Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation . The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company's management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial statement and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustmen ts of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of our operations, and cash flows as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial state ments and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at year ended December 31, 2014 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2015.
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and entitie s the Company controls or of which it is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Real Estate Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Real estate sold subsequent to the current p eriod is classified as “real estate held for sale” at March 31, 2015 and for all prior periods presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company records the operating results rela ted to real estat e held for sale or disposed of as discontinued operations for all periods presented if the operations have been eliminated and the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property following the sale.
Use of Estimates | Use of Es timates. The preparation of financial statements in c onformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the allocation of purchase price paid for property acquisitions between land, building and intangible assets acquire d including their useful lives; valuation of long-lived assets, and the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based on an evaluation of the tenants’ ability to pay. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications | Reclassifications. Certain reclassific ations ha ve been made to the previously presented consolidated financial statements and condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of conso lidated operations or equity.
New Accounting Pronouncements Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or “FASB” issued an Accounting Standards Update “ASU” which modifies the guidance for consolidations. The standard is effe ctive for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a mater ial impact on its financial position, results of operations or related financial statement disclosures. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Ent ities should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, entities are required to co mply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. Extraordinary items are events and transactions that are distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. Eliminating the extraordinary classification simplifies income statement presentation by altoget her removing the concept of extraordinary items from consideration. The standard is effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year o f adoption. The Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations or related financial statement disclosures In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which supersedes or replaces nearly all GAAP revenue recognition guidance. The new guidance establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time and will expand disclosures about revenue. This guidance was originally effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 31, 2016, which for the Company is January 1, 2017; early adoption was not permitted. In April 2015, the FASB voted to propose a deferral of the effective date of the new standard by one year, but to permit companies to adopt one year earlier if they choose. The Company is assessing the impact of this ASU and date of adoption.
