8. Income Taxes

Periodically, we perform assessments of the realization of our net deferred tax assets considering all available evidence, both positive and negative. A significant piece of evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2013. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for future growth. On the basis of this assessment, we recorded a charge of $23.2 million to income tax expense to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we continued to provide a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets generated during the quarter. As income is generated in future periods, the Company expects to reverse the valuation allowance as utilization of the deferred tax assets occurs.
