Interim Financial Reporting

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the calendar year ending December 31, 2019.  For further information refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Change in Use of Hedge Accounting

On March 1, 2019 the Company discontinued its use of hedge accounting on its interest rate swaps related to Secured borrowings, while retaining hedge accounting for swaps related to Unsecured borrowings. See NOTE 6 for additional information regarding how the Company accounts for its use of derivative instruments (“Derivatives”) and its related risk management policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) which requires entities who are lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability arising from those leases on the balance sheet. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, which had no material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
