INCOME TAXES	NOTE 11 INCOME TAXES Unrecognized tax benefits pursuant to uncertain tax positions were $35.4 million and $36.5 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, none of which would impact our effective tax rate. We have significant permanent differences, primarily from warrant liability gains and losses and changes in valuation allowances that cause our effective tax rate to deviate from statutory rates. The effective tax rates, based upon actual operating results, were 56.0% and 39.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to 10.5% and 19.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The changes in the tax rates were primarily attributable to changes in the warrant liability, valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets, as well as other items which are permanent differences for tax purposes. The increase in deferred tax liabilities between December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016 is due primarily to the utilization of federal tax assets used to offset both the tax gain on the sale of the 80 South Street Assemblage and other sources of operating income.
