The valuation allowance increased by $9.8 million and $12.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $184.1 million for federal income tax purposes and approximately $116.5 million for state income tax purposes. These losses are available to reduce future taxable income and expire at various times from 2017 through 2036. Approximately $5.7 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards and $4.8 million of state net operating loss carryforwards are related to excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation and would be charged to additional paid-in capital, if realized. The Company also had federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of approximately $8.8 million, which will begin expiring in 2018, and California research and development credits of approximately $7.8 million, which do not have an expiration date. The Company had remaining foreign tax credits available for federal income tax purposes of approximately $0.3 million, which will began expiring in 2017. Utilization of the Company’s net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC); and similar state provisions. Section 382 of the IRC (Section 382) imposes limitations on a corporation’s ability to utilize its NOLs, if it experiences an “ownership change.” In general terms, an ownership change may result from transactions increasing the ownership percentage of certain stockholders in the stock of the corporation by more than 50% over a three year period. In the event of an ownership change, utilization of the NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation under Section 382 determined by multiplying the value of the Company’s stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax exempt rate. The Company has not completed a Section 382 study in recent years; however, should a study be completed, certain NOLs may be subject to such limitations. Any future annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOLs before utilization. The Company considers its undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiary permanently reinvested in foreign operations and has not provided for U.S. income taxes on such earnings. As of December 31, 2016, the Company’s unremitted earnings from its foreign subsidiary were $1.0 million. The determination of the unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability, if any, is not practicable. A reconciliation of income taxes provided at the federal statutory rate (35%) to the actual income tax provision follows (in thousands):
