Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
The Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of the Registrant’s federal income tax returns for the 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, and 2009 tax years in January, 2011. The 2010 tax return was subsequently added to the examination. In its 10-Q filed for the second quarter of 2012, the Company disclosed it proposed a settlement with the IRS that would result in a tax adjustment of $2.0 million for all years under exam. Since the second quarter of 2012, the Company has been accruing an expense for interest on the proposed settlement amount of $2.0 million.
On December 1, 2015, the Company agreed to a settlement with the IRS. The settlement agreement includes a net tax adjustment of $1,042,000 for all years under exam. The adjustment to the tax liability will not affect earnings for the Company. The Company estimates that it has over accrued interest expense by approximately $111,000, and it will record an adjustment to its expenses for that amount in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The settlement agreement may be subject to a review by the Joint Committee on Taxation.
