The Company has federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $101.2 million and $110.4 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014, to reduce future cash payments for income taxes. Of the $101.2 million of NOL carryforwards at December 31, 2014, $0.5 million relates to the excess tax benefits from employee restricted stock. Equity will be increased by $0.5 million if and when such excess tax benefits are ultimately realized. These federal NOL carryforwards will expire from 2024 through 2034 and state NOL carryforwards will expire 2015 through 2034. The Company also had $0.5 million of AMT credit carryforwards with an indefinite life, available to offset regular federal income tax requirements. The Company has federal and state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $2.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2014. These tax credits will begin to expire in 2027. To the extent that an ownership change has occurred under Internal Revenue Code Sections 382 and 383, the Company’s use of its loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be limited. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties of approximately $0.6 million for both years. The Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the changes in those balances are as follows (in thousands):
|  | Year Ended December 31, |

We account for income taxes as required by FASB ASC Topic No. 740, Income Taxes. This Topic clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Topic also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Topic requires an entity to recognize the financial statement impact of a tax position when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. In addition, the Topic permits an entity to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties either as income tax expense or operating expenses. The Company has chosen to recognize interest and penalties related to tax uncertainties as income tax expense. The Company assesses whether a valuation allowance should be recorded against its deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence, using a “more likely than not” realization standard. The four sources of taxable income that must be considered in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized are: (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences (i.e., offset of gross deferred tax liabilities against gross deferred tax assets); (2) taxable income in prior carryback years, if carryback is permitted under the applicable tax law; (3) tax planning strategies and (4) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards. In assessing whether a valuation allowance is required, significant weight is to be given to evidence that can be objectively verified. A significant factor in the Company’s assessment is that the Company has been in a three-year historical cumulative loss as of the end of fiscal 2012. In addition, the Company is also in a loss for the year ending December 31, 2013 as well as the year ending December 31, 2014. These facts, combined with uncertain near-term market and economic conditions, reduced the Company’s ability to rely on projections of future taxable income in assessing the realizability of its deferred tax assets. After a review of the four sources of taxable income as of December 31, 2014 (as described above), and after consideration of the Company’s continuing cumulative loss position as of December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a valuation allowance related to its U.S.-based deferred tax assets of $75.7 million at December 31, 2014. During fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets increased by $3.2 million, $12.1 million and $7.2 million, respectively. We recognized interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the fiscal years 2014 and 2013, we recognized approximately $3,000 of interest and penalties each year. The cumulative interest and penalties at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $44,000 and $41,000, respectively. Unrecognized tax benefits of $0.2 million at December 31, 2014 would impact the effective tax rate. We anticipate a decrease in gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.2 million within the next twelve months based on federal, state, and foreign statute expirations. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as to income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. Federal income tax returns of the Company are subject to IRS examination for the 2012 and 2013 tax years. State income tax returns are subject to examination for a period of three to four years after filing. The Company closed their federal audit of 2011 loss carry back claim during the year with no impact to the financial statements. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no outstanding tax audits. The outcome of tax audits cannot be predicted with certainty. If any issues addressed in the Company’s tax audits are resolved in a manner not consistent with management’s expectations, the Company could be required to adjust its provision for income tax in the period such resolution occurs.
