Basis of Presentation and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions are required in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, evaluating the impairment of long-lived assets, allocating the purchase price of acquired retail properties, determining the fair value of debt and evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company bases these estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

FASB Staff Q&A, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic

On April 10, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a document titled Staff Q&A, Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic ("FASB Q&A document") which focused on the application of lease guidance for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this document, the FASB staff will allow entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842, Leases, ("Topic 842") as though enforceable rights and obligations for those qualifying concessions existed. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this optional election on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Adopted



Standard	Description	Date of adoption	Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement	ASU No. 2018-13 is intended to improve the effectiveness of the disclosures required by Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement by eliminating, amending, or adding certain disclosures. Certain amendments require a prospective transition method, while others require a retrospective transition method.	January 2020	The Company adopted the amendments of ASU No. 2018-13 on the applicable basis required, either prospective or retrospective. The standard only impacts fair value measurement disclosures, and therefore did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting	ASU 2020-04 is intended to provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. Topic 848 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. Application of these expedients, which may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur, preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation.	January 2020	The Company adopted ASU No. 2020-04 and has elected to apply, as of January 1, 2020, the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. The Company is continuing to evaluate this guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur. The Company expects the application of Topic 848 to assist in preserving the Company's presentation of derivatives as cash flow hedges.

Other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed in the foregoing table have been excluded because they are either not relevant to the Company, or are not expected to have, or did not have, a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.
