| Sale of real estate description | Real estate sales are recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) a sale is consummated, (2) the buyer has demonstrated an adequate commitment to pay for the property, (3) the Company’s receivable is not subject to future subordination, and (4) the Company has transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and does not have continuing involvement. | |||
| Lessor operating lease description | A lease arrangement is classified as an operating lease if none of the following criteria are met: (i) ownership transfers to the lessee prior to or shortly after the end of the lease term, (ii) lessee has a bargain purchase option during or at the end of the lease term, (iii) the lease term is greater than or equal to 75% of the underlying property’s estimated useful life, or (iv) the present value of the future minimum lease payments (excluding executory costs) is greater than or equal to 90% of the fair value of the leased property. If one or more of these criteria are met, and the minimum lease payments are determined to be reasonably predictable and collectible, the lease arrangement is generally accounted for as a direct financing lease. Consistent with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) ASC 840, Leases, if the fair value of the land component is 25% or more of the total fair value of the leased property, the land is considered separately from the building for purposes of applying the lease term and minimum lease payments criterion in (iii) and (iv) above | |||
