During 2013, 6,898 of net actuarial loss was amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net periodic benefit cost (see Note 8 Pension Plans). Because of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, there was no federal or state income-based tax expense or benefit related to amounts recorded to or reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
