In connection with the State of California examination of the Company's 2007 and 2008 state tax returns, in April 2012 the Company received a preliminary determination seeking approximately $450,000 in unpaid taxes in connection with the Company's treatment of the proceeds from its 2008 sale of Safeco Corporation stock and dividends received. The Company intends to oppose the State of California's position. The final disposition of the proposed audit adjustments could require the Company to make additional tax payments, which could materially affect its effective tax rate.
