The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions, if any, by determining if it is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. The Company records uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that such liabilities have been incurred. The Company, when required, will accrue interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company releases disproportionate tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income as individual items are liquidated.  Commitments and Contingencies The Company is subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes and environmental matters, as well as commitments under contractual and other commercial obligations.

Diluted net income per share adjusts basic net income per share for all the potentially dilutive shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares include unexercised stock options, unvested stock-based awards and shares related to warrants and convertible notes outstanding. The dilutive potential common shares for the Company’s stock-based awards and warrants were determined using the treasury stock method. The dilutive potential common shares for the Company’s convertible notes were determined using the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, the convertible notes would have a dilutive impact on net income per share when
