Real Estate Property Acquisitions and Acquired Intangibles | REAL ESTATE PROPERTY ACQUISITIONS AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLES Upon acquisition of real estate properties, EastGroup applies the principles of FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. The FASB Codification provides a framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. Under the guidance, companies are required to utilize an initial screening test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set is not a business. EastGroup determined that its real estate property acquisitions in 2020 and the first three months of 2021 are considered to be acquisitions of groups of similar identifiable assets; therefore, the acquisitions are not considered to be acquisitions of a business. As a result, the Company capitalized acquisition costs related to its 2020 and 2021 acquisitions. The FASB Codification also provides guidance on how to properly determine the allocation of the purchase price among the individual components of both the tangible and intangible assets based on their respective fair values. Factors considered by management in allocating the cost of the properties acquired include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. The allocation to tangible assets (land, building and improvements) is based upon management’s determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models. The Company determines whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar properties. The cost of the properties acquired may be adjusted based on indebtedness assumed from the seller that is determined to be above or below market rates. The purchase price is also allocated among the following categories of intangible assets: the above or below market component of in-place leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships. The value allocable to the above or below market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of the amounts that would be paid using current market rents over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above and below market leases are included in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The total amount of intangible assets is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship values based upon management’s assessment of their respective values. These intangible assets are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the remaining term of the existing lease, or the anticipated life of the customer relationship, as applicable. Amortization expense for in-place lease intangibles was $1,431,000 and $1,334,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amortization of above and below market leases increased rental income by $229,000 and $374,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company acquired the following value-add properties: Access Point 1 in Greenville and Northpoint 200 in Atlanta. At the time of acquisition, these value-add properties were classified in the lease-up phase. The total cost for the properties acquired by the Company was $17,017,000, of which $16,746,000 was allocated to Development and value-add properties. EastGroup allocated $1,986,000 of the total purchase price to land using third party land valuations for the Greenville and Atlanta markets. Intangibles associated with the purchase of real estate were $271,000, which related to in-place lease intangibles (included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets). These costs are amortized over the remaining lives of the associated leases in place at the time of acquisition. The market values are considered to be Level 3 inputs as defined by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (see Note 17 for additional information on ASC 820). During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company acquired the following operating properties: Wells Point One in Austin; Cherokee 75 Business Center 1 in Atlanta; and The Rock in Dallas. The Company also acquired one value-add property, Rancho Distribution Center in Los Angeles. At the time of acquisition, Rancho Distribution Center was classified in the lease-up phase. The total cost for the properties acquired by the Company was $76,518,000, of which $46,240,000 was allocated to Real estate properties and $27,320,000 was allocated to Development and value-add properties. EastGroup allocated $23,565,000 of the total purchase price to land using third party land valuations for the Atlanta, Austin, Dallas and Los Angeles markets. Intangibles associated with the purchase of real estate were allocated as follows: $3,257,000 to in-place lease intangibles, $104,000 to above market leases (included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets) and $403,000 to below market leases (included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets). The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of goodwill (at least annually) and the recoverability of other intangibles (on a quarterly basis) for possible impairment. No impairment of goodwill or other intangibles existed during the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
