Management believes that there are no material uncertain tax positions that would impact the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company may be subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for calendar years 2010 through 2013. The Company may also be subject to examination on certain state and local jurisdictions for the years 2009 through 2013.
