INCOME TAXES [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	8. INCOME TAXES At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has approximately $38.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of liabilities for uncertain tax positions ($0.2 million and $1.0 million, respectively, included in income taxes payable and $38.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, included in liability for uncertain tax positions) all of which, if recognized, would reduce the Company's effective tax rate. In connection with the acquisition of Power Solutions, the Company recorded an estimated liability for uncertain tax positions of $35.9 million, including interest and penalties of $11.9 million. 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 2011 and for state examinations before 2008. Regarding foreign subsidiaries, the Company is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years before 2003 in Asia and generally 2007 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 September 30, 2014. A total of $4.8 million of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions relates principally to the 2011 tax year which expire during the three months ended September 30, 2015. Additionally, a total of $0.8 million of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions relating to the 2010 tax year were reversed during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. This was offset in part by an increase to the liability for uncertain tax positions in the amount of $1.4 million which is included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. A total of $0.5 million of previously recorded liabilities for uncertain tax positions relating to 2006 and 2009 tax years were reversed during the quarter ended September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $0.7 million and an immaterial amount, respectively, of interest and penalties in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has $12.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, accrued for the payment of such interest and penalties at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, a portion of which is included in each of income taxes payable and liability for uncertain tax positions in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at each date. In connection with the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions, the Company will accrue approximately $2.5 million of interest and penalties annually. Upon completion of the acquisitions of Power Solutions and Connectivity Solutions, there were net deferred tax assets of $7.1 million and deferred tax liabilities of $19.1 million, respectively, arising from various temporary differences and net operating loss carry forward acquired, which are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2014, the fair market value reports have not been completed and therefore the Company had no additional deferred tax amounts relating to the Power Solutions or Connectivity Solutions acquisitions. At September 30, 2014, a net deferred tax liability of $11.0 million remains on the condensed consolidated balance sheet for the 2014 Acquisitions. The Company intends to make elections to step up the tax basis of the Power Solutions acquisition to fair value under IRC Section 338(g). The Company does not intend to make an election to step-up the tax basis of the Emerson acquisition to fair value under IRC Section 338(g). Upon the acquisition of TRP, TRP had a deferred tax asset in the amount of $2.2 million arising from various timing differences related to depreciation and accrued expenses. Upon the acquisition of Array, Array had a deferred tax liability of $0.7 million arising from timing differences related to depreciation and a deferred tax asset of $2.1 million arising from the NOL acquired. In connection with the 2013 Acquisitions, the Company was required to complete a 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 amount of $0.6 million and $1.0 million respectively for the TRP and Array acquisitions. At September 30, 2014, a net deferred tax asset of $1.7 million remains on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not intend to make any election to step up the tax basis of the 2013 acquisitions to fair value under IRC Section 338(g). On December 31, 2013, under the "American Taxpayer Relief Act" ("ATRA"), the Research and Experimentation credit ("R&E") expired. The Company did not recognize any R&E credits during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. If the R&E credit is extended back to January 1, 2014, the Company will recognize the R&E credit at that time. The annual R&E credit is approximately $0.3 million. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company recognized a $0.4 million R&E credit from 2012 as an increase in the March 31, 2013 quarterly benefit for income taxes. The Company continues to monitor proposed legislation affecting the taxation of transfers of U.S. intangible property and other potential tax law changes.
