write offs
if you don't know when you buy a company or start a new division. you can write off your loses for 5 years at a larger amount. and that is what they have been doing. now it is coming to the end of the 5 years and that is why they bought the container company and the logistic company for another 5 years of write offs. if they didn't have these write offs they would get slammed with more money to pay on taxes.
