Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”). In accordance with SFAS No. 109, we record deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, which represent taxes to be settled or recovered in the future. We adjust our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities to reflect changes in tax rates or other statutory tax provisions. Changes in tax rates or other statutory provisions are recognized in the period the change occurs.

We make judgments in assessing our ability to realize future benefits from our deferred tax assets, which include operating and capital loss carryforwards. We believe that our earnings during the periods when the temporary differences become deductible will be sufficient to realize the related future tax benefits. Should we determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets, an adjustment would be made to the carrying amount through a valuation allowance.
 
Also, our net deductible temporary differences and tax carryforwards are recorded using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax liability or asset is expected to be settled or realized. At December 31, 2008, we have a net deferred tax liability of $31.4 million. Should the expected applicable tax rates change in the future, an adjustment to the net deferred tax liability would be credited or charged, as appropriate, to income in the period such determination was made. For example, an increase of 1.0% in our anticipated income tax rate would cause us to increase our net deferred tax liability balance by $765,000 with a corresponding charge to earnings.
 
We also assess differences between our tax bases, which are more likely than not to be realized, and the as-filed tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2005, we had contingent liabilities of $6.8 million recorded in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet related to such differences. During the first quarter of 2006, we determined that these contingencies no longer existed due to the outcome of an income tax audit and recognized a tax benefit of $6.8 million.
 
Effective January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition of income tax positions. We did not have any unrecognized tax benefits on either the effective date of the pronouncement or December 31, 2008.

j.  Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”). In accordance with SFAS No. 109, we record deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, which represent taxes to be recovered or settled in the future. We adjust our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities to reflect changes in tax rates or other statutory tax provisions. We make judgments in assessing our ability to realize future benefits from our deferred tax assets, which include operating and capital loss carryforwards. As such, we have a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets for the portion we believe will not be realized. Changes in tax rates or other statutory provisions are recognized in the period the change occurs.
 
We also assess differences between our probable tax bases and the as-filed tax bases of certain assets and liabilities. At December 31, 2005, we had contingent liabilities of $6.8 million recorded in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet related to such differences. During the first quarter of 2006, we determined that these contingencies no longer existed due to the outcome of an income tax audit and recognized a tax benefit of $6.8 million.
 
Effective January 1, 2007, we will be required to assess any uncertain tax positions using the recognition threshold and measurement attributes prescribed by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). Based on our current tax positions, we do not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See discussion of FIN 48 below under Note 2.u., New Accounting Standards.
