Our business consists of the ownership and operation of income producing real estate properties in the greater Washington metro region. We own a diversified portfolio of commercial and multifamily buildings. During the 2019 Quarter (as defined below), we sold </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>eight</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> retail properties (see note </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">3</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">). These properties met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. The remaining retail properties do not meet the qualitative or quantitative criteria for a reportable segment (see note </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">11</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">). The acquisitions of multifamily properties and dispositions of retail properties are part of a strategic shift away from the retail sector to the multifamily sector. This strategic shift simplifies our portfolio to </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>two</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> reportable segments (office and multifamily) and reduces our exposure to future retail lease expirations.</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Federal Income Taxes</span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">We believe that we qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and intend to continue to qualify as such. To maintain our status as a REIT, we are, among other things, required to distribute </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>90%</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of our REIT taxable income (which is, generally, our ordinary taxable income, with certain modifications), excluding any net capital gains and any deductions for dividends paid to our shareholders on an annual basis. When selling a property, we generally have the option of (a) reinvesting the sales proceeds of property sold, in a way that allows us to defer recognition of some or all taxable gain realized on the sale, (b) distributing gains to the shareholders with no tax to us or (c) treating net long-term capital gains as having been distributed to our shareholders, paying the tax on the gain deemed distributed and allocating the tax paid as a credit to our shareholders. </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>Seven</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> of the </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>eight</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> retail properties sold during the 2019 Quarter were identified for deferred exchanges under Section 1031 of the Code (see note 3). We acquired </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>eight</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> multifamily replacement properties (see note 3) during the 2019 Period (as defined below). </span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br/></span></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">Generally, and subject to our ongoing qualification as a REIT, no provisions for income taxes are necessary except for taxes on undistributed taxable income and taxes on the income generated by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Our TRSs are subject to corporate federal and state income tax on their taxable income at regular statutory rates, or as calculated under the alternative minimum tax, as appropriate. As of both </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 30, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, our TRSs had a deferred tax asset of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$1.4 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> that was fully reserved. As of both </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">September 30, 2019</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">December 31, 2018</span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">, we had deferred state and local tax liabilities of </span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><span>$0.6 million</span></span><span style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">. These deferred tax liabilities are primarily related to temporary differences in the timing of the recognition of revenue, depreciation and amortization.</span></div>
