The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as in the majority of states and in Canada. The Company acquired a $276.8 million net deferred tax asset before purchase accounting adjustments in the Merger, including $238.4 million of federal and state net operating loss ("NOL") and tax credit carry-forwards. The Merger triggered an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Service Code ("Section 382"). As a result of being subject to Section 382, the Company will be limited in the amount of federal NOL carry-forwards that can be used annually to offset future taxable income. The Company believes it is more likely than not that it will be able to fully realize the benefit of its federal NOL carry-forwards. The Company also believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain state and foreign NOL and tax credit carry-forwards will not be realized and therefore has provided a valuation allowance of $2.6 million against the deferred tax assets relating to these NOL and tax credit carry-forwards. 
 
The Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $2.8 million as of March 31, 2015.  If recognized, the unrecognized tax benefit would reduce the 2015 annual effective tax rate by 0.6%.  During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company reversed $13,000 of interest relating to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits.  Interest on unrecognized tax benefits is reported by the Company as a component of tax expense.  As of March 31, 2015, the accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits was $385,000.
