For financial reporting purposes, with the exception of the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company has incurred a loss in each year since inception. Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011. The net change in the valuation allowance was $3,004,000 and $2,364,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $47 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards and approximately $16 million of California state net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income. The federal loss carry forward will begin to expire in 2018 and the California state loss carry forward will began to expire in 2013. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not utilize any of its federal or California net operating losses. Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amounts of benefits from net operating loss carryforwards may be impaired or limited if the Company incurs a cumulative ownership change of more than 50%, as defined, over a three-year period.
 
At December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $1 million of federal research and development tax credits that will begin to expire in 2018.
