Acquisitions

 

On January 23, 2015, the Company acquired the New London joint venture’s 60% ownership interest, giving the Company a 100% ownership interest in this property, which is located in New London, Connecticut. The purchase price was $27.3 million, consisting of $10.9 million in cash, and $16.4 million representing the 60% share of the in-place mortgage financing.  As the property was previously controlled and consolidated by the Company, the acquisition of the 60% noncontrolling ownership interest was recorded as a capital transaction.

 

On February 27, 2015, the Company acquired Lawndale Plaza, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The purchase price for the property, which was unencumbered, was approximately $25.2 million. The Company incurred costs of $0.5 million in connection with this acquisition. In addition, the purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to real estate assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as applicable, in accordance with accounting policies for business combinations, with such valuations to be finalized when valuation studies are completed.

 

Properties Held For Sale Subsequent to December 31, 2013

 

During 2015 the Company determined to sell Kenley Village, located in Hagerstown, Maryland, and during 2014, the Company determined to sell Circle Plaza, located in Shamokin Dam, Pennsylvania, and Liberty Marketplace, located in Dubois, Pennsylvania. The potential sales of these properties did not meet the criteria set forth in the guidance for reporting discontinued operations which was adopted in 2014. As such, these properties have been classified as “real estate held for sale” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and their results of operations have remained in continuing operations.

 

The Company conducts a continuing review of the values for all remaining properties “held for sale” based on final sales prices and sales contracts entered into. Impairment charges/reversals, if applicable, are based on a comparison of the carrying values of the properties with either (1) actual sales prices less costs to sell for properties sold, or contract amounts for properties in the process of being sold, (2) estimated sales prices based on discounted cash flow analyses, if no contract amounts were as yet being negotiated (see Note 5 — “Fair Value Measurements”), or (3) with respect to land parcels, estimated sales prices, less cost to sell, based on comparable sales completed in the selected market areas. Prior to the Company’s determination to dispose of properties, which are subsequently reclassified to “held for sale”, the Company performs recoverability analyses based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows that were expected to result from the real estate investments’ use and eventual disposal. The projected undiscounted cash flows of each property reflects that the carrying value of each real estate investment would be recovered. However, as a result of the properties’ meeting the “held for sale” criteria, such properties were written down to the lower of their carrying value and estimated fair values less costs to sell.
