[1] In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the corresponding debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. As a result, the carrying amounts presented in the table above are net of deferred financing costs of $4.7 million and $5.5 million for unsecured notes payable, $1.7 million and $1.9 million for variable rate debt and $0.6 million and $0.7 million for mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

[2] The inputs to originate the note receivable are unobservable and, as a result, are categorized as Level 3. The Company determined fair value by calculating the present value of the cash payments to be received through the maturity date of the loan. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 for further information regarding the note origination.
