Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet. Management believes that the estimates utilized in preparing the consolidated financial statements are reasonable. As such, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and any single member limited liability companies or other entities which are consolidated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company consolidates variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where it is the primary beneficiary and voting interest entities which are generally majority owned or otherwise controlled by the Company. All intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company determines if an entity is a VIE in accordance with guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation. For an entity in which the Company has acquired an interest, the entity will be considered a VIE if both of the following characteristics are not met: 1) the equity investors in the entity have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, and 2) the equity investors’ total investment at risk is sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company makes judgments regarding the sufficiency of the equity at risk based first on a qualitative analysis, then a quantitative analysis, if necessary. A qualitative analysis is generally based on a review of the design of the entity, including its control structure and decision-making abilities, and also its financial structure. In a quantitative analysis, the Company would incorporate various estimates, including estimated future cash flows, assumed hold periods and capitalization or discount rates.

If an entity is determined to be a VIE, the Company then determines whether to consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity.

The Company evaluates all of its investments in real estate-related assets to determine if they are VIEs utilizing judgments and estimates that are inherently subjective. If different judgments or estimates were used for these evaluations, it could result in differing conclusions as to whether or not an entity is a VIE and whether or not to consolidate such entity. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company concluded that it had investments in VIEs. Refer to Note 11 — Variable Interest Entities for additional information.

Voting Interest Entities

A voting interest entity is an entity in which the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable it to finance its activities independently and the equity holders have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact its economic performance, the obligation to absorb the losses of the entity and the right to receive the residual returns of the entity. The usual condition for a controlling financial interest in a voting interest entity is ownership of a majority voting interest. If the Company has a majority voting interest in a voting interest entity, the entity will generally be consolidated. The Company will not consolidate a voting interest entity if there are substantive participating rights by other parties and/or kick-out rights by a single party. The Company performs ongoing reassessments of whether entities previously evaluated under the voting interest framework have become VIEs, based on certain events, and therefore subject to the VIE consolidation framework, and vice versa.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of amounts held by lenders in escrow accounts for real estate taxes, and other lender reserves for certain properties. This also includes amounts required under the liquidity covenants of the credit facility agreement.

Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”)

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326)—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and related amendments on January 1, 2023. In accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 326, the Company presents its financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, net of an allowance for credit losses, which represents the amount expected to be collected over their estimated life. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets carried at amortized cost, as well as changes to expected lifetime credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. The CECL methodology represents a significant change from prior U.S. GAAP and replaced the prior multiple impairment methods, which generally required that a loss be incurred before it was recognized. Within the life cycle of a loan or other financial asset in scope, the methodology generally results in the earlier recognition of the provision for credit losses and the related allowance for credit losses than under prior U.S. GAAP. The CECL methodology’s impact on expected credit losses, among other things, reflects the Company’s view of the current state of the economy, forecasted macroeconomic conditions and the Company’s portfolios.

Deferred Rent Receivable

Deferred rent receivable represents rent earned in excess of rent received as a result of straight-lining rents over the terms of the leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Deferred rent receivable was $12,498,113 and $11,575,495, respectively.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

Prepaid expenses and other assets consist primarily of prepaid operating expenses and reimbursements due from tenants.

Investment in Real Estate, net

Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the costs of acquisition, including certain acquisition-related expenses, major improvements and betterments that extend the useful life of the real estate assets and leasing costs. All repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. The Company accounts for its acquisitions of assets or businesses in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

Upon the acquisition of real estate properties, the Company allocates the purchase price to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, and to identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market leases, below-market leases, and in-place leases, based in each case on their respective fair values. The Company utilizes independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and buildings). The information in the appraisal, along with any additional information available to the Company’s management, is used in estimating the amount of the purchase price that is allocated to land. Other information in the appraisal, such as building value and market rents, may be used by the Company’s management in estimating the allocation of purchase price to the building and to intangible lease assets and liabilities. The appraisal firm has no involvement in management’s allocation decisions other than providing this market information.

The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine its appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows:


Description		Depreciable Life
Buildings		39 years
Site improvements		Remaining useful life
Intangible lease assets and liabilities		Over lease term

The determination of the fair values of the real estate assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, capitalization and discount rates, interest rates and other variables. The use of alternative estimates may result in a different allocation of the Company’s purchase price, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.

The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate assets may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators that the Company considers include, but are not limited to, bankruptcy or other credit concerns of a property’s major tenant, such as a history of late payments, rental concessions and other factors, a significant decrease in a property’s revenues due to lease terminations, vacancies, co-tenancy clauses, reduced lease rates or other circumstances. When indicators of potential impairment are present, the Company assesses the recoverability of the assets by determining whether the carrying amount of the assets will be recovered through the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. In the event that such expected undiscounted future cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount, the Company will adjust the real estate assets to their respective fair values and recognize an impairment loss. Generally, fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis and recent comparable sales transactions. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no impairment losses have been identified.

Investments in Real Estate-Related Assets

Mezzanine Loan Investment

The Company has made a mezzanine loan investment through the Illinois SPE. Mezzanine loan investments are generally intended to be held for investment and, accordingly, are carried at cost, net of unamortized fees, premiums, discounts and unfunded commitments. Mezzanine loan investments that are deemed to be impaired are carried at amortized cost less a loss reserve, if deemed appropriate. Mezzanine loan investments for which the Company does not have the intent to hold the investment for the foreseeable future or until its expected payoff are classified as held for sale and recorded at the lower of cost or estimated value.

Mezzanine loan investments are considered credit impaired when, based on current information and events, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, the Company will not be able to collect principal and income from mezzanine loan amounts due according to the contractual terms. The Company assesses the credit quality of the portfolio and adequacy of loss reserves on a periodic basis. Significant judgment of management is required in this analysis. The Company considers the estimated net recoverable value of the mezzanine loan investment as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the quality and financial condition of the borrower and the competitive situation of the area where the underlying collateral is located. Because this determination is based on projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amount ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. If upon completion of the assessment, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral is less than the net carrying value of the mezzanine loan investment, a loss reserve is recorded with a corresponding charge to provision for losses. The CECL reserve for each mezzanine loan investment is maintained at a level that is determined to be adequate by management to absorb expected credit losses.

Income recognition is suspended for a mezzanine loan investment at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90-days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired mezzanine loan investment is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired mezzanine loan investment is not in doubt, contractual income from mezzanine loan is recorded as income from mezzanine loan when received, under the cash basis method until an accrual is resumed when the mezzanine loan investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. A mezzanine loan investment is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or legally discharged. Pursuant to the adoption of the CECL accounting standards, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable amounts as the Company writes-off the uncollectible accrued interest receivable balance in a timely manner. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no credit impairment losses have been identified.

Preferred Equity Investment

The Company has made a preferred equity investment in the Pennsylvania SPE, an entity that holds commercial real estate. Preferred equity investments are generally intended to be held to maturity and, accordingly, are carried at cost, net of unamortized fees, premium, discount and unfunded commitments. Preferred Equity investments that are deemed to be credit impaired are carried at amortized cost less a loss reserve, if deemed appropriate. Preferred equity investments where the Company does not have the intent to hold the investment for the foreseeable future or until its expected payoff are classified as held for sale and recorded at the lower of cost or estimated value.

Preferred equity investments are considered credit impaired when, based on current information and events, and reasonable and supportable forecasts, the Company will not be able to collect principal and preferred return income amounts due according to the contractual terms. The Company assesses the credit quality of the portfolio and adequacy of loss reserves on a periodic basis. Significant judgment of management is required in this analysis. The Company considers the estimated net recoverable value of the preferred equity investment as well as other factors, including but not limited to the fair value of any collateral, the amount and the status of any senior debt, the quality and financial condition of the borrower and the competitive situation of the area where the underlying collateral is located. Because this determination is based on projections of future economic events, which are inherently subjective, the amount ultimately realized may differ materially from the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. If upon completion of the assessment, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral is less than the net carrying value of the preferred equity investment, a loss reserve is recorded with a corresponding charge to provision for losses. The loss reserve for each preferred equity investment is maintained at a level that is determined to be adequate by management to absorb expected credit losses.

Income recognition is suspended for a preferred equity investment at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90-days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes doubtful. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired preferred equity investment is in doubt, all payments are applied to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the principal of an impaired preferred equity investment is not in doubt, contractual preferred return income is recorded as preferred return income when received, under the cash basis method until an accrual is resumed when the preferred return investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. A preferred return investment is written off when it is no longer realizable and/or legally discharged. Pursuant to the adoption of the CECL accounting standards, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable amounts as the Company writes-off the uncollectible accrued interest receivable balance in a timely manner. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no credit impairment losses have been identified.

Unconsolidated Equity Method Investments

The Company performs consolidation analysis in accordance with ASC Topic 810, Consolidation, as described in the “Variable Interest Entities” section of this Note 2. The Company has determined, as a result of its analysis, that it is not the primary beneficiary of its investment in the Station DST, and therefore has not consolidated the entity. The Company has accounted for its investment in the Station DST, which is controlled and managed by CFI, under the equity method of accounting, and included within Investments in real estate-related assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with ASC Topic 323, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures, the Company is able to exercise significant influence over this investee. Under the equity method, the investment is adjusted each period for capital contributions and distributions and its share of the entity’s net income (loss). Capital contributions, distributions and net income (loss) of such entity is recorded in accordance with the terms of the governing documents. An allocation of net income (loss) may differ from the stated ownership percentage interest in such entity as a result of preferred returns and allocation formulas, if any, as described in such governing documents. Investments in real estate-related assets are periodically reviewed for impairment based on projected cash flows from the underlying investment. If an impairment is identified, the carrying value of the investment will be reduced to the anticipated recoverable amount. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no impairment has been identified.

Investments in Debt Securities, at Fair Value

Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no investment in debt securities. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's investment in debt securities consisted of commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS"), which are securities backed by one or more mortgage loans secured by real estate assets, corporate bonds, term loans, mezzanine loans, and other debt issued by real estate-related companies or secured by real estate assets. These financial instruments are reported at fair value. CMBS debt securities are presented at fair value in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Interest income and changes in fair value of these debt securities are recognized as net gains (losses) from investment in debt securities in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The Company generally determines the fair value of its investments in debt securities by utilizing third-party pricing service providers whenever available.

In determining the fair value of a particular investment, pricing service providers may use broker-dealer quotations, reported trades or valuation estimates from their internal pricing model to determine the reported price. The pricing service providers' internal models for securities such as real estate debt generally consider the attributes applicable to a particular class of the security (e.g., credit rating, seniority), current market data, and estimated cash flows for each security, and collateral performance, as applicable. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had a realized gain of $1,634,921 from the sale of its investments in debt securities. For further details on the realized gain on the investments in debt securities refer to Note 7 – Investment in Debt Securities, at fair value and Note 14 – Fair Value Measurement for additional information.

Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related loan on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. The carrying value of the deferred financing costs at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $4,133,382 and $4,598,656, respectively, which is net of accumulated amortization of $2,910,013 and $2,295,932, respectively, and recorded as an offset to the related debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, amortization of deferred financing costs was $614,081 and $450,057, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, amortization of deferred financing costs was $307,042 and $226,286, respectively, and is included in Interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective leases.

Preferred return income from the Company’s preferred equity investment is recognized when earned and accrued based on the outstanding investment balance.

Income from mezzanine loan investment is recognized when earned and accrued based on the outstanding loan balance.

Income from CMBS is recognized on an accrual basis along with any changes in the fair value. The changes in fair value are reflected as an adjustment to net gain/(loss) from investment in debt securities. Refer to Note 7 — Investment in Debt Securities, at fair value for additional information.

Other Property Operating Revenues

Other property operating revenues include tenant reimbursement income and revenues received from tenants to cover utilities and other amenities. The tenant reimbursement income is derived from certain property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, among others, which are paid by the Company and are reimbursed by the tenants of the Company’s properties pursuant to the terms of the respective leases. These reimbursements and other revenues received from tenants are reflected as Other property operating revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, which, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was $11,785,762 and $8,557,339, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was $7,182,646 and $4,804,130, respectively.

Property Operating Expenses

Certain property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, among others, are paid by the Company and may be reimbursed by the tenants of the Company’s properties pursuant to the terms of the respective leases. These expenses incurred are reflected as Property operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, which for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was $20,420,767 and $16,811,429, respectively, and for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 was $11,438,151 and $9,142,736, respectively.

Derivative Instruments

The Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in foreign operations. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.

The accounting for subsequent changes in the fair value of these derivatives depends on whether each has been designed and qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. If the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting treatment (or for derivatives that do not qualify as hedges), any changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments is recognized immediately in gains (losses) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of operations. If a derivative is designated and qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting treatment, the change in the estimated fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) to the extent that it is effective. Any ineffective portion of a change in derivative fair value is immediately recorded in earnings.

Deferred Revenue

Deferred revenue represents unearned rent received in advance from tenants at certain of the Company’s properties, which at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $1,947,065 and $1,937,965, respectively.

Distribution Payable

Distribution payable is comprised of amounts of distributions declared by the Company but not yet paid and accrued distributions relating to the Performance Participation Allocation (as defined below in Note 9 – Stockholder’s Equity).

Also included within distribution payable is $9,530 due to certain specific affiliates, including the Sponsor, who are entitled to distributions based on their indirect equity interest in the Summerfield DST (as further described in Note 10 – Related Party Transactions). As of June 30, 2024, return of capital distributions were and are derived from net escrow break proceeds from the syndication of the Summerfield DST beneficial interest offering, with the related proceeds held and reported in cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 the aggregate total amount of distribution payable reported by the Company were $1,736,463 and $1,931,977, respectively.

Restricted Reserves

Restricted reserves are comprised of amounts received from tenants at certain of the Company’s properties for recoverable property operating expenses to be paid by the Company on behalf of the tenants, pursuant to the terms of the respective lease arrangements, which at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $8,918,730 and $10,716,532, respectively.

Due to Related Parties

Due to related parties is comprised of amounts contractually owed by the Company for various services provided to the Company from related parties, which at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were $10,409,380 and $5,776,223, respectively (See Note 10 – Related Party Transactions).

Organization and Offering Costs

The Advisor has agreed to pay, on behalf of the Company, all organizational and offering costs (including legal, accounting, and other costs attributable to the Company’s organization and offering, but excluding upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution fees) (“O&O Costs”) through the first anniversary of the date on which the Company satisfied the Minimum Offering Requirement, which was May 18, 2018 (the “Escrow Break Anniversary”). After the Escrow Break Anniversary, the Advisor, in its sole discretion, may pay some or all of the additional O&O Costs incurred, but is not required to do so. To the extent the Advisor pays such additional O&O Costs, the Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor subject to the 1% Cap (as defined below). Following the Escrow Break Anniversary, the Company began reimbursing the Advisor for payment of O&O Costs on a monthly basis, which continued through the period ended May 18, 2021; provided, however, that the Company was not obligated to pay any amounts that as a result of such payment would cause the aggregate payments for O&O Costs (less selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution fees) paid to the Advisor to exceed 1% of gross proceeds from all the Company’s public offerings (the “1% Cap”), as of such payment date. Any amounts not reimbursed in any period are included in determining any reimbursement liability for a subsequent period. As of June 30, 2024, the Advisor has continued to pay all O&O Costs on behalf of the Company.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Advisor has incurred O&O Costs on the Company’s behalf of $14,294,557 and $13,747,936, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company satisfied its obligation to reimburse the Advisor for O&O Costs. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, organizational costs of $90,675 were expensed and offering costs of $3,978,102 were charged to stockholders’ equity. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has made reimbursement payments of $4,068,777 to the Advisor for O&O Costs incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected and qualified to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Generally, the Company will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent of its distributions to stockholders and as long as certain asset, income, share ownership, minimum distribution and other requirements are met. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must annually distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet certain other requirements. Under certain circumstances, federal income and excise taxes may be due on its undistributed taxable income. The Company may also be subject to certain state and local taxes. If the Company fails to meet these requirements, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, which could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and amounts available for distributions to its stockholders.

The Company provides for uncertain tax positions based upon management’s assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Management is required to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Because assumptions are used in determining whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities, actual results may differ from the Company’s estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in “Provision for income taxes” in the consolidated statement of operations.

Earnings Per Share

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is determined by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common stock equivalents. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no material common stock equivalents that would have a dilutive effect on net income (loss) per share for common stockholders. All classes of common stock are allocated net income (loss) at the same rate per share.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, both basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.14). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, basic and diluted net loss per share was $(0.05) and $(0.39).

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires financial assets that are measured at amortized cost to be presented, net of an allowance for credit losses, at the amount expected to be collected over their estimated life. Expected credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as changes to credit losses during the period, are recognized in earnings. For certain purchased financial assets with deterioration in credit quality since origination (“PCD assets”), the initial allowance for expected credit losses will be recorded as an increase to the purchase price. Expected credit losses, including losses on off-balance-sheet exposures such as lending commitments, will be measured based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, to clarify that operating lease receivables accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, are not in the scope of the new credit losses guidance, and, instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The ASU makes changes to the guidance introduced or amended by ASU No. 2016-13 to clarify the scope of the credit losses standard and address guidance related to accrued interest receivable balances, recoveries, variable interest rates and prepayments, among other issues. The ASU also amends guidance in ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, and ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. With respect to amendments to ASU No. 2017-12, the guidance addresses partial-term fair value hedges, fair value hedge basis adjustments, and certain transition requirements, along with other issues. In addition, in May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief. The amendments in this ASU allow entities, upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, to irrevocably elect the fair value option for financial instruments that were previously carried at amortized cost and are eligible for the fair value option under ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments: Overall. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) Effective Dates. Pursuant to this ASU, the effective date of the new credit losses standard was deferred, and the new credit impairment guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2023. In addition, in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The amendments in this ASU require entities to include certain expected recoveries of the amortized cost basis previously written off, or expected to be written off, in the allowance for credit losses for PCD assets; provide transition relief related to troubled debt restructurings; allow entities to exclude accrued interest amounts from certain required disclosures; and clarify the requirements for applying the collateral maintenance practical expedient. The amendments in ASUs No. 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10 and 2019-11 are required to be adopted concurrently with the guidance in ASU No. 2016-13. The Company adopted the standards on their required effective date beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of the new guidance did not have an impact on the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. This ASU makes narrow-scope amendments related to various aspects pertaining to financial instruments and related disclosures by clarifying or improving the Codification. Certain guidance became effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2020, and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the guidance related to credit losses on the required effective date beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of the new credit losses guidance did not have an impact on the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The guidance is designed to provide relief from the accounting analysis and impacts that may otherwise be required for modifications to agreements (e.g., loans, debt securities, derivatives, and borrowings) necessitated by reference rate reform as entities transition away from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. This ASU also provides optional expedients to enable companies to continue to apply hedge accounting to certain hedging relationships impacted by reference rate reform. Application of the guidance is optional and only available in certain situations. The ASU is effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope. The amendments in this standard are elective and principally apply to entities that have derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform (referred to as the “discounting transition”). The standard expands the scope of ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform and allows entities to elect optional expedients to derivative contracts impacted by the discounting transition. Similar to ASU No. 2020-04, provisions of this ASU are effective upon issuance and generally could be applied through December 31, 2022. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company elected to apply the practical expedients to modifications of qualifying contracts as continuation of the existing contract rather than as a new contract. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The standard is expected to reduce complexity and improve comparability of financial reporting associated with accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity. The ASU also enhances information transparency by making targeted improvements to the related disclosures guidance. Additionally, the amendments affect the diluted EPS calculation for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares and for convertible instruments. The Company adopted the standard on the required effective date beginning January 1, 2024, and it was applied using a modified retrospective method of transition. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. The standard improves the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the recognition of an acquired contract liability, as well as payment terms and their effect on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The ASU requires companies to apply guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers acquired in a business combination, and, thus, creates an exception to the general recognition and measurement principle in ASC 805, Business Combinations. The Company adopted the standard on the required effective date beginning January 1, 2024, using a prospective transition method for business combinations occurring on or after the effective date. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The guidance is intended to improve the decision usefulness of information provided to investors about certain loan refinancing, restructurings, and write-offs. The standard eliminates the recognition and measurement guidance on TDRs for creditors after they have adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and requires them to make enhanced disclosures about loan modifications for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The Company adopted the standard on the required effective date beginning January 1, 2023. The guidance for recognition and measurement of TDRs was applied using a prospective transition method, and the amendments related to disclosures were applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting provided optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The ASU was effective upon issuance and could be applied through December 31, 2022. Because the current relief in ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform may not cover a period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the amendments in ASU No. 2022-06 defer the sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in ASC 848. The ASU is effective upon issuance. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements—Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The standard is expected to clarify or improve disclosure and presentation requirements of a variety of Codification Topics, allow users to more easily compare entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosures with those entities that were not previously subject to the requirements, and align the requirements in the Codification with the SEC’s regulations. The effective date for the guidance will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. If by June 30, 2027 the SEC has not removed the applicable requirements from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective for any entity. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The guidance was issued in response to requests from investors for companies to disclose more information about their financial performance at the segment level. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies its operating segments, aggregates them or applies the quantitative thresholds to determine its reportable segments. The standard will require a public entity to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an annual and interim basis, and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment will be required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures currently required under ASC 280. The new guidance will become effective for the Company’s financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2024 and for the interim periods beginning on January 1, 2025, will require retrospective presentation, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements. The Conceptual Framework establishes concepts that the Board considers in developing standards. The ASU was issued to remove references to the Conceptual Framework in the Codification. The FASB noted that references to the Concepts Statements in the Codification could have implied that the Concepts Statements are authoritative. Also, some of the references removed were to Concepts Statements that are superseded. The new guidance will become effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2025, can be applied either retrospectively to all periods presented or prospectively to all new transactions recognized on or after the adoption date, and early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new standard on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The SEC recently adopted the final rules, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors that will require registrants to provide climate-related disclosures in a note to the audited financial statements. The disclosures will include certain effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions, including the aggregate amounts and where in the financial statements they are presented. If carbon offsets or renewable energy credits or certificates ("RECs") are deemed a material component of the registrant’s plans to achieve its disclosed climate-related targets, registrants will be required to disclose information about the offsets and RECs. Registrants will also be required to disclose whether and how (1) exposures to risks and uncertainties associated with, or known impacts from, severe weather events and other natural conditions and (2) any disclosed climate-related targets or transition plans materially impacted the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the financial statements. Finally, registrants will be required to disclose additional contextual information about the above disclosures, including how each financial statement effect was derived and the accounting policy decisions made to calculate the effects, for the most recently completed fiscal year and, if previously disclosed or required to be disclosed, for the historical fiscal year for which audited consolidated financial statements are included in the filing. Subsequent to the issuance, the SEC has released an order staying the final rules pending judicial review of all of the petitions challenging the rules. Absent the stay, the rules would have been effective for the Company on May 28, 2024 and phased in starting in 2027. Management is currently monitoring the developments pertaining to the final rules and any resulting potential impacts on the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.
