(a)	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had pre-tax consolidated federal NOLs of $35.6 million and $30.1 million, respectively. The federal NOLs will expire between 2031 and 2034. In addition, the Company has separate state NOLs of approximately $315.8 million at December 31, 2014 that will expire at various times between 2015 and 2034.


(b)	The valuation allowance is related to items for which it is "more likely than not" that the tax benefit will not be realized.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company identified an error in the calculation of its previously disclosed deferred tax asset for net operating loss carryforwards. The error related primarily to the calculation of the Federal benefit of the state operating loss carryforwards. The Company has determined that the error is not material to prior periods. The Company has corrected this error as an out-of-period adjustment in 2014, resulting in a $5.8 million decrease to the deferred tax asset for net operating loss carryforwards with a corresponding decrease in the related valuation allowance, resulting in no net change to net deferred taxes in the table above. There was no impact to the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, consolidated balance sheets or the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Deferred income taxes are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):



	December 31,

(a)	Amount is primarily related to the Company's net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets, including accrued expenses and goodwill, which impacted the income tax provision.


(b)	Out of period adjustment in the valuation allowance is offset by an out of period adjustment to the deferred tax assets, as noted above, thus adjustment is limited to disclosure.
