Income Taxes

The Company’s TRSs are subject to federal and state income taxes.

The components of income tax expense for the following periods are as follows (in thousands):



	For the three months ended				For the six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Federal	$	152	$	16	$	152	$	16
State	27		9		27		9
Tax expense	$	179	$	25	$	179	$	25

As of each reporting date, the Company's management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact management's view with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets. As of June 30, 2016, management determined that sufficient positive evidence exists to conclude that it is more likely than not that the additional deferred taxes of $299 will be realizable against the current period's earnings, and therefore, released the related valuation allowance in accordance with GAAP for intraperiod tax allocation.
