15. INCOME TAXES

The following is a roll-forward of the Company’s total gross unrecognized tax benefits, not including interest and penalties, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2014:

	Gross Unrecognized Tax Benefits
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	935
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 September 30, 2014	$	935

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 September 30, 2014, the Company had accrued approximately $0.4 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 March 8, 2013, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) began its examination of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011. The Company is also in various stages of examination with certain states. The 2012 and 2013 U.S. federal income tax returns are subject to IRS examination. State income tax returns are subject to examination for the 2010 through 2013 tax years.
