Park performs an analysis to determine if a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required in accordance with GAAP. Vision Bank is subject to state income tax in Alabama and Florida. During 2011, Park recognized $6.10 million in state tax expense which was the charge necessary to write off the previously reported state operating loss carryforward asset and other state deferred tax assets at Vision Bank. Prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement with Centennial, management of Park believed that a merger of Vision Bank into The Park National Bank (the national bank subsidiary of Park) would enable Park to fully utilize the state net operating loss carryforward asset recorded at Vision Bank. The structure of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement will not allow either the buyer or the seller to benefit from the previously recorded net operating loss carryforward asset at Vision bank to offset future taxable income; therefore, this asset was written off by Vision Bank at December 31, 2011. In 2010, a state tax benefit of $1.16 million was recorded by Vision Bank, consisting of a gross benefit of $3.45 million and a valuation allowance of $2.29 million. In the schedule of deferred taxes, the valuation allowance is shown net of the federal tax benefit of $803,000. Management has determined that it is not required to establish a valuation allowance against remaining deferred tax assets in accordance with GAAP since it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be fully utilized in future periods. The components of the provision for federal and state income taxes are shown below:

Park and its Ohio-based subsidiaries do not pay state income tax to the state of Ohio, but pay a franchise tax based on their year-end equity. The franchise tax expense is included in the state tax expense and is shown in "state taxes" on Park's Consolidated Statements of Income. Vision Bank is subject to state income tax, in the states of Alabama and Florida. State income tax expense/(benefit) for Vision Bank is included in "income taxes" on Park's Consolidated Statements of Income. Vision Bank's 2011 state income tax expense was $6.10 million.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in the future periods at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $378,000, $370,000 and $504,000, respectively. Park does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease during the next year. The (income)/expense related to interest and penalties recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $2,500, $(10,500) and $(18,000), respectively. The amount accrued for interest and penalties at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $63,000, $60,500 and $71,000, respectively. Park and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax. Some of Park's subsidiaries are subject to state income tax in the following states: Alabama, Florida, California and Kentucky. Park is no longer subject to examination by federal or state taxing authorities for the tax year 2007 and the years prior.

Additionally, the 2009 state of Ohio franchise tax return was recently under examination. The IRS examination closed in the first quarter of 2012 with no adjustments.
