At December 31, 2015, Federated had deferred tax assets related to state and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards in certain taxing jurisdictions in the aggregate of $18.1 million, of which the state net operating losses will expire through 2035. The foreign net operating losses have no expiration period. A valuation allowance has been recognized for $15.6 million (or 99%) of the deferred tax asset for state tax net operating losses, and for $2.2 million (or 92%) of the deferred tax asset for foreign tax net operating losses. The valuation allowances were recorded due to management's belief that it is more likely than not that Federated will not realize the full benefit of these net operating losses. Federated's remaining deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2015 primarily related to compensation-related expenses that have been recognized for book purposes but are not yet deductible for tax purposes. Management believes that it is more likely than not that Federated will receive the full benefit of these deferred tax assets due to the expectation that Federated will generate taxable income well in excess of these amounts in the years they become deductible. At December 31, 2014, Federated had deferred tax assets related to state and foreign tax net operating loss carryforwards in certain taxing jurisdictions in the aggregate of $17.6 million, of which the state net operating losses will expire through 2034. The foreign net operating losses have no expiration period. A valuation allowance has been recognized for $15.6 million (or 99%) of the deferred tax asset for state tax net operating losses, and for $1.6 million (or 88%) of the deferred tax asset for foreign tax net operating losses. The valuation allowances were recorded due to management's belief that it is more likely than not that Federated will not realize the full benefit of these net operating losses. Federated and its subsidiaries file annual income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various U.S. state and local jurisdictions, and in certain foreign jurisdictions. Based upon its review of these filings, there were no material unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2015 or 2014. Therefore, there were no material changes during 2015, and no reasonable possibility of a significant increase or decrease in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
