NOTE 9. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

We apply the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. ASC Topic 360 requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of by sale be measured at the lesser of (1) book value or (2) fair value less cost to sell.  In addition, it requires that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions.

 

Discontinued operations relates to properties that were either sold or held for sale as of the period ended March 31, 2012.  Included in discontinued operations are a total of three and 23 properties as of 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Properties sold in 2012 have been reclassified to discontinued operations for current and prior year reporting periods. In 2012, we sold one apartment complex (Wildflower Villas), one apartment complex was held for sale (Portofino) and one commercial property was held for sale (Clarke Garage). ). In 2011, we sold two apartment complexes (Spyglass, Westwood), 12 commercial properties (Addison Hanger I, Addison Hanger II, Alpenloan, Cooley Building, Fenton Center, One Hickory, Parkway North, Signature, Teleport Blvd, Two Hickory, Westgrove Air Plaza, Willowbrook Village), four hotels (Piccadilly Airport, Piccadilly Chateau, Piccadilly Shaw, Piccadilly University), 13 acres of land with a storage warehouse (Eagle Crest), and one trade show and exhibit hall (Denver Merchandise Mart). The gain on sale of the properties is also included in discontinued operations for those years. The following table summarizes revenue and expense information for the properties sold and held for sale (dollars in thousands):

Our application of ASC Topic 360 results in the presentation of the net operating results of these qualifying properties sold or held for sale during 2012 as income from discontinued operations.  This does not have an impact on net income available to common shareholders and only impacts the presentation of these properties within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
