Note 11.  Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense relates principally to operating results of foreign entities in jurisdictions, primarily in Europe and Asia, where the Company earns taxable income. The Company has significant net operating losses in the United States and certain jurisdictions and, as a result, does not pay significant income taxes in those jurisdictions.

 

As of December 31, 2012 there was a valuation allowance of approximately $145 million.  The Company is in a three year cumulative loss position in the United States.  As a result, the Company maintains a 100% valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of the related deferred tax assets to zero.  The Company will continue to maintain a full valuation allowance for those tax assets until sustainable future levels of profitability are evident.
