(10) Income Taxes

As of December 31, 2013, the Company lacked a history of earnings that would allow it to record any of its net deferred tax assets without a corresponding valuation allowance. Using the same methodology, and updating the earnings history based on actual earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company is unable to reduce its valuation allowance. Therefore, no net deferred tax asset is reflected as of June 30, 2014. Additionally, due to some of its historical acquisitions which included indefinite lived intangibles, the Company continues to accumulate a deferred tax liability which is recorded outside the net deferred tax asset and valuation allowance. This deferred tax liability increased by $44,731 and $89,462 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. The Company recorded a similar amount of deferred tax expense. The Company records no current income tax expense related to its domestic activities due to historical or current net operating losses. Current tax expense of $212,921 and $491,921 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 has been recorded based on the Company's activities in certain foreign jurisdictions which are currently profitable and no loss carryover is available to offset the income.

(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.

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.
