The Company had $11.0 million and $6.6 million of current deferred tax assets and $2.4 million and $4.8 million of current deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The net current deferred income tax assets of $8.6 million as of December 31, 2014 and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2013 is classified as deferred income taxes in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company had $103.1 million and $68.7 million of noncurrent deferred tax assets and $197.4 million and $127.2 million of noncurrent deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Income tax related interest and penalties were immaterial as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company is subject to federal and state tax examinations for all tax years subsequent to December 31, 2012. Although the pre-2012 years are no longer subject to examinations by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") and various state taxing authorities, net operating loss carryforwards generated in those years were used by the Company during 2013 and 2014 and may still be adjusted upon examination by the IRS or state taxing authorities if they were used after 2012 or will be used in a future period.
