Note 4 – Debt

In April 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the gross carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. We adopted ASU 2015-03 effective as of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and appropriately retrospectively applied the guidance to our Mortgage Notes Payable, Unsecured Term Loans and Senior Unsecured Notes for all periods presented. Unamortized debt issuance costs of approximately $2.6 million and $2.7 million are now included as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively (previously included in Unamortized Deferred Expenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.)

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had total gross indebtedness of $352.3 million including (i) $92.3 million of mortgage notes payable; (ii) $100.0 million of unsecured term loans; (iii) $100.0 million of senior unsecured notes; and (iv) $60.0 million of borrowings under its Credit Facility.

Mortgage Notes Payable

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had total gross mortgage indebtedness of $92.3 million which was collateralized by related real estate with an aggregate net book value of $118.1 million.
