Deferred tax assets: |  |  |  |  |

Deferred tax assets at December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are attributable to the inclusion of deferred revenue on Observatory admission ticket sales not redeemed at year-end in determining income for tax reporting purposes. No valuation allowance has been recorded against the deferred tax asset because the Company believes that the deferred tax asset will, more likely than not, be realized. This determination is based on the Observatory TRS’s anticipated future taxable income and the reversal of the deferred tax asset. At December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the TRS entities have no amount of unrecognized tax benefits. For tax years 2016, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the United States federal and state tax returns are open for examination.
