Staff Q&A, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic
In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a document titled Staff Q&A, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic ("FASB Q&A document"). The FASB Q&A document provides an election whereby an entity is not required to evaluate whether certain relief provided by a lessor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is a lease modification (the "COVID-19 election"). An entity that makes this election can then either apply the modification guidance to that relief or account for the concession as if it were contemplated as part of the existing contract. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. The Company's adoption and application of the COVID-19 election has been included in "Note 3. Revenue Recognition".
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
StandardDescriptionDate of adoptionEffect on the financial statements or other significant matters
ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement
ASU No. 2018-13 is intended to improve the effectiveness of the disclosures required by Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement by eliminating, amending, or adding certain disclosures. Certain amendments require a prospective transition method, while others require a retrospective transition method.
January 2020The Company adopted the amendments of ASU No. 2018-13 on the applicable basis required, either prospective or retrospective. The standard only impacts fair value measurement disclosures, and therefore did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference
Rate Reform on Financial Reporting		ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide optional guidance for a limited period of
time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of)
reference rate reform on financial reporting.

Topic 848 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. Application of these expedients, which may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur, preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. 		January 2020The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-04 and has elected to apply, as of January 1, 2020, the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives.

The Company is continuing to evaluate this
guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. The Company expects the application of Topic 848 to assist in preserving the Company's presentation of derivatives as cash flow hedges.
Other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed in the foregoing table have been excluded because they are either not relevant to the Company, or are not expected to have, or did not have, a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Revenue Recognition, Operating Leases
Operating Leases
The majority of revenue recognized from the Company's retail properties is comprised of fixed and variable consideration received from tenants under long-term operating leases with varying terms. Fixed consideration generally consists of minimum lease payments for the rental of retail space while the variable consideration generally consists of reimbursements of the tenant's pro rata share of certain operating expenses incurred by the Company, including real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees and certain capital repairs. Certain other tenants are subject to net leases whereby the tenant is responsible for fixed minimum lease payments to the Company, as well as directly paying all costs and expenses associated with occupancy to third party service providers. Such direct payments to third parties are not recorded as revenue and expense by the Company.
