 impact on future real estate values, the Company concluded that the U.K. deferred tax asset did not meet the more likely than not threshold of being realizable. Therefore, a full valuation allowance was recorded against the UK deferred tax asset. As the economic environment in the UK real estate market is still uncertain and highly depended on numerous general economic factors, including but not limited to rising interest rates, foreign currency fluctuations, inflation, etc, the Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against its UK Basis Step-Up deferred tax asset.

As a significant portion of the excess tax basis would only reverse upon a strengthening of foreign currencies or upon a disposition of KWE, the Company determined that a valuation allowance of $98.3 million was required for the tax basis that was in excess of the Company’s carrying value for its investment in KWE as it did not meet the more likely than not recognition threshold.
