Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions are required in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, evaluating the impairment of long-lived assets, allocating the purchase price of acquired assets, determining the fair value of debt and evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company bases these estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Reclassifications

The Company has made certain reclassifications to the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 to conform to the 2018 presentation, including a $1,019 and $2,846 reclassification, respectively, of certain payroll costs from general and administrative expenses to property operating expenses based on the determination by the Company that certain functions' activities were more directly associated with the operations of the retail properties than corporate-level activities.

In addition, upon the adoption of ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, the Company has made certain reclassifications to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to conform to the 2018 presentation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the adoption resulted in a net $4,092 increase in cash used in investing activities. The Company determined that the presentation of funds held in escrow for potential future property acquisitions as restricted cash most appropriately reflects the nature of the restrictions on the balances and underlying transactions; historically, the funds were recorded as deferred costs and other assets, net. This reclassification increased restricted cash on the condensed consolidated balance sheets by $6,650 as of December 31, 2016. As a result, the Company made additional reclassifications to the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to conform to the 2018 presentation, including a $6,650 increase in net cash used in investing activities resulting from the reclassification of funds held in escrow for potential future property acquisitions.

Description

Date of adoption

Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters

ASU No. 2017-05, Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)

ASU No. 2017-05, which adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets and clarifies the scope of Subtopic 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, applies to the derecognition of all nonfinancial assets (including real estate) for which the counterparty is not a customer. The new guidance requires an entity to derecognize a nonfinancial asset in a partial sale transaction when it ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the asset and has transferred control of the asset and generally requires the full gain be recognized.

January 2018

For property sales where the Company has no continuing involvement, there should be no change to the Company's timing of gain or loss recognition. The Company adopted ASU No. 2017-05 in conjunction with the new revenue standard on January 1, 2018, resulting in deferred gains of $12,756 recognized through beginning distributions in excess of accumulated net income, as discussed in "Note 6. Investment in Consolidated and Unconsolidated Entities".
