The Company files tax returns in the U.S., and in the U.K, Germany and Mexico foreign tax jurisdictions and also in various state jurisdictions in the U.S. The tax years 2011 through 2014 remain open to examination. Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not recognize expense for interest or penalties, and do not have any amounts accrued at December 31, 2014 and 2013, as the Company does not believe it has taken any uncertain tax positions.
