a cash flow hedging arrangement for accounting purposes. In September 2013, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts designated as hedges in order to mitigate exposure associated with the anticipated purchases of production assets denominated in a foreign currency in a future period.
Where such contracts are designated as, and are effective as, a hedge, changes in the fair value of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges are deferred and recorded in other comprehensive income. These deferred gains or losses are recognized in income when the transactions being hedged are recognized. The ineffective portion of these hedges is recognized in income currently. Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes are recognized in income.
Interest Rate Swaps
For interest rate swap contracts, the Company has agreed to pay fixed interest rates while receiving a floating interest rate. At 30 June 2014, the weighted average fixed interest rate of these contracts is 2.1% and the weighted average remaining life is 4.25 years. For the three months ended 30 June 2014 and 2013, the Company included in Other (expense) income an unrealized loss of US$1.3 million and an unrealized gain of US$0.1 million, respectively, on interest rate swap contracts. Included in Interest expense is a realized loss on settlements of interest rate swap contracts of US$0.2 million and US$0.1 million for the three months ended 30 June 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
The unrealized gains associated with the forward contracts not designated as a cash flow hedging arrangement were US$0.9 million in the three months ended 30 June 2014. In addition, the cumulative unrealized loss arising from changes in the fair value of foreign currency forward contacts designated as a cash flow hedging arrangement was US$0.1 million as of 30 June 2014. Further, there were no amounts reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings for the three months ended 30 June 2014. The maximum term of foreign currency forward contracts that hedged forecasted transactions was 1.0 years at 30 June 2014. There were no significant gains or losses reclassified into earnings as a result of a discontinuance of a cash flow hedge resulting from an unfavorable change in probability of a forecasted transaction occurring. The fair value of these contracts is included in Other liabilities at 30 June 2014.

9. 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.
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 swaps.
At 30 June 2014, the Companys financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, restricted short-term investments, trade receivables, trade payables, dividends payable, debt, interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts.
Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Trade payables and Dividend 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.
F-18
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
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 categorized 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 under these credit facilities are tied directly to market rates and fluctuate as market rates change. As of 30 June 2014, no debt was outstanding under the Companys existing credit facilities.
Interest Rate Swaps 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 recognized 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 categorized as Level 2.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts The Companys foreign currency forward contracts are valued using models that maximize the use of market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
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 2014 according to the valuation techniques the Company used to determine their fair values.

10. 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 general liability claims, 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 the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, except as they relate to asbestos and New Zealand weathertightness claims as described in these financial statements.
New Zealand Weathertightness Claims
Since fiscal year 2002, the Companys New Zealand subsidiaries have been and continue to be joined in a number of weathertightness claims in New Zealand that relate to residential buildings (single dwellings and apartment complexes) and a small number of non-residential buildings, primarily constructed from 1998 to 2004. The claims often involve multiple parties and allege that losses were incurred due to excessive moisture penetration of the buildings structures. The claims typically include allegations of poor building design, inadequate certification of plans, inadequate construction review and compliance certification and deficient work by sub-contractors.
The Company recognizes a liability for both asserted and unasserted New Zealand weathertightness claims in the period in which the loss becomes probable and estimable. The amount of reasonably possible loss is dependent on a number of factors including, without limitation, the specific facts and circumstances unique to each claim brought against the Companys New Zealand subsidiaries, 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 availability of claimant compensation under a Government compensation scheme, the amount of loss estimated to be allocable to the Companys New Zealand subsidiaries and the extent to which the co-defendants and the Companys New Zealand subsidiaries have access to third-party recoveries to cover a portion of the costs incurred in defending and resolving such actions. In addition to the above limitations, the total loss incurred is also dependent on the manner and extent to which the statute of limitations will apply in future periods.
Historically, the Companys New Zealand subsidiaries have been joined to these claims as one of several co-defendants, including local government entities responsible for enforcing building codes and practices, resulting in the Companys New Zealand subsidiaries becoming liable for only a portion of each claim. In addition, the Companys New Zealand subsidiaries have had access to third-party recoveries to defray a portion of the costs incurred in resolving such claims.
The Company has established a provision for asserted and unasserted New Zealand weathertightness claims within the current portion of Other liabilities, with a corresponding estimated receivable for third-party recoveries being recognized within Accounts and other receivables. At 30 June 2014 and 31 March 2014, the amount of the provision for New Zealand weathertightness claims, net of estimated third-party recoveries, was US$10.3 million and US$12.7 million, respectively.
The estimated loss for these matters, net of estimated third-party recoveries, incorporates assumptions that are subject to the foregoing uncertainties and are principally derived from, but not exclusively based
F-20
James Hardie Industries plc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
on, historical claims experience together with facts and circumstances unique to each claim. If the nature and extent of the resolution of claims in future periods differ from the historical claims experience, then the actual amount of loss may be materially higher or lower than estimated losses accrued at 30 June 2014. Accordingly, due to the inherent uncertainties associated with estimating the amount of loss incurred for these matters, as discussed above, and based on information presently available, the Company believes it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these matters collectively could result in an additional loss of up to approximately US$2.7 million in excess of the amount already accrued, net of estimated third-party recoveries, at 30 June 2014.
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.
11. 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 recognizes 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) and Australian federal examinations by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for tax years prior to tax year 2010. The Company is no longer subject to examinations by The Netherlands tax authority, for tax years prior to tax year 2008.
Taxing authorities from various jurisdictions in which the Company operates are in the process of reviewing and auditing the Companys respective jurisdictional tax returns for various ranges of years. The Company accrues 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.
