INCOME TAXES [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	7. INCOME TAXES At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has approximately $2.7 million of liabilities for uncertain tax positions ($0.5 million included in income taxes payable and $2.2 million, included in liability for uncertain tax positions) all of which, if recognized, would reduce the Company's effective tax rate. The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010 and for state examinations before 2007. Regarding foreign subsidiaries, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years before 2004 in Asia and generally 2006 in Europe As a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns may change materially from those recorded as liabilities for uncertain tax positions in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2013. A total of $0.6 million of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions relates principally to the 2007 tax year. The statute of limitations related to these liabilities is scheduled to expire on September 15, 2013. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits arising from uncertain tax positions as a component of the current provision for income taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized an immaterial amount of interest and penalties and no interest and penalties, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has approximately $0.2 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which is included in the liability for uncertain tax positions in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at each date. Upon the acquisition of Fibreco, Fibreco had a deferred tax liability in the amount of $0.1 million arising from various temporary differences. In connection with the 2012 Acquisitions, the Company was required to complete a preliminary fair market value report of property, plant and equipment and intangibles. As a result of that report, the Company established deferred tax liabilities at the date of acquisition in the amounts of $1.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the Fibreco and Gigacom acquisitions. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, a combined deferred tax liability of $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, remains on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon completion of the acquisition of TRP, TRP had deferred tax assets of $2.2 million arising from various temporary differences, which are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, the fair market value reports have not been completed and therefore the Company had no additional deferred tax amounts relating to the Powerbox and TRP acquisitions. The Company has made elections under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 338(g) to step-up the tax basis of the 2012 acquisitions to fair value. The elections made under Section 338(g) only affect the U.S. income taxes (not those of the foreign countries where the acquired entities were incorporated). On January 2, 2013, President Obama signed the "American Taxpayer Relief Act" ("ATRA"). Among other things, ATRA extends the Research and Experimentation credit ("R&E"), which expired at the end of 2011, through 2013 and 2014, respectively. Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, "Income Taxes", the effects of the new legislation are recognized upon enactment, which is when the President signs a tax bill into law. Although the extenders were effective retroactively for 2012, the Company could only consider currently enacted tax law as of the balance sheet date in determining current and deferred taxes at December 31, 2012. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company recognized the $0.4 million R&E credit from 2012 as an increase in the March 31, 2013 quarterly benefit for income taxes.

7. INCOME TAXES

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has approximately $2.7 million of liabilities for uncertain tax positions ($0.5 million included in income taxes payable and $2.2 million, included in liability for uncertain tax positions) all of which, if recognized, would reduce the Company's effective tax rate.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010 and for state examinations before 2007. Regarding foreign subsidiaries, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years before 2004 in Asia and generally 2006 in Europe

As a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that the related unrecognized benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed tax returns may change materially from those recorded as liabilities for uncertain tax positions in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2013. A total of $0.6 million of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions relates principally to the 2007 tax year. The statute of limitations related to these liabilities is scheduled to expire on September 15, 2013.

The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits arising from uncertain tax positions as a component of the current provision for income taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized an immaterial amount of interest and penalties and no interest and penalties, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has approximately $0.2 million accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which is included in the liability for uncertain tax positions in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at each date.

Upon the acquisition of Fibreco, Fibreco had a deferred tax liability in the amount of $0.1 million arising from various temporary differences.

As a result of that report, the Company established deferred tax liabilities at the date of acquisition in the amounts of $1.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the Fibreco and Gigacom acquisitions. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, a combined deferred tax liability of $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, remains on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon completion of the acquisition of TRP, TRP had deferred tax assets of $2.2 million arising from various temporary differences, which are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, the fair market value reports have not been completed and therefore the Company had no additional deferred tax amounts relating to the Powerbox and TRP acquisitions.

The Company has made elections under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Section 338(g) to step-up the tax basis of the 2012 acquisitions to fair value. The elections made under Section 338(g) only affect the U.S. income taxes (not those of the foreign countries where the acquired entities were incorporated).
