Note 9 – Discontinued Operations

We elected to early adopt ASU 2014-08 “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption of this guidance had an effect on the presentation of our consolidated financial statements. Beginning in 2014, activities related to individual asset sales are generally no longer classified as discontinued operations except for the property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2014.

In January 2014, the Company sold a Kmart-anchored shopping center in Ironwood, Michigan, which was classified as held for sale on December 31, 2013, for approximately $5,000,000. The results of operations for this property are reported in discontinued operations for the years ending December 2014 and 2013, including revenues of approximately $42,600 and $1,281,000 respectively, and expenses of approximately $28,000 and $990,000, respectively.

In January 2013, the Company sold a single tenant property located in Ypsilanti, Michigan, which was classified as held for sale on December 31, 2012, for approximately $5,600,000. The results of operations for this property are reported in discontinued operations for the year ended December 2013, including revenues of approximately $9,300, and expenses of approximately $2,300.
