2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
For more information regarding our significant accounting policies and estimates, please refer to “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2014. There have been no material changes to our policies since this filing, except as follows:
 
We recognize resident fees monthly as services are provided in cases where we serve the licensed operator of our facilities (see Note 4).
 
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date. We assume that users of these condensed consolidated financial statements have read or have access to the audited December 31, 2013 consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and that the adequacy of additional disclosure needed for a fair presentation, except in regard to material contingencies, may be determined in that context. Accordingly, footnotes and other disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 have been omitted.
 
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CHP, LLC (of which the Company owns  95%) and Nantucket Acquisition LLC, a variable interest entity (see Note 10). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
   
The accompanying financial information reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2014. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
  
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.
 
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard in 2017. 
 
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” This standard changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations by raising the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The standard limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results.
 
This standard is effective for the Company on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2015 and interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is still evaluating the impact of this new standard but does not expect it to have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements, when adopted.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Assets held for sale, and related liabilities, have been reclassified in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the operating results of those assets, including assets sold, have been reclassified from continuing to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
