As of December 31, 2011, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $277.0 and $188.0 million, respectively, available to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carryforwards will continue to expire during the years 2012 through 2031.

For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had a valuation allowance of $148.4 million and $142.6 million, respectively, as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that its tax assets will not be fully realized.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company's utilization of its available net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income is not restricted pursuant to the "change in ownership" rules in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. However in subsequent periods, the utilization of its available net operating loss carryforwards against future taxable income may be restricted pursuant to the "change in ownership" rules in Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These rules in general provide that an ownership change occurs when the percentage shareholdings of 5% direct or indirect shareholders of a loss corporation have in aggregate increased by more than 50 percentage points during the immediately preceding three years.

The Company addresses uncertainty in tax positions according to the provisions of ASC 740, "Income Taxes", which clarifies the accounting for income taxes by establishing the minimum recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in order to be recognized in the financial statements.

The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company's unrecognized tax benefits (in millions):

	Amount
Balance at December 31, 2009	$	6.8
Change in balances related to tax positions		(0.4	)
Balance at December 31, 2010	$	6.4
Change in balances related to tax positions		—
Balance at December 31, 2011	$	6.4

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $6.4 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions, of which $0.9 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized.

The Company does not anticipate that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011 will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had no accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions due to the net operating loss.

The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, various states and Mexico. The tax years 2008 to 2011 and 2007 to 2011 remain open to examination by federal and state taxing jurisdictions, respectively, and the tax years 2001 to 2011 remain open to examination by foreign jurisdiction. Net operating losses from years from which the statute of limitations have expired (2007 and prior for federal and 2006 and prior for state) could be adjusted in the event that the taxing jurisdictions challenge the amounts of net operating loss carryforwards from such years.
