Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 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, 2015 ("2015 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2015 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2015 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, 2015 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and our cash flows for each of the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015; all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Reclassifications Interest income, which was included in other income and expense on the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, has been reclassified to be included in tenant recoveries and other income to conform to the 2016 presentation. Deferred Financing Costs Effective January 1, 2016, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03, "Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs" ("ASU 2015-03"), which amended the presentation of debt issuance costs on a consolidated balance sheet. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts, instead of as an asset. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by this update. Debt issuance costs related to revolving credit agreements are not within the scope of this new guidance. The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-15,"Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" ("ASU 2015-15"), which expanded upon ASU 2015-03. ASU 2015-15 stated that given the absence of authoritative guidance within 2015-03, the SEC staff would not object to deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset for revolving credit agreements and subsequently amortizing the deferred issuance costs ratably over the term of the arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit agreement. The adoption of ASU 2015-03 was applied retrospectively. See Note 4 for more information about the reclassification of our debt issuance costs. The debt issuance costs related to our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") remain classified as an asset and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the consolidated balance sheets. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those good or services. For the real estate industry, leasing transactions are not within the scope of the new standard. A majority of our tenant-related revenue is recognized pursuant to lease agreements. The FASB has subsequently issued several additional ASUs to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations, assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers, non-cash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition. These ASUs are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these ASUs on our consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires the use of a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 intends to simplify several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, the classification of certain items on the statement of cash flows, statutory tax withholding requirements and the accounting for forfeitures. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 is not expected to impact our consolidated financial statements.
