(11) Income Taxes

The income tax expense from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 differs from the U.S statutory rate of 34% primarily due the Company's valuation allowance. The Company's income tax expense for 2013 and 2012 of $273,000 and $0, respectively reflect the valuation allowance established during 2012 followed by the current year tax expense related to operations in new tax jurisdictions due to asset acquisitions. The Company has fully reserved its net deferred tax assets in both years due to the uncertainty of future taxable income.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits, December 31, 2013	$	168,000

The Unrecognized Tax Benefits shown here relate to an ongoing audit of one entity acquired by the Company during 2013 in Spain. This audit is ongoing and is in dispute. It is reasonable that the Company's existing liability for Unrecognized Tax Benefits may increase or decrease within the next twelve months primarily due to resolution of this audit. The Company cannot reasonably estimate a range of potential changes in such benefits due to the unresolved nature of the Spanish audit.
