At December 31, 2008, we had federal, state and foreign net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) of
approximately $10 million, $53 million and $70 million. If not utilized, the federal and state NOLs will expire
at various times between 2009 and 2028, $65 million foreign NOLs can be carried forward indefinitely, and
$5 million foreign NOLs will expire at various times between 2009 and 2028.
At December 31, 2008, we had a valuation allowance of approximately $32 million related to the portion
of net operating loss carryforwards and other items for which it is more likely than not that the tax benefit
will not be realized. This amount represented an increase of approximately $4 million over the amount
recorded as of December 31, 2007 and was primarily attributable to an increase in foreign operating losses.
