Rental revenue from real estate held for investment is recognized when it is earned, generally on the last day of each month or at another regular period agreed upon by the Company and the tenant. Tenants generally provide a security deposit at the time of possession. This deposit is held separately from revenue and only applied to revenue when rental payment comparable to the security deposit amount is not No Revenue from real estate held for resale is recognized upon closing of the sale (transfer of control), as all conditions for full revenue recognition have been met at that time.

Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

In periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share because the impact of all potentially dilutive common shares is anti-dilutive. In periods of net income, diluted earnings per share is computed using the more dilutive of the “two class method” or the “treasury method.” Dilutive earnings per share under the “two class method” is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders as adjusted for the participating securities, by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all other potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares underlying common stock equity incentives. Dilutive earnings per share under the “treasury method” are calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive impact of all potentially dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of common shares underlying common stock equity incentives.
