The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, as well as in the majority of states and in Canada. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has a net deferred tax liability of $51.4 million, which is net of certain deferred tax assets. The Company has a deferred tax asset of $3.3 million for state net operating loss ("NOL") carry-forwards. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the benefit from the state NOL and tax credit carry-forwards will not be realized and therefore has provided a valuation allowance of $1.1 million against the deferred tax assets relating to these NOL and tax credit carry-forwards. 
 
The Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $3.1 million as of September 30, 2017.  If recognized, the unrecognized tax benefit would reduce the 2017 annual effective tax rate by 0.6%. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company reversed $29,000 and $2,000, respectively, of interest relating to its liability for unrecognized tax benefits.  Interest on unrecognized tax benefits is reported by the Company as a component of tax expense.  As of September 30, 2017, the accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits was $352,000.
