The Company maintains a valuation allowance of approximately $12.7 million, as of September 30, 2013, for substantially all of its deferred tax assets, including its U.S. net operating losses, and therefore does not expect to incur a current U.S. federal tax expense or benefit against its pretax income during the year ending December 31, 2013. The Company does, however, expect to incur current state and foreign tax expense during the year. In addition, the Company expects to incur deferred U.S. federal and state tax expense in 2013, representing a deferred tax liability related to the difference between tax and book accounting for its goodwill, which is amortized over 15 years for tax purposes but not amortized for book purposes.

The Company’s ability to realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets in future periods will depend on the generation of taxable income through profitable operations. Due to the Company’s history of losses and the lack of sufficient certainty of generating future taxable income, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against substantially all of its deferred tax assets. The Company does not expect to reduce the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to below 100% of its gross amount until it has a sufficient historical trend of taxable income and can predict future income with a higher degree of certainty.
