REIT status imposes limitations related to operating assisted-living properties. Generally, to qualify as a REIT, we cannot directly operate assisted-living facilities. However, such facilities may generally be operated by a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) pursuant to a lease with the Company. Therefore, we have formed Master HC TRS, LLC (“Master TRS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of HC Operating Partnership, LP, to lease any assisted-living properties we acquire and to operate the assisted-living properties pursuant to contracts with unaffiliated management companies. Master TRS and the Company have made the applicable election for Master TRS to qualify as a TRS. Under the management contracts, the management companies have direct control of the daily operations of these assisted-living properties.</font><font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></font></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">  </font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></font></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Each TRS is a tax paying component for purposes of classifying deferred tax assets and liabilities. We record net deferred tax assets to the extent we believe these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize our deferred income tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, we would establish a valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes.</font></div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> </font> </div> <div style="clear:both; FONT-FAMILY:Times New Roman;FONT-SIZE: 10pt;LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The Master TRS recognized a $<font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt">0.1</font> million benefit and a $<font style=" FONT-SIZE: 10pt">0.1</font> million expense for Federal and State income taxes in the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and a $0.2 million benefit and a $0.1 million expense for Federal and State income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which have been recorded in general and administrative expenses. Net deferred tax assets related to the TRS entities totaled approximately $1.9 million at June 30, 2013 and $1.3 million at December 31, 2012, respectively, related primarily to book and tax basis differences for straight-line rent and accrued liabilities. Realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent in part upon generating sufficient taxable income in future periods. These deferred tax assets are included in deferred costs and other assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have not recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2013 as we have determined that the future projected taxable income from the operations of the TRS entities are sufficient to cover the additional future expenses resulting from these book tax differences.</font></div> </div> falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for income taxes.
