Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 ("2013 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2013 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2013 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2013 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2013 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In order to conform with GAAP, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and our cash flows for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, "Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" ("ASU 2014-08"). ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied prospectively to new disposals and new classifications of disposal groups as held for sale after the effective date. Upon adoption, we anticipate the disposition of properties, as well as the classification of properties held for sale, will generally no longer meet the guidance to be classified as discontinued operations.
