Investment gains and losses on marketable securities may fluctuate significantly from period to period in the future and could have a significant impact on the Company's net earnings. However, the amount of investment gains or losses on marketable securities for any given period has no predictive value and variations in amount from period to period have no practical analytical value.

When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s amortized cost basis.

(a)Other investments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value per share (or its equivalent such as member units or an ownership interest in partners’ capital to which a proportionate share of net assets is attributed, “NAV”). This class primarily consists of private equity funds that have varying investment focus. These investments can never be redeemed with the funds. Instead, the nature of the investments in this class is that distributions are received through the liquidation of the underlying assets of the fund. If these investments were held it is estimated that the underlying assets of the fund would be liquidated over 5 to 10 years. As of September 30, 2016, it is probable that all investments in this class will be sold at an amount different from the NAV of the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital. Therefore, the fair values of the investments in this class have been estimated using recent observable information such as audited financial statements and/or statements of partners’ capital obtained directly from investees on a quarterly or other regular basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company received distributions of approximately $827,000 from this type of investment primarily from investments in diversified businesses and real estate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made contributions totaling approximately $1.7 million in this type of investment. As of September 30, 2016, the amount of the Company’s unfunded commitments related to the aforementioned investments is approximately $2 million.

(b)Other investments above which are measured on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 unobservable inputs consist of investments primarily in commercial real estate in Florida through private partnerships and two investments in the stock of private banks in Florida and Texas. The Company does not know when it will have the ability to redeem the investments and has categorized them as a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Level 3 real estate and related investments of approximately $95,000 include various investments in real estate and related. Investments in this category are measured using primarily inputs provided by the managing member of the partnerships with whom the Company has done similar transactions in the past and is well known to management. The fair values of these real estate investments have been estimated using the net asset value of the Company’s ownership interest in partners’ capital. The other Level 3 investments include investments in private bank stocks and a reinsurance company. The fair values of these other Level 3 investments have been estimated using the cost method less distributions received and other than temporary impairments. This investment is valued using inputs provided by the management of the investee.

The following table includes a roll-forward of the investments classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:

  Level 3 Investments: 
Balance at January 1, 2016 $733,000 
Distributions from Level 3 investments, net of gains  (3,000)
Balance at September 30, 2016 $730,000 

7.INCOME TAXES

The Company (excluding its taxable REIT subsidiary CII) as a qualifying real estate investment trust (“REIT”) distributes its taxable ordinary income to stockholders in conformity with requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and is not required to report deferred items due to its ability to distribute all taxable income. In addition, net operating losses can be carried forward to reduce future taxable income but cannot be carried back.

 

The Company’s 95%-owned taxable REIT subsidiary, CII, files a separate income tax return and its operations are not included in the REIT’s income tax return.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”.Taxes.” ASC Topic 740 requires a Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of “temporary differences” by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred income taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred taxes only pertain to CII. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, and December 31, 2015,2016, the Company has recorded a net deferred tax liability of $217,000 because$76,000 as a result of timing differences associated with the carrying value of the investment in affiliate (TGIF) and other investments. CII’s NOL carryover to 20172018 is estimated at $1 million expiring beginning in 20222028 and has been partiallyfully reserved due to CII historically having tax losses.

 

The provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income consists of the following:

The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with ASC Topic 740, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This topic also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended December 31, 2015.2016. The Company’s federal income tax returns since 20122013 are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service, generally for a period of three years after the returns were filed.

 

We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the consolidated financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense.

 

8.STOCK OPTIONS

OnDuring the six months ended June 30, 2016 the Company granted options to purchase 12,500 shares of the Company’s common stock to three directors and one officer. The exercise price of the options is equal to $9.31 per share, the market price of the stock on the date of grant and the options expires on June 29, 2021. The Company determined the fair value of its option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions2017 there were used to value theno options granted, during the nine months ended September 30, 2016: 5 year expected life; expected volatility of approximately 39%; risk-free of .45% and annual dividend yield of 4%. The expected life for options granted during the period represents the period of time that options are to be outstanding based on the expiration date of the Plan. Expected volatilities are based upon historical volatility of the Company’s stock over a period equal to the 5 year expected life.exercised, expired or forfeited.
