8 – Income Taxes

The Company had unrecognized income tax benefits totaling $1.5 million as a component of accrued liabilities at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total of which, if recognized, would impact its effective tax rate. An unfavorable settlement may require a charge to income tax expense and a favorable resolution would be recognized as a reduction to income tax expense. The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. No amounts were accrued for penalties. The Company had approximately $98,500 accrued for the payment of interest at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months.
