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 believes it is more likely than not that it will be able to fully realize the benefit of its federal net operating loss ("NOL") carry-forwards. The Company also believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from certain state NOL and tax credit carry-forwards will not be realized and therefore has provided a valuation allowance of $1.1 million against the deferred tax assets relating to these NOL and tax credit carry-forwards. 
 
The Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $3.0 million as of March 31, 2017.  If recognized, the unrecognized tax benefit would reduce the 2017 annual effective tax rate by 0.5%.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company accrued $6,000 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, 2017, the accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits was $360,000.
