The Company or one of its subsidiaries files U.S. federal, state and foreign income tax returns. Income tax returns for U.S. Federal (through 2013), New York City (through 2003) and state (through 2009) and Connecticut state (through 2003) have been audited. An examination of New York State tax returns for 2010 through 2012 is currently underway. The Company cannot estimate when the examinations will conclude or the impact such examinations will have on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, if any.

The Company has determined that unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States.
