14. Income Taxes

With the early prepayment of working capital loans by Prime and the impairment of the Monroe loan in 2010 as more fully described in Note 3, we did not believe that one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries would generate enough taxable income to use the federal and state net operating losses within the carry-forward period specified by law. Therefore, in the 2010 second quarter, we fully reserved for the $1.5 million deferred tax asset, of which $1.2 million relates to discontinued operations. We continue to monitor this valuation allowance and if circumstances change (such as new loans or other transactions), we will adjust this valuation allowance accordingly.
