FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
NOTE 3 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement.
The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents and tenant receivables, prepaid expenses, and accounts payable and accrued expenses — The Company considers the carrying values of these financial instruments to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization.
Notes payable and lines of credit — The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow technique based on estimated borrowing rates available to the Company as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The estimated fair value of the notes payable and lines of credit with affiliate was $119.7 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2011, as compared to the carrying value of $118.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the notes payable and line of credit with affiliate was $118.2 million and $1.9 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2010, as compared to the carrying value of $118.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of certain financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.
