(4) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards –

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This topic amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. The disposal of a component must represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Partnership’s operations and financial results in order to be reported as discontinued operations, and require certain additional interim and annual disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. The Partnership has early adopted this standard effective January 1, 2014 and has applied the provisions prospectively. As a result, the Partnership anticipates that properties will not be considered discontinued operations when the properties are sold after January 1, 2014, with the exception of properties that were classified as Real Estate Held for Sale at December 31, 2013.
