A reconciliation of our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate is as follows:
|  | For the year ended December 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |  | 2010 |

Effective tax rate |  |  | 0.3% |  |  | 0.2% |  |  | 0.3% |
Deferred income tax balances reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and the amounts used for income tax purposes and are stated at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Significant components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:
|  | For the year ended December 31, |
--- | --- | --- | ---
|  | 2012 |  | 2011 |
Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Deferred revenue |  | $ | 2,169 |  | $ | 489 |
Tax loss carryforwards |  |  | 1,751 |  |  | 241 |
|  |  | 3,920 |  |  | 730 |
Valuation allowance |  |  | (3,814 | ) |  | (617 | )
|  |  | 106 |  |  | 113 |
Deferred tax liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Depreciable assets |  |  | (106 | ) |  | (113 | )
|  |  | — |  |  | — |
Net deferred income taxes |  | $ | — |  | $ | — |
Deferred tax liabilities are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Because of our TRSs' short operating history and the uncertainty surrounding our ability to realize the future benefit of these assets, we have provided a 100% valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 and 2011. If and when we believe it is more likely than not that we will recover our deferred tax assets, we will reverse the valuation allowance as an income tax benefit in our consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2012, our consolidated TRSs had net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $4,502, which if unused, begin to expire in 2031.
