The following is a roll-forward of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits, not including interest and penalties, for the three-months ended March 31, 2016:

	Gross Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Balance at December 31, 2015	$	471
Additions for tax positions related to the current year	-
Additions for tax positions related to the prior year	-
Decreases related to settlement with taxing authority	-

Balance at March 31, 2016	$	471

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the provision for income taxes in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2016, the Company had accrued approximately $0.2 million in interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. If the Company were to prevail on all uncertain tax positions, the resultant impact on the Company’s effective tax rate would not be significant. It is expected that the change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months will not be significant.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax in multiple state and foreign jurisdictions.

On August 7, 2015, the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) began its examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.

The Company is in various stages of examination with certain states and certain foreign jurisdictions. The 2012 through 2015 U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS. State income tax returns are subject to examination for the 2011 through 2015 tax years.
