During the year ended December 31, 2015, we released $1.8 million of our valuation allowance as a result of
acquisitions. Deferred tax liabilities were established for the book-tax basis difference related to acquired intangible assets. The
net deferred tax liabilities provided an additional source of income to support the realizability of pre-existing deferred tax
assets.
At December€31, 2015, we had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $613.0 million and tax credit
carryforwards of approximately $9.7 million. If realized, approximately $377.0 million of the net operating loss carryforwards
will be recognized as a benefit through additional paid in capital. The federal net operating losses and tax credits expire in years
beginning in 2021. At December€31, 2015, we had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $480.0 million
which expire in years beginning in 2016. In addition, we had state tax credit carryforwards of approximately $10.7 million that
do not expire and approximately $4.9 million of credits that will expire beginning in 2024.
