At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change within the next twelve months. As previously reported, the Internal Revenue Service has proposed that Loan Central, as a tax return preparer, be assessed a penalty for allegedly negotiating or endorsing checks issued by the U.S. Treasury to taxpayers.  The penalty would amount to approximately $1.2 million.  Loan Central appealed this matter within the Internal Revenue Service.   Loan Central was recently notified that the Appeals Office will not concede the penalty, and the penalty has been assessed.  The Company will have to resolve the matter through the judicial system.   Based on consultation with legal counsel, management remains confident that it is highly unlikely that the penalty recommendation will be sustained.  Therefore, the Company did not recognize any interest and/or penalties related to this matter for the periods presented.


The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as West Virginia state income tax.  The Company is no longer subject to federal or state examination for years prior to 2011.  The tax years 2011-2013 remain open to federal and state examinations.
