We have federal net operating loss carry forwards at June 30, 2014 and 2013 in the amount of $2,556,000 and $1,701,000, respectively, which begin to expire in 2034. State net operating loss carry forwards at June 30, 2014 and 2013 amount to $6,339,000 and $6,134,000, respectively, and begin to expire in 2025. Federal tax credit carry forwards at June 30, 2014 and 2013 amount to $884,000 and $867,000, respectively, and begin to expire in 2027. State tax credit carry forwards at June 30, 2014 and 2013 amount to $559,000 and $514,000, respectively, the majority of which do not expire.

Significant management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and the recoverability of our deferred tax asset. Such determination is based primarily on our historical taxable income, with some consideration given to our estimates of future taxable income by jurisdictions in which we operate and the period over which our deferred tax assets will be recoverable. Due to cumulative taxable losses in recent years, we have maintained a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets at June 30, 2014 and 2013, information related to which is as follows (in thousands):

		Valuation Allowance
Balance at July 1, 2013	$	(3,439	)
Increase in deferred tax asset valuation allowance		(70	)
Balance at January 31, 2014	$	(3,509	)

As of June 30, 2014, we have accrued $363,000 of unrecognized tax benefits related to federal and state income tax matters. The amount that would reduce the Company’s income tax expense if recognized and result in a corresponding decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate is $47,000.

Information with respect to our accrual for unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (in thousands):

Balance at July 1, 2013	$	347
Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		21
Reductions for tax positions of prior years		(5	)
Balance at June 30, 2014	$	363

We recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense when applicable. As of June 30, 2014, no interest or penalties applicable to our unrecognized tax benefits have been accrued since we have sufficient tax attributes available to fully offset any potential assessment of additional tax.

We are subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of multiple state tax jurisdictions. We are currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended June 30, 2011 and later. Our state income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended June 30, 2010 and later. We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
