Tax benefits arising on intra-group transfers of long-term assets arose from transactions between controlled entities in respect of two vessels, the Gimi and Hilli that generated a permanent tax benefit for us. The tax benefits are being amortized through the tax line of the statement of operations over the remaining useful lives of the vessels (see note 11).
