The realized currency translation gains are primarily the result of substantial liquidations of certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company wrote off its loan to The Show because The Show was not meeting forecasted projections, with no expectation to perform as represented when acquired. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate repayment of its loan by The Show.
