SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 and related notes thereto set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Valuation of Real Estate and Related Assets
The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions and other factors, a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations, vacancies, co-tenancy clauses, reduced lease rates or other circumstances. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying value of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, the Company will adjust the real estate and related intangible assets to their fair value and recognize an impairment loss.
The Company continues to monitor one property with a book value of $4.1 million for which it has identified impairment indicators. For this property, the undiscounted future operating cash flows expected from the use of this property and its eventual disposition exceeded its carrying value as of June 30, 2011. Should the conditions related to this property, or any of our other properties change, the underlying assumptions used to determine the expected undiscounted future operating cash flows may change and adversely affect the recoverability of the carrying value related to such property. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.
Projections of expected future cash flows require the Company to use estimates such as future market rental income rates subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, terminal capitalization and discount rates, the number of months it takes to re-lease the property, required tenant improvements and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of alternative assumptions in the future cash flow analysis could result in a different assessment of the property’s future cash flow and a different conclusion regarding the existence of an impairment, the extent of such loss, if any, as well as the fair value of the Company’s real estate and related assets.
When a real estate asset is identified as held for sale, the Company will cease depreciation of the asset and estimate the sales price, net of selling costs. If, in the Company’s opinion, the net sales price of the asset is less than the carrying value of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying value would be recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs.
Restricted Cash
Included in restricted cash as of June 30, 2011, was $819,000 held by lenders in escrow accounts primarily for tenant and capital improvements, leasing commissions and repairs and maintenance for certain properties, in accordance with the respective lender’s loan agreement. In addition, as of June 30, 2011, the Company had $192,000 in restricted cash held by lenders in a lockbox account. As part of certain debt agreements discussed in Note 4, rents from the encumbered properties are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess funds are disbursed to the Company.
Redemptions of Common Stock
In accordance with the Company’s share redemption program, the purchase price paid for redeemed shares will equal the lesser of (1) the price actually paid for those shares or (2) either (i) $8.50 per share or (ii) 90.0% of the net asset value per share as determined by the Company’s board of directors. Therefore, the share redemption price would be $6.89 per share based on the most recently disclosed estimated value of $7.65 per share as determined by the Company’s board of directors, effective January 1, 2011. However, the Company’s share redemption program provides that the Company’s board of directors must determine at the beginning of each fiscal year the maximum amount of shares that the Company may redeem during that year. The Company’s board of directors determined that no amounts were to be made available for redemption during the year ending December 31, 2011.
