Income Taxes


Based on the evidence available as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize its deferred tax assets. Based on this conclusion, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its entire net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company's effective tax rate is close to 0% due to the valuation allowance recorded against the deferred tax assets.


The Company recognizes tax benefits in accordance with the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes guidance.  This guidance establishes a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold that must be met before a tax benefit can be recognized in the financial statements.  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the total gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $1.0 million.
