Holdings files a consolidated federal income tax return with its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $76,748 and $79,040, respectively.

We estimate Holdings' annual effective tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2014 will be 39.0%. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was 45.0% due to the impact of the loss on the change in fair value of the derivative related to the share repurchase agreement.

As of March 31, 2014, there remained a valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets of $7,699 that were not likely to be realized due to certain state net operating loss limitations and acquired net operating losses that we were not more likely than not going to utilize.

The increased ownership in us by Liberty Media to over 50% of our outstanding common stock did not create a change of control under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
