The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company believes there will be a material reduction in its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months as a result of amended state filings for which an estimate cannot be made.

The tax fiscal years 2011-2014 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
