Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the Company’s accounts, the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries or subsidiaries for which the Company has a controlling interest, the accounts of variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and the accounts of other subsidiaries over which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of VIEs, the Company is required to identify entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights and to determine the primary beneficiary of its VIEs. The Company quantitatively assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and considers various qualitative factors including, but not limited to, the design of the entity, its organizational structure including decision-making ability and financial agreements, its ability and the rights of others to participate in policy making decisions, as well as the Company's ability to liquidate the entity. If an entity is determined to be a VIE and the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, the Company includes the accounts of the VIE in its consolidated financial statements.
Allocation of Purchase Price for Real Estate Acquisitions
Allocation of Purchase Price for Real Estate Acquisitions — Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, the Company records the fair value of the tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings, improvements and equipment), intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases and above or below market lease values), assumed liabilities and any contingent liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value is determined based on incorporating market participant assumptions, discounted cash flow models using appropriate capitalization rates, and the Company’s estimates reflecting the facts and circumstances of each acquisition. Acquisition fees and costs are expensed for acquisitions that are considered a business combination.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired leased property is determined by various factors including the comparable land sale method and cost approach method which estimates the replacement cost new less depreciation and a go dark income approach on the building in which the building is assumed to be vacant.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The purchase price is allocated to in-place lease intangibles based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease up periods, including estimates of lost rental income during the expected lease up periods, and costs to execute similar leases such as leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.
The Company may also enter into yield guarantees in connection with an acquisition, whereby the seller agrees to hold a portion of the purchase price in escrow that may be repaid to the Company in the event certain thresholds are not met. In calculating the estimated fair value of the yield guarantee, the Company considers information obtained about each property during the due diligence and budget process as well as discount rates to determine the fair value. The Company periodically evaluates the fair value of the yield guarantee and records any adjustments to the fair value as a component of other income (expense) in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and Amortization — Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over the lesser of 39 years or the remaining life of the ground lease including renewal options and leasehold and permit interests.
Amortization of intangible assets is computed using the straight-line method of accounting over the respective lease term or estimated useful life. The capitalized above-market or below-market lease intangible is amortized to rental income over the estimated remaining term of the respective leases. If a lease were to be terminated prior to its scheduled expiration, all unamortized costs related to the lease would be written off. Intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, and like all intangibles, are evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or upon a trigger event.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities — The Company accounted for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting as the Company exercised significant influence, but did not maintain a controlling financial interest over these entities. These investments were recorded initially at cost and subsequently adjusted for cash contributions, distributions and equity in earnings (loss) of the unconsolidated entities. Based on the respective venture structures and preferences the Company received on distributions and liquidation, the Company recorded its equity in earnings of the entities under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method of accounting. Under this method, the Company recognized income or loss in each period as if the net book value of the assets in the ventures were hypothetically liquidated at the end of each reporting period following the provisions of the joint venture agreements. In any given period, the Company may have recorded more or less income than actual cash distributions received and more or less than what the Company may have received in the event of an actual liquidation. The Company’s investment in unconsolidated entities was accounted for as an asset acquisition in which acquisition fees and expenses were capitalized as part of the basis in the investment in unconsolidated entities. The acquisition fees and expenses created an outside basis difference that were allocated to the assets of the investee and, if assigned to depreciable or amortizable assets, the basis differences were then amortized as a component of equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities.
Acquisition Fees and Expenses
Acquisition Fees and Expenses — The Company incurred acquisition fees and expenses in connection with the selection and acquisition of properties, including expenses on properties it determined not to acquire. The Company immediately expensed all acquisition costs and fees associated with transactions deemed to be business combinations, but capitalized these costs for transactions deemed to be acquisitions of an asset or equity method investment.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets
Impairment of Real Estate Assets — Real estate assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, general market conditions and significant changes in the manner of use or estimated holding period of the Company’s real estate assets or the strategy of its overall business, that the value of the real estate properties (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. To assess if a property value is potentially impaired, management compares the estimated current and projected undiscounted operating cash flows of the property over its remaining useful life (or holding period) plus an estimate of residual value (collectively, the “Estimated Cash Flows”), to the net carrying value of the property. Such cash flow projections consider factors such as estimated lease payments under the Company’s triple net leases, estimated future operating income on managed properties, trends and prospects, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. In the event that the carrying value exceeds the Estimated Cash Flows, the Company would then determine fair value using discounted Estimated Cash Flows (or estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell) to determine fair value. In the event the carrying value exceeds the discounted Estimated Cash Flows (or estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell), the Company would record an impairment provision to adjust the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated fair value of the property.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
For real estate the Company indirectly owned through an investment in a joint venture, tenant-in-common interest or other similar investment structure which was accounted for under the equity method, when impairment indicators were present, the Company compared the estimated fair value of its investment to the carrying value. An impairment charge was recorded to the extent the fair value of its investment was less than the carrying amount and the decline in value was determined to be other than a temporary decline.
The estimated fair values of unconsolidated entities were based upon a discounted cash flow model that included all estimated cash inflows and outflows over the expected holding period. The capitalization rates and discounted rates utilized in the model were based upon rates that the Company believed to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the underlying properties.
Bargain Purchase Gain
Bargain Purchase Gain — A bargain purchase gain is recorded as a gain in earnings in the period of acquisition when the fair value of assets acquired net of liabilities assumed is greater than the consideration transferred.
Assets Held for Sale, net and Discontinued Operations
Assets Held for Sale, net and Discontinued Operations — Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to dispose. The Company classifies assets as held for sale once management has the authority to approve and commits to a plan to sell, the assets are available for immediate sale, an active program to locate a buyer and the sale of the assets are probable and transfer of the assets are expected to occur within one year. The Company's remaining properties as of December 31, 2016 require the approval of the proposed Sale Agreement by stockholders in order to be sold. Subsequent to classification of an asset as held for sale, no further depreciation or amortization relating to the asset are recorded. The Company presents the assets of any properties which have been sold, or otherwise qualify as held for sale, separately in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company classifies assets held for sale as discontinued operations if the disposal has (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results. For those assets held for sale that qualify for classification as discontinued operations, the specific components of net income (loss) are presented as discontinued operations include operating income (loss) and interest expense directly attributable to the property held for sale, net. In addition, the net gain or loss (including any impairment loss) on the eventual disposal of assets held for sale that qualify as discontinued operations are presented as discontinued operations when recognized.
Real Estate Dispositions
Real Estate Dispositions — When real estate is disposed of, the related cost, accumulated depreciation or amortization and any accrued rental income for operating leases are removed from the accounts and gains and losses from the disposition are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains from the disposition of real estate are generally recognized using the full accrual method in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance included in Real Estate Sales, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of sale and subsequent involvement by the Company with the properties are met. Gains may be deferred in whole or in part until the sales satisfy the requirements of gain recognition on sale of real estate.
Cash
Cash — Cash consists of demand deposits at commercial banks. The Company also invests in cash equivalents consisting of highly liquid investments in money market funds with original maturities of three months or less during the year. As of December 31, 2016, cash deposits exceeded federally insured amounts. However, the Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts. Management continues to monitor third-party depository institutions that hold the Company’s cash, primarily with the goal of safety of principal and secondarily on maximizing yield on those funds. To that end, the Company has diversified its cash among several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. Management has attempted to select institutions that it believes are strong based on an evaluation of their financial stability and exposure to poor performing assets.
Restricted Cash
Restricted Cash — Certain amounts of cash are restricted to fund capital expenditures for the Company’s real estate investment properties or represent certain tenant security deposits.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — The Company utilizes derivative instruments to partially offset the effect of fluctuating interest rates on the cash flows associated with its variable-rate debt. The Company follows established risk management policies and procedures in its use of derivatives and does not enter into or hold derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivative instruments on the balance sheet at fair value. On the date the Company enters into a derivative contract, the derivative is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction. The effective portion of the derivative’s gain or loss is initially reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in the statement of operations in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is reflected in interest expense in the statement of operations. The Company made an accounting policy election to use the exception in ASU 820-10-35-18D with respect to measuring fair value of a group of financial assets and financial

liabilities entered into with a particular counterparty, where the Company reports the net exposure to the credit risk of that counterparty.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The estimated fair value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates carrying value as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, because of the liquid nature of the assets and relatively short maturities of the obligations. See Footnote 8. “Indebtedness” for the Company’s estimates of the fair value of its indebtedness as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements — Fair value assumptions are based on the framework established in the fair value accounting guidance under GAAP. The framework specifies a hierarchy of valuation inputs which was established to increase consistency, clarity and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based upon three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, two of which are considered observable and one that is considered unobservable. The following describes the three levels of fair value inputs:
•
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.
•
Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; such as, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.
•
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on the Company’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
When market data inputs are unobservable, the Company utilizes inputs that it believes reflects the Company’s best estimate of the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred Financing Costs — Financing costs paid in connection with obtaining long-term debt are deferred and amortized over the life of the debt using the effective interest method.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign Currency Translation — The accounting records for the Company’s one consolidated foreign location, in Vancouver, British Columbia, are maintained in the local currency and revenues and expenses are translated using the average exchange rates during the period. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments are reflected in stockholders’ equity as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition — For properties subject to operating leases, rental revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Additional percentage rent that is due contingent upon tenant performance thresholds, such as gross revenues, is deferred until the underlying performance thresholds have been achieved. Property operating revenues from managed properties, which are not subject to leasing arrangements, are derived from room rentals, food and beverage sales, ski and spa operations, golf operations, membership dues, ticket sales, concessions, waterpark and theme park operations, resident rental fees, assistance services, and other service revenues. Such revenues, excluding membership dues, are recognized when rooms are occupied, when services have been performed, and when products are delivered. Membership dues are recognized ratably over the term of the membership period. For mortgages and other notes receivable, interest income is recognized on an accrual basis when earned, except for loans placed on non-accrual status, for which interest income is recognized when received. Any deferred portion of contractual interest is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the corresponding note. Loan origination fees charged and acquisition fees incurred in connection with the making of loans are recognized as interest income, and a reduction in interest income, respectively over the term of the notes.
Capital Improvement Reserve Income
Capital Improvement Reserve Income — The Company’s leases require the tenants to pay certain contractual amounts that are set aside by the Company for replacements of fixed assets and other improvements to the properties. These amounts are and will remain the property of the Company during and after the term of the lease. The amounts are recorded as capital improvement reserve income at the time that they are earned and are included in rental income from operating leases in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Mortgages and Other Notes Payable
Mortgages and Other Notes Payable — Mortgages and other notes payable are recorded at the stated principal amount and are generally collateralized by the Company’s properties with monthly interest only and/or principal payments.
Self Insurance Reserves
Self Insurance Reserves — The Company has self-insured retention amounts for certain properties. Accordingly, the Company has established a liability for both known claims and claims that are incurred but not reported ("IBNR"). IBNR reserves are recorded as a component of Other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes — The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and related regulations beginning with the year ended December 31, 2004. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income taxes provided it distributes at least 100% of its REIT taxable income and capital gains and meets certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Subject to compliance with applicable tax law, certain properties may be operated using an eligible third-party manager. In those cases, taxable income from those operations may be subject to federal income tax. After taking into consideration the savings clause described below in "Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements," management believes that the Company was organized and operated in a manner that enabled the Company to continue to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014.
Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and applicable state laws, each TRS entity of the Company is subject to taxation of income on the profits and losses from its operations. The Company accounts for federal and state income taxes with respect to its TRS entities using the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and respective tax bases and operating losses and tax-credit carry forwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
Earnings (loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) Per Share — Earnings (loss) per share is calculated based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. For example, significant estimates and assumptions are made in connection with the allocation of purchase price and the analysis of real estate, equity method investments and for impairments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segment Information
Segment Information — Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker currently evaluates the Company’s operations from a number of different operational perspectives including but not limited to a property-by-property basis and by tenant and operator. The Company derives all significant revenues from a single reportable operating segment of business, lifestyle real estate regardless of the type (ski, attractions, etc.) or ownership structure (leased or managed).
Reclassifications
Reclassifications — Certain prior period amounts in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no effect on previously reported total assets and total liabilities, net loss or stockholders’ equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements — In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which requires amendments to both the variable interest entity and voting models. The amendments (i) modify the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), the VIE characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and primary beneficiary determination under the VIE model, and (ii) eliminate the presumption within the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied using either a modified retrospective or full retrospective approach. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016, and determined that the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which requires that loan 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, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively for each period presented. Upon adoption, an entity is required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. The FASB subsequently issued ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements,” which clarifies that, given the absence of authoritative guidance in ASU 2015-03 regarding presentation and subsequent measurement of loan costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC Staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting loan costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the loan costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016. As permitted by ASU 2015-03, the Company retrospectively adjusted the presentation of loan costs related to its mortgage and notes payables and presented these loan costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt payable for all periods presented. As permitted by ASU 2015-15, the Company did not change the presentation of loan costs related to its line of credit arrangement and continued to present these loan costs as Other Assets on the statement of financial position.
The following table provides additional details by financial statement line item of the adjusted presentation in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 (in thousands):

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments,” which requires an acquirer to recognize provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2016, and determined that the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," which requires management to assess a company's ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Under the new standard, disclosures are required when conditions give rise to substantial doubt about a company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the financial statement issuance date. The new standard applies to all companies and is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and all annual and interim periods thereafter. The Company adopted this ASU effective with the annual period ending December 31, 2016. The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” as a new ASC topic (Topic 606). The core principle of this amendment is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard further provides guidance for any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, lease contracts). In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of Effective Date” which defers the original effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with earlier adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. ASU 2014-09 can be adopted using one of two retrospective application methods: 1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or 2) as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has determined that it will not early adopt ASU 2014-09 as a result of the approval of the Plan of Dissolution by the Company's stockholders. The Company is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842): Accounting for Leases,” which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The ASU requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. The ASU further modifies lessors’ classification criteria for leases and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The ASU will also require qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to give financial statement users additional information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The ASU is to be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The Company has determined that it will not early adopt this ASU as a result of the approval of the Plan of Dissolution by the Company's stockholders. The Company is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows if the Plan of Dissolution is not approved by stockholders.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments,” which will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The ASU further clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied to cash receipts and payments relating to more than one class of cash flows. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively for each period presented.  The Company has determined that it will not early adopt this ASU as a result of the approval of the Plan of Dissolution by the Company's stockholders. The Company is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated cash flows.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held Through Related Parties that are under Common Control,” which requires an entity to consider its indirect interests held by related parties that are under common control on a proportionate basis when evaluating whether the entity is a primary beneficiary of a VIE. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company will adopt this ASU on January 1, 2017 and is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash,” which modifies the presentation of the statement of cash flows and requires reconciliation to the overall change in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. As a result, the statement of cash flows will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU is to be applied retrospectively for each period presented.  The Company has determined that it will not early adopt this ASU as a result of the approval of the Plan of Dissolution by the Company's stockholders. The Company is still evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’s consolidated cash flows.
