Total deferred tax assets87,357 78,744 
Valuation allowance(87,357)(78,744)
Net deferred tax assets$ $ 

The Company has established valuation allowances to fully offset its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty about the Company’s ability to generate the future taxable income necessary to realize these deferred assets, particularly in light of the Company’s historical losses. The future use of net operating loss carryforwards is dependent on the Company attaining profitable operations, and may be limited in any one year under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 due to significant
ownership changes, as defined under such Section, as a result of the Company’s equity financings. A summary of the valuation allowances are as follows:
Balances at June 30, 2017$101,031 
Reductions(24,901)
Balance at June 30, 201876,130 
Additions2,614 
Balance at June 30, 201978,744 
Additions8,613 
Balance at June 30, 2020$87,357 

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had federal tax net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $296,409 and $269,433, respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards are available to offset taxable income through 2037. The Company also had various state net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future state taxable income. These state net operating loss carryforwards typically have the same expirations as the Company’s federal tax net operating loss carryforwards.

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had approximately $5,039 and $4,314 of federal research and development credit carryforwards, respectively. As of June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had approximately $2,069 and $1,798 of state research and development credit carryforwards. The federal and state research and development credit carryforwards will expire through fiscal 2039 and 2034, respectively.

As required by ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes,” the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company recorded a liability relating to unrecognized tax benefits of $711 and $611 at June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Due to the Company having a full valuation allowance, this liability has been netted against the deferred tax asset. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax provisions as part of the provision for income taxes. The Company has not currently reserved for any interest or penalties for such reserves due to the Company being in an net operating loss position. The Company does not expect to recognize any benefits from the unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:
Balances at June 30, 2017$570 
Decreases related to prior year tax positions(3)
Increases related to current year tax positions30 
Balances at June 30, 2018597
