Income Taxes [Abstract] |
Income Taxes | Note 14. Income Taxes We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC topic 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) which requires that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between the book and tax bases of recorded assets and liabilities. ASC 740 also requires that deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2013, we do not have any gross unrecognized tax benefits, nor accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2012, we had $16.4 million for unrecognized tax benefits. Of this amount, none was accounted for as a reduction to the balance of retained earnings. No material changes have occurred in our tax position taken as of December 31, 2012 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various states and foreign jurisdictions. We have substantially concluded all U.S. federal and state income tax matters through December 31, 2012. Provision for income taxes for three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was mostly related to our China subsidiary and our China joint venture operations. We have made a tax election in China whereby certain minimum foreign withholding taxes are treated as an expense and not a tax credit. Besides the state tax liabilities, no federal income tax benefit or expense has been provided for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to our net loss. No federal income tax benefit or expense has been provided for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to our valuation allowance being utilized and the uncertainty of future profits in the U.S.
