BASIS OF PRESENTATION	2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2017, the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in their combined 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2017. The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 contains a discussion of our significant accounting policies under Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies". There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2016. Management discusses our significant accounting policies and management’s judgments and estimates with the Company's Audit Committee. Reclassifications During the first quarter of 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which requires the Company to reclassify employer tax payments on account of employee tax withholdings on share-based awards from operating activities to financing activities. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2016-09, there was no guidance on the classification of cash paid by an employer to the taxing authorities when directly withholding shares for tax withholding purposes. As a result of the adoption, a $0.3 million cash outflow has been reclassified in the March 31, 2016 consolidated statements of cash flows from operating activities to financing activities. There was no other impact from the adoption of this guidance. During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”), which clarifies that debt prepayment costs should be presented as financing activities in the statement of cash flows. As a result of the adoption, $53.4 million was reclassified in the consolidated statements of cash flows from the operating activities section to the financing activities section of the consolidated statements of cash flows, within the “Repayment of mortgage notes payable” caption, for the three-months period ended March 31, 2016. There was no other impact from the adoption of this guidance. Recent Accounting Pronouncements On February 22, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05 (“ASU 2017-05) to provide guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets and in-substance non-financial assets in contracts with non-customers, unless other specific guidance applies. The standard requires a company to derecognize nonfinancial assets once it transfers control of a distinct nonfinancial asset or distinct in substance nonfinancial asset. Additionally, when a company transfers its controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, but retains a noncontrolling ownership interest, the company is required to measure any non-controlling interest it receives or retains at fair value. The guidance requires companies to recognize a full gain or loss on the transaction. As a result of the new guidance, the guidance specific to real estate sales in ASC 360-20 will be eliminated. As such, sales and partial sales of real estate assets will now be subject to the same derecognition model as all other nonfinancial assets. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The effective date of this guidance coincides with revenue recognition guidance. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance and on its consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to utilize the modified retrospective approach. On January 5, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01 (“ASU 2017-01”) to amend the guidance for determining whether a transaction involves the purchase or disposal of a business or an asset. The amendments clarify that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar assets, the set of assets and activities is not a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted for transactions which have not been previously reported in financial statements that have been issued. The Company adopted the guidance on the issuance date effective January 2017. The Company expects that most of its real estate acquisitions will be considered asset acquisitions under the new guidance and that transaction costs will be capitalized to the investment basis which is then subject to a purchase price allocation based on relative fair value.
