Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 382”) imposes a limitation on a corporation's ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) if it experiences an “ownership change.” In general, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership of certain stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three-year period. The Company has not had an ownership change under Section 382. If such a change did occur, a limitation could be placed on the Company's ability to utilize its NOLs.
 
One of the Company's subsidiaries is under examination for sales and use tax in the State of Massachusetts. The Company has concluded that there will be an immaterial assessment and has not provided for such liability. A prior year income tax examination related to one of the Company's subsidiaries in the State of New Jersey concluded during 2011 and resulted in a small refund.
