(9)Income Tax

The income tax provision for the six months endedJune 30, 2012 reflects a tax benefit of$0.8 million for the current period loss. Unrecognized tax benefits increased $0.4million during the six months endedJune 30, 2012, and the increase, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

The Company had recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of $20.5 millionand $10.8 million relating to the difference between its book and tax basis of its investment in the Partnership as of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2012, respectively.Because the Company can only realize this deferred tax asset upon liquidation of the Partnership and to the extent of capital gains, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset and the related valuation allowance decreased by $9.7 million during the second quarter of 2012 due to the Partnership's issuance of common units.
