Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 ("2017 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2017 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2017 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2017 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates

In order to conform with GAAP, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and our cash flows for each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue when they transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of the standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In August 2016 and November 2016, the FASB issued new ASUs impacting the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" intends to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We adopted both standards on January 1, 2018.

The adoption of ASU Nos. 2016-15 and 2016-18 modified our presentation of certain activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Restricted cash is comprised of gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties that are held by intermediary agents to be used for tax-deferred, like-kind exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Code. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, $15,679 and $5,619 of restricted cash was included in "Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash" in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, as a result of the adoption of these standards we reclassified $1,453 of prepayment penalties in connection with the payoff of certain mortgage loans from operating activities to financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The following table presents a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within our Consolidated Balance Sheets to amounts reported within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:



	2018		2017
Cash and Cash Equivalents	$	61,834	$	11,607
Restricted Cash	15,679		5,619
Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	$	77,513	$	17,226

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting. ASU 2016-02 will require lessees, at lease commencement to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms longer than twelve months. We are a lessee on a limited number of ground and office leases and expect to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for these leases upon adoption of this standard. The expense pattern for these leases will be consistent with that of our historical recognition.

The accounting for lessors will remain largely unchanged from existing GAAP standards with the underlying leased asset being reported and recognized as a real estate asset and rental income being recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term. This standard may also impact the timing, recognition, presentation and disclosures related to our rental recoveries from tenants earned from leasing our operating properties, although we do not expect a significant impact.

Additionally, ASU 2016-02 requires that lessors expense certain initial direct costs that are not incremental in negotiating a lease as incurred. Based on our results for the year ended December 31, 2017, we anticipate this change will reduce our EPS/EPU by approximately $0.01 in the year of adoption.

ASU 2016-02 will become effective for us on January 1, 2019. We expect to adopt the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we would not be required to reassess (1) whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for expired or existing leases; or (3) whether costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized. While we are well into our analysis of the adoption, we will continue to evaluate and assess the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeting Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities" ("ASU 2017-12"). ASU 2017-12 is intended to better align financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. As a result of the transition guidance, cumulative ineffectiveness that has been previously recognized on cash flow and net investment hedges that are still outstanding and designated as of the date of adoption will be adjusted and removed from beginning retained earnings and placed in accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We continue to assess all the potential impacts of ASU 2017-12; however, we do not expect the adoption to have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
