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 consist solely of normal recurring matters, and result in a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2018, the results of its operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 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 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018.

The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 contains a discussion of our significant accounting policies under Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies". Other than the adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), and ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash (Topic 230), there have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2017. Management discusses our significant accounting policies and management’s judgments and estimates with the Company's Audit Committee.

Out of Period Adjustment

The Company recorded $1.2 million of impairment charges during the quarter ended December 31, 2016, which should have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2017. Management concluded that these misstatements were not material to any prior period, nor were they material to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Reclassifications and Adoption of New Accounting Guidance

Through the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, the Company included $0.8 million and $1.0 million of income tax benefit in general and administrative expenses, respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company began disaggregating our income tax provision/benefit in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result, in the statements of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, included herein, the Company reclassified $0.8 million and $1.0 million of net income tax benefit out of general and administrative expenses into the “Income tax (provision) benefit” caption in the consolidated statements of operations to provide comparative presentation.

During the first quarter of 2018, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) ASU No. 2016-18, which requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts described as restricted cash or cash equivalents. Beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows should include restricted cash, cash equivalents and amounts described as restricted cash or cash equivalents. The guidance does not define restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company had $0.8 million and $1.3 million of restricted cash, respectively, on its consolidated balance sheets within the caption ‘Other assets.’ As a result of the adoption of this ASU, restricted cash balances are included with cash and cash equivalents balances as of the beginning and end of each period presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Separate line items reconciling changes in restricted cash balances to the changes in cash and cash equivalents will no longer be presented within the operating and investing sections of the consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-18, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2017 operating cash flows increased by $0.6 million, which is reflected within the change in other assets caption.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under Topic 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services and is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for such goods or services. In addition, Topic 606 requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

The Company adopted Topic 606 in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. This adoption, which required us to evaluate incomplete contracts as of January 1, 2018, related to the Company’s point of sale revenue, management, leasing and development fee arrangements and other sundry income. The Company’s analysis of incomplete contracts resulted in no restatement of the consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations presented in its consolidated financial statements. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606. The new guidance provides a unified model to determine how revenue is recognized. To determine the proper amount of revenue to be recognized, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations within the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied.

The following is a summary of revenue earned by the Company’s reportable segments (see Note 12, “Segment Information,” for further information) during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 (in thousands):

Corporate includes intercompany eliminations necessary to reconcile to consolidated Company totals.

Rental Revenue

The Company owns, operates and manages commercial real estate. Rental revenue is earned by leasing commercial space to the Company’s tenants. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. The Company’s primary source of revenue is leases which fall under the scope of Leases (Topic 840).

Point of Sale Revenue

Point of sale revenue consists of parking and flexible stay revenue from the Company’s hotel operations. Point of sale service obligations are performed daily, and the customer obtains control of those services simultaneously as they are performed. Accordingly, revenue is recorded on an accrual basis as it is earned, coinciding with the services that are provided to the Company’s customers. Due to the nature of the services provided to the Company’s customers, there is a nominal amount of unearned revenue recorded as deposits on the Company’s balance sheet related to its parking and flexible stay operations.

Tenant Reimbursements

The Company contracts with third-party vendors and suppliers for goods and services to fulfill certain of the Company’s obligations to tenants. The Company is reimbursed by tenants for these goods and services in the period that the expenses are incurred based on the terms of the lease agreements with each tenant.

Third party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing

The Company performs property management services for third-party property owners of real estate that consist of: (i) providing leasing services, (ii) property inspections, (iii) repairs and maintenance monitoring, and (iv) financial and accounting oversight. For these services, the Company earns management fees monthly, which are based on a fixed percentage of each managed property’s financial results, and is reimbursed for the labor costs incurred by its property management employees as services are rendered to the property owners. The Company determined that control over the services is passed to its customers simultaneously as performance occurs. Accordingly, management fee revenue is earned as the services are provided to the Company’s customers.

Lease commissions are earned when the Company, as a broker for the third party property owner, executes a lease agreement with a tenant. Based on the terms of the Company’s lease commission contracts, it determined that control is transferred to the customer upon execution of each lease agreement. The Company’s lease commissions are earned based on a fixed percentage of rental income generated for each executed lease agreement and there is no variable income component.

Development fee revenue is earned through two different sources: (i) the Company performs development services for third parties as agent and earns fixed development fees based on a percentage of construction costs incurred over the construction period, and (ii) the Company acts as a general contractor on behalf of one of its managed real estate ventures. The Company acts as the principal construction company for the real estate venture and records gross revenue as it provides construction services based on the quantifiable construction outputs.

In applying the cost based output method of revenue recognition, the Company uses the actual costs incurred relative to the total estimated costs to determine its progress towards contract completion and to calculate the corresponding gross revenue and gross profit to recognize. For any costs that do not contribute to satisfying the Company’s performance obligations, it excludes such costs from its output methods of revenue recognition as the amounts are not reflective of transferring control of the outputs to the customer. The use of estimates in this calculation involves significant judgment.

Other Income

Other income primarily consists of sundry revenue earned for services provided to tenants. Sundry revenues are recognized simultaneously with the services provided to the Company’s tenants.

Contract assets and contract liabilities

As of September 30, 2018, the Company has no outstanding assets or liabilities associated with the Company’s third party management contracts.

Nonfinancial Assets

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, Gains and losses from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets (ASC 610-20), to provide guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets and in-substance nonfinancial 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, a company is required to measure any noncontrolling 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 previous guidance specific to real estate sales within ASC 360-20 will be eliminated.

The Company adopted ASU 2017-05 in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective method. This adoption requires the Company to analyze incomplete contracts related to property dispositions previously accounted for under ASC 360-20 and to determine whether such arrangements had any forms of continuing involvement that may have affected the revenue or profit recognition of the transactions, including arrangements with prohibited forms of continuing involvement. The Company evaluated the following incomplete contracts to determine if the revenue recognition pattern was affected by ASU 2017-05:

Garza Land Sales

On July 1, 2016, the Company closed on the acquisition of 34.6 acres of land located in Austin, Texas known as the Garza Ranch, for a purchase price of $20.6 million. As of September 30, 2018, the Company sold three parcels containing 8.4 acres, 1.7 acres and 6.6 acres to three unaffiliated third parties. Two of the land parcels were sold to third party developers on January 30, 2017 and April 28, 2017 and the third land parcel was sold to a third party on March 16, 2018. In connection with the agreements of sale, the Company entered into a development agreement and related completion guarantee to construct certain infrastructure improvements to the land. These improvement costs were included in the sale price of each land parcel. Due to the completion guarantee, the Company did not transfer control to the buyers of the land parcels and recognition of the sale was deferred until the improvements were substantially complete. The cash received at settlement was recorded as “Deferred income, gains and rent” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, the infrastructure improvements were substantially completed. As a result, the Company transferred control of the land parcels to the buyers and recognized the land sales. Accordingly, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company applied the cash proceeds received from the settlements of each parcel and recognized an aggregate $2.8 million deferred gain. There was no activity or gain recognized during the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. The following table details the gain on sale for each land parcel, as of September 30, 2018 (dollars, in thousands):

Based on the facts and circumstances, revenue recognition under ASU 2017-05 coincides with the Company’s conclusion under ASC 360-20, and no restatement of the consolidated financial statements is necessary as a result of implementing the guidance for the sale of nonfinancial assets.

Marine Piers Sublease Interest Sale

On March 15, 2017, the Company sold its sublease interest in the Piers at Penn’s Landing (the “Marine Piers”), which includes leasehold improvements containing 181,900 net rentable square feet, and a marina, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for an aggregate sales price of $21.4 million. On the closing date, the buyer paid $12.0 million in cash and the Company received cash proceeds of $11.2 million, after closing costs and prorations. The $9.4 million balance of the purchase is due on (a) January 31, 2020, in the event that the tenant at the Marine Piers does not exercise an option it holds to extend the term of the sublease or (b) January 15, 2024, in the event that the tenant does exercise the option to extend the term of the sublease. In accordance with ASU 2017-05, the Company determined that it is appropriate to recognize the sale of the sublease interest in the Marine Piers and to defer the amount of the pending payment due from the buyer because the Company cannot determine the collectability of the remaining $9.4 million balance due under the purchase and sale agreement. The net book value of the Marine Piers was $4.7 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $6.5 million. The remaining gain on sale of $9.4 million arising from the pending payment will be recognized at the earlier of: (i) the time that the Company determines collection of the deferred payment is probable or (ii) on the second purchase price installment date. Based on the facts and circumstances, revenue recognition under ASU 2017-05 coincides with the Company’s previous conclusion under ASC 360-20, and therefore no restatement of the consolidated financial statements is necessary as a result of implementing the guidance for the sale of nonfinancial assets.

Subaru National Training Center

On December 3, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement to construct an 83,000 square foot build-to-suit service center (the “Subaru NSTC Development”) on land parcels owned by the Company for Subaru as the single tenant. Concurrently, Subaru entered into an 18-year lease for the service center. The lease is classified as a direct finance lease within the “Other assets” caption on the consolidated balance sheets. The lease contained a purchase option, which allowed Subaru to purchase the property at the commencement of the lease, or five years subsequent to inception, at depreciated cost. During the third quarter of 2018, the lease commenced and Subaru exercised its purchase option for the Subaru NSTC Development. Accordingly, the Company recognized $0.4 million in interest income during the three months ended September 30, 2018, in accordance with accounting guidance for sales-type leases.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 that aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to employees and nonemployees. Under previously issued GAAP guidance, the accounting for nonemployee share-based payments differed from that applied to employee awards, particularly with regard to the measurement date and the impact of performance conditions. Under the revised guidance, the existing employee guidance will apply to nonemployee share-based transactions (as long as the transaction is not effectively a form of financing), with the exception of specific guidance related to the attribution of compensation cost. The cost of nonemployee awards will continue to be recorded as if the grantor had paid cash for the goods or services. In addition, the contractual term will be able to be used in lieu of an expected term in the option-pricing model for nonemployee awards. Changes to the accounting for nonemployee awards include:

 

Equity-classified share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees will now be measured on the grant date, instead of the previous requirement to remeasure the awards through the performance completion date. 

 

Compensation cost associated with the award will be recognized when achievement of the performance condition is probable, rather than upon achievement of the performance condition. 

 

The current requirement to reassess the classification (equity or liability) for nonemployee awards upon vesting will be eliminated, except for awards in the form of convertible instruments.

 

The revised guidance also clarifies that any share-based payment awards issued to customers should be evaluated under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance and improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. In addition, ASU 2017-12 requires an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update or requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This adoption method requires companies to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the update. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Leasing Standard

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance (“ASU-2016-02”) modifying the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in the same manner as operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The guidance supersedes previously issued guidance under ASC Topic 840 “Leases.”

The lease ASU requires the use of the modified retrospective transition method and does not allow for a full retrospective approach. However, it provides two options for application of the modified retrospective transition method:

 

Under the first option, the ASU requires the application of the standard to all leases that exist at or commence after, January 1, 2017 (the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the 2019 financial statements), with a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings on January 1, 2017, for the effect of applying the standard at the date of initial applications, and restatement of the amounts presented prior to January 1, 2019.

 

Under the second option, an entity may elect a package of practical expedients, which allows for the following:

 

o

An entity need not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;

 

o

An entity need not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and

 

o

An entity need not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

 

This package of practical expedients is available as a single election that must be consistently applied to all existing leases at the date of adoption. Lessors that adopt this package are not expected to reassess expired or existing leases at the date of initial application, which is January 1, 2017, under the ASU. This option enables entities to account for their existing leases for the remainder of the respective lease terms following previous accounting guidance, which eliminates the need to calculate a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

 

In addition, there is a practical expedient that allows the Company to use hindsight when determining the lease term and assessing the fair value of right of use assets. After considering its impact, the Company has decided not to elect the hindsight expedient as part of the application of the modified retrospective transition method.

 

Furthermore, in July 2018, the FASB adopted an amendment to the package of practical expedients that provides an optional transition method to make January 1, 2019 the initial application date of the ASU, rather than January 1, 2017. Entities that elect both the package of practical expedients and the optional transitional method will apply the new lease ASU prospectively, to leases commencing or modified after January 1, 2019, and will not be required to apply the disclosures under the new lease ASU to comparative periods.

 

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01 to address the accounting treatment of land easements within the context of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2018-01 provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date that the entity adopts Topic 842. An entity that does not elect this practical expedient should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, an amendment to the lease ASU that will allow lessors to elect, as a practical expedient, not to allocate the total consideration to lease and nonlease components based on their relative standalone selling prices. This practical expedient will allow lessors to elect a combined single lease component presentation if: (i) the timing and pattern of the revenue recognition of the combined single lease component is the same, and (ii) the related lease component and, the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. Nonlease components that do not meet the criteria of this practical expedient will be accounted for under the new revenue recognition ASU.

 

The guidance is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The ASU is expected to have the following impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

 

Under ASC 842 as a lessor, lease components are recognized on a straight line basis, while non-lease components will be recognized in accordance with the new revenue standard. The Company is in the process of evaluating its leases to determine if the timing and pattern of recognition for its lease and nonlease components is the same. If it is determined that the pattern of revenue recognition is the same for lease and nonlease components then the Company will present them within rental revenue in its consolidated statement of operations. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact the ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements.  

 

ASC 842 is expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has land lease arrangements for which it is the lessee. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it expects operating expenses to increase by $0.8 million as ground rent expense for certain of its CPI indexed ground leases will be recognized on a straight-line basis under the new guidance.

 

The Company will expense additional costs related to leasing efforts under ASC 842 compared to the previous GAAP because certain activities performed by personnel involved in the leasing process will no longer be considered incremental costs to execute a lease agreement. Based on the Company’s analysis, leasing expenses will increase by $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, as internal costs and leasing pursuit costs will be expensed as incurred under ASC 842.

 

The Company’s equity-method investments may adopt the standard using the timeline otherwise afforded private companies. The Company anticipates the impact of ASC 842 will be similar to the items described above.

The Company has not completed its analysis of this ASU. The Company expects tenant recoveries that qualify as nonlease components will be presented under a single lease component presentation. Tenant recoveries that qualify as lease components, which relate to the right to use the leased asset (e.g., property taxes, and insurance), will be accounted for under the new lease ASU. Tenant recoveries that qualify as nonlease components, which relate to payments for goods or services that are transferred separately from the right to use the underlying asset, including tenant recoveries pertaining to payments for maintenance activities and common area expenses, would be accounted for under the new revenue recognition ASU upon adoption of the new lease ASU. Additionally, the Company has determined that it is going to elect to apply the package of practical expedients when applying the modified retrospective approach.
