Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2019

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Consolidation, Policy

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with the Company’s consolidated annual financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the referenced annual report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain immaterial, prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects the reclassification required in the prior period upon addition of a new financial statement line item described as "Acquisition, litigation and other", which was previously classified within "Selling, general and administrative", refer to Note 6 for further detail of this caption. The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity reflects the reclassification required in the prior period upon addition of a new financial statement line item described as "Common share issuance related to share-based payment plans, net of shares withheld for employee taxes", which was previously classified within "Share-based compensation expense (Stock Options and Restricted Stock Units)". The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reflects the reclassification required in the prior period upon elimination of the financial statement line item described as "Payment on Multi-employer pension plan withdrawal obligation" which is now classified within "Amortization of deferred financing costs and pension withdrawal liability".

Lease Accounting

Arrangements wherein we are the lessee:

At the inception of a contract, we determine if the contract is or contains a lease. Leases are classified as either financing or operating based upon criteria within ASC 842 and a right-of-use (ROU) asset and liability are established for leases with an initial term greater than 12 months. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, and not expected to renew beyond 12 months, are not recorded on the balance sheet and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term, as adjusted for prepayments, incentives and initial direct costs. ROU assets are subsequently measured at the value of the remeasured lease liability, adjusted for the remaining balance of the following, as applicable: lease incentives, cumulative prepaid or accrued rent and unamortized initial direct costs. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The depreciable lives of assets are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. As with other long-lived assets, ROU assets are reviewed for impairment when events or change in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and operating lease obligations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases assets are included in financing leases-net, accounts payable and accrued expenses and financing lease obligations on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Arrangements wherein we are the lessor:

Each new lease contract is evaluated for classification as a sales-type lease, direct financing or operating lease. A lease is a sales-type lease if any one of five criteria are met, as outlined in ASC 842, Leases, each of which indicate the lease, in effect, transfers control of the underlying asset to the lessee. If none of those five criteria are met, but two additional criteria are both met, indicating we have transferred substantially all the risks and benefits of the underlying asset to the lessee and a third party, the lease is a direct financing lease. All leases that are not sales-type or direct financing leases are operating leases. We do not currently have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

For operating leases wherein we are the lessor, we assess the probability of payments at commencement of the lease contract and subsequently recognize lease income, including variable payments based on an index or rate, over the lease term on a straight-line basis. We continue to measure and disclose the underlying assets subject to operating leases based on our policies for application of ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment.

For all asset classes we have elected to not separate the lease and non-lease components which generally relate to taxes and common area maintenance. Additionally, we elected a practical expedient to present all funds collected from lessees for sales and other similar taxes net of the related sales tax expense. Our lease contracts are structured in a manner to reduce risks associated with the residual value of leased assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The estimated fair value of this asset was determined based on ongoing negotiations with prospective buyers.

Capitalization of Costs

Project costs that are clearly associated with the development of properties are capitalized as incurred. Project costs include all costs directly associated with the development of a property, including construction costs, interest, and costs of personnel working on the project. Costs that do not clearly relate to the projects under development are not capitalized and are charged to expense as incurred.

Capitalization of costs begins when the activities necessary to get the development project ready for its intended use commence, which include costs incurred before the beginning of construction. Capitalization of costs ceases when the development project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Determining when a development project commences and when it is substantially complete and ready for its intended use involves a degree of judgment. We generally consider a development project to be substantially complete and ready for its intended use upon receipt of a certificate of occupancy. If and when development of a property is suspended pursuant to a formal change in the planned use of the property, we will evaluate whether the accumulated costs exceed the estimated value of the project and write off the amount of any such excess accumulated costs. For a development project that is suspended for reasons other than a formal change in the planned use of such property, the accumulated project costs are written off. Capitalized costs are allocated to the specific components of a project that are benefited.

Purchase Accounting

For business combinations, the excess of cost over fair value is recorded as goodwill. In an asset acquisition, the difference between the sum of the identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities and the total purchase price (including transactions costs) is allocated to the identified long-lived tangible and intangible assets and liabilities on a relative fair value basis. If the fair value of the real estate acquired exceeds its cost, it is allocated to the acquired identified long-lived tangible assets, consisting primarily of land, land improvements, buildings, tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of assembled workforce, above-market and below-market leases, value of in-place leases and acquired ground leases and tenant relationship value, based in each case on their fair values.

We make estimates of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and acquired liabilities using information from multiple sources as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, tax records and other sources. Our allocation of fair value is generally determined by third party appraisals or, in the case of land, valuations based on comparable sales. For site improvements, we consider replacement costs adjusted for physical and market obsolescence. Based on these estimates, we recognize the acquired assets and liabilities at their estimated fair values. The determination of fair value involves the use of significant judgment and estimation.

On May 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisitions of Cloverleaf and Lanier, both of which are accounted for as business combinations. Refer to Note 3 for the disclosures related to these acquisitions.

Asset Acquisitions

We acquired PortFresh in an asset acquisition on February 1, 2019 for $35.9 million. The table below reflects the purchase price allocation (in thousands):



Acquisition	Land		Building and Improvements		Machinery and Equipment		Assembled Workforce		Other Assets / Liabilities

PortFresh Holdings, LLC	$	20,715	$	10,846	$	3,410	$	351	$	601

Total	$	20,715	$	10,846	$	3,410	$	351	$	601

Weighted average remaining intangible amortization life (in months)							31

Bridge Loan Commitment Fees

During the second quarter of 2019, we incurred costs of approximately $2.7 million related to unused bridge loan commitment fees. These costs are classified as a component of interest expense within the financial statement line item titled "Bridge loan commitment fees" and are presented as a component of "Other expense" on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Lease Accounting

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended, which the Company adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach effective January 1, 2019. All leases that commenced prior to our adoption of this new standard are accounted for and disclosed in accordance with our existing policies for application of ASC 840, Leases. Accordingly, prior year amounts were not recast under the new standard.

Upon adoption, we elected a package of practical expedients for expired and existing contracts whereby we will (1) not reassess our prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs, (2) continue to apply existing accounting policies for all land easements that existed or expire before the date of adoption, (3) not recognize ROU assets or liabilities for leases that qualify as short-term leases for all classes of underlying assets, and (4) not separate lease an non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets. The Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient when determining the term for our leases.

The new standard requires disclosure of additional quantitative and qualitative information for lessee and lessor arrangements which has been included above in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and in Note 11.

Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. This ASU refines and expands hedge accounting for both financial (e.g., interest rate) and commodity risks. Its provisions create more transparency around how economic results are presented, both on the face of the financial statements and in the footnotes. It also makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. ASU 2017-12 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. This ASU permits the use of the OIS rate based upon SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for purposes of applying hedge accounting under Topic 815. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee announced that it identified the Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR) as its preferred alternative to LIBOR. The Company intends to continue to use LIBOR until its extermination date in 2021, and intends to replace LIBOR with SOFR at that time. The Company adopted ASU 2018-16 on January 1, 2019 and does not believe that the transition from LIBOR to SOFR will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which more closely aligns the accounting for employee and nonemployee share-based payments. The standard will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, and it did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Future Adoption of Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurement - Disclosure Framework

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The ASU removes the requirement to disclose: the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy; the policy for timing of transfers between levels; and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU requires disclosure of changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income (loss) for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. For public business entities, this guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Collaborative Arrangements

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. ASU 2018-18 clarifies that certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer and precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. For public business entities, these amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods therein. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2018-18 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses. For trade receivables, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The standard will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This update eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test, and specifies that goodwill impairment should be measured by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Additionally, the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets should be disclosed. For public business entities that are SEC filers, this ASU is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is allowed for all entities as of January 1, 2017, for annual and any interim impairment tests occurring after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2017-04 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Defined Benefit Plans

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. This update amends ASC 715 to remove disclosures that are no longer considered cost beneficial, clarifies the specific requirements of disclosures, and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant to defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. The ASU’s changes related to disclosures are part of the FASB’s disclosure framework project. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted for all entities and the amendments in this update are required to be applied on a retrospective basis to all periods presented. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2018-14 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
