Basis of Presentation

The balance sheet has been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), the Company will qualify as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). An EGC may choose to take advantage of the extended private company transition period provided for complying with new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the FASB or the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company has elected to opt out of such extended transition period. This election is irrevocable.

Principles of Combination and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The financial position and results of operations of the entities comprising the Predecessor have been combined because they are under the common control of Mr. Hoffler and under the common management by Armada Hoffler. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination. In the opinion of management, the combined financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The accompanying combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Company’s final prospectus dated May 7, 2013 (SEC File No. 333-187513).

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Such estimates are based on management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.
