Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Basis of Presentation—The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such operating results may not be indicative of the expected results for any other interim periods or the entire year.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes to conform to the 2013 presentation.
During the interim periods ended June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012, the Company changed the classification within its cash flow statement for certain transactions involving the repurchase of its debt that was initially issued at a discount, as well as certain payments involving the potential acquisition of real estate. The Company believes the new classification is a more meaningful reflection of these transactions (collectively the “Reclassification”) and changed the Company's cash flows from the initially reported amounts as follows:

The above changes to the amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2012 will be classified in connection with the Company's filing on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These reclassifications were also reflected in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 to change the presentation for the items previously discussed. As a result, cash flows from operations and financing activities increased by $3.2 million and $7.0 million, while cash flows from investing decreased by $10.2 million. Additionally, within its 2012 Form 10-K, the Company corrected immaterial errors in the amount of $1.5 million in its December 31, 2010 statement of cash flows, which increased cash flows from operations and decreased cash flows from financing activities by $1.5 million.
Principles of Consolidation—The Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial statements of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, controlled partnerships and variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Consolidated VIEs—As of March 31, 2013, the Company consolidated five VIEs for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are included in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's total unfunded commitments related to consolidated VIEs is $62.1 million as of March 31, 2013.
Unconsolidated VIEs—As of March 31, 2013, 27 of the Company's other investments were in VIEs where it is not the primary beneficiary and accordingly the VIEs have not been consolidated in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. As of March 31, 2013, the Company's maximum exposure to loss from these investments does not exceed the sum of the $149.5 million carrying value of the investments and $8.2 million of related unfunded commitments.
