New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements	Note 17 – New Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements as part of its disclosure framework project. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Company is evaluating the new guidance to determine if, and to the extent, it will impact the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies the accounting for share-based payments made to non-employees so that the accounting for such payments is substantially the same as those made to employees, with certain exceptions. Under this ASU, equity-classified share-based awards to non-employees will be measured at fair value on the grant date of the awards and entities will assess the probability of satisfying performance conditions if any are present. Awards will continue to be classified according to ASC 718 upon vesting which eliminates the need to reassess classification upon vesting, consistent with awards granted to employees, unless the award is modified after the service has been rendered, any other conditions necessary to earn the right to benefit from the instruments have been satisfied, and the nonemployee is no longer providing services. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance on July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have an 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, and in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, and 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. These standards require lessees to recognize (i) lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases which were previously classified as operating leases under ASC 840, Leases, and (ii) expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. Lessor accounting, inclusive of the effect of a practical expedient offered in ASU No. 2018-11 (which the Company expects to adopt and apply to most of its leases), which allows lessors to not separate non-lease components from the related lease components under certain conditions, will remain largely unchanged as under the previous standard, ASC 840. The Company is currently evaluating these new standards but does not expect them to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements. 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 Company will adopt these standards effective as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and anticipates electing the package of practical expedients that allows an entity to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. 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.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. An entity is permitted to early adopt either the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements. The Company is evaluating the new guidance to determine if, and to the extent, it will impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted this guidance on July 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of ASU 2018-07 did not have an 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.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, and in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, and 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. These standards require lessees to recognize (i) lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases which were previously classified as operating leases under ASC 840, Leases, and (ii) expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases.
