of global business , there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain . some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of cost reimbursement arrangements among related entities . although the company believes its estimates are reasonable , no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals . such differences could have a material impact on the company 2019s income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made . on november 4 , 2007 ( the first day of its 2008 fiscal year ) , the company adopted new accounting principles on accounting for uncertain tax positions . these principles require companies to determine whether it is 201cmore likely than not 201d that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any benefit can be recorded in the financial statements . an uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% ( 50 % ) likelihood of being sustained . there were no changes to the company 2019s liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the adoption of these provisions . as of october 30 , 2010 and october 31 , 2009 , the company had a liability of $ 18.4 million and $ 18.2 million , respectively , for gross unrealized tax benefits , all of which , if settled in the company 2019s favor , would lower the company 2019s effective tax rate in the period recorded . in addition , as of october 30 , 2010 and october 31 , 2009 , the company had a liability of approximately $ 9.8 million and $ 8.0 million , respectively , for interest and penalties . the total liability as of october 30 , 2010 and october 31 , 2009 of $ 28.3 million and $ 26.2 million , respectively , for uncertain tax positions is classified as non-current , and is included in other non-current liabilities , because the company believes that the ultimate payment or settlement of these liabilities will not occur within the next twelve months . prior to the adoption of these provisions , these amounts were included in current income tax payable . the company includes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of income , and as a result , no change in classification was made upon adopting these provisions . the condensed consolidated statements of income for fiscal years 2010 , 2009 and 2008 include $ 1.8 million , $ 1.7 million and $ 1.3 million , respectively , of interest and penalties related to these uncertain tax positions . due to the complexity associated with its tax uncertainties , the company cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate as to the period in which it expects to settle the liabilities associated with these uncertain tax positions . the following table summarizes the changes in the total amounts of uncertain tax positions for fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2010. .
