Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2013, is as follows (in thousands):

Beginning balance at January 1, 2013	$	41
Additions for tax positions related to the current period		23
Ending balance at September 30, 2013	$	64

At September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, the Company had net deferred tax assets that were fully offset by a valuation allowance, as management believes that it is not more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of the deductible differences. The deferred tax asset is principally due to net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $446 million for federal and $40 million for state tax purposes. The majority of these net operating loss carryforwards will expire, if unused, between 2013 and 2021.

- Definition

Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.
