 operating losses for which a portion will have an indefinite carryforward period.Additionally, the Company has deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) related to its investment in UBH that will not reverse in the ordinary course of business and will only reverse when UBH is sold or liquidated. The Company has no intention of disposing of or liquidating UBH and therefore has not considered the indefinite lived DTL as a source of income to offset other DTAs. In weighing positive and negative evidence, both objective and subjective, including its twelve-quarter cumulative loss, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against its DTAs related to net operating losses and deductible book/tax differences and recorded a DTL primarily related to the book over tax basis in the investment in UBH that will not reverse in the ordinary course of business. The Company considered that an indefinite lived DTL may be considered as a source of taxable income for an indefinite lived DTA; however, given our indefinite lived DTL will only reverse upon sale or liquidation, the Company determined that it was more appropriate to record a valuation allowance against a portion of its DTAs. The amount of DTAs considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced or increased or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight is given to subjective evidence such as projections for growth.
