RESTRICTED DEPOSITS

RESTRICTED DEPOSITS

In order to qualify for like-kind exchange (“LKE”) treatment, the proceeds from real estate sales must be deposited with a third-party intermediary. These proceeds are accounted for as restricted cash until a suitable replacement property is acquired. In the event LKE purchases are not completed, the proceeds are returned to the Company after 180 days and reclassified as available cash. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $21.6 million and $68.9 million, respectively, of proceeds from real estate sales classified as restricted cash within Other Assets, which were deposited with an LKE intermediary.
