The Company's tax expcnse in all quarters was also impacted by the Company not recording tax expense on noncontrolling interests from pass through entities. The Company's liability for unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $242 million as of June 30, 2015. The Company anticipates it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by $0 to $124 million over the next twelve months beginning June 30, 2015 as a result of the possible closure of federal tax audits, potential settlements with certain states and foreign countries and the lapse of the statute of limitations in various state and foreign jurisdictions.
