New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 16 — New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which provides additional guidance related to share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods or services from nonemployees. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating this new guidance but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends the presentation and disclosure requirements for hedge accounting and changes how companies assess hedge effectiveness. This ASU is intended to more closely align hedge accounting with companies’ risk management strategies, simplify the application of hedge accounting, and increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs. The Company early adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method and its adoption did not have any impact on the Company’s previously reported income from operations, net income or accumulated undistributed net income for the periods presented. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” approach. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted after December 2018. The Company is evaluating the new guidance to determine if, and to the extent, it will impact the consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, 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. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases, which seeks to clarify aspects of ASU No. 2016-02 and correct unintended application of such guidance. The effective date of these standards will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating these new standards but does not expect them to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates adopting these standards effective as of January 1, 2019 and will apply the modified retrospective approach. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which outlines a new, single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. The new model requires revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, which delays the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. ASU No. 2014-09, ASU No. 2015-14 and ASU No. 2016-08 are herein collectively referred to as the “New Revenue Recognition Standards”. The Company adopted the New Revenue Recognition Standards on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The Company’s main revenue streams are rental revenues and tenant reimbursements. Such revenues are related to lease contracts with tenants which currently fall within the scope of ASC Topic 840, and will fall within the scope of ASC Topic 842 upon the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 (the Company’s sales of real estate are within the scope of ASU No. 2017-05, see Note 5). Accordingly, the adoption of the New Revenue Recognition Standards did not (i) result in a cumulative adjustment as of January 1, 2018, and (ii) have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
