7. INCOME TAXES

The Company recorded income taxes at an estimated effective income tax rate applied to income before income taxes of 34.2% and 34.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company offsets taxable income for state tax purposes with net operating loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $29,474 for state tax purposes. For state tax purposes, there is a limitation on the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that can be utilized in a given year to offset state taxable income and management believes that some of the net operating loss carryforwards will be subject to this annual limit in 2015. State net operating loss carryforwards will begin to expire in 2025. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $335 and $332, respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate is approximately $218 and $216 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
