Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests | Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading. The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2015 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary in the opinion of management to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Parent Company’s 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Operating Partnership's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto filed by the Parent Company on its Current Report on Form 8-K on March 11, 2015. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis. Components of Investment Properties The Company’s investment properties as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 consisted of the following components: Balance at September 30, December 31, Investment properties, at cost: Land $ 814,306 $ 778,780 Buildings and improvements 2,995,003 2,785,780 Furniture, equipment and other 6,802 6,398 Land held for development 34,975 35,907 Construction in progress 129,800 125,883 $ 3,980,886 $ 3,732,748 Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures The accompanying financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are controlled and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, (b) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (c) has equity investors whose votes are disproportionate from their economics and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights. The Operating Partnership consolidates properties that are wholly owned as well as properties it controls but in which it owns less than a 100% interest. Control of a property is demonstrated by, among other factors: • our ability to refinance debt and sell the property without the consent of any other partner or owner; • the inability of any other partner or owner to replace the Operating Partnership as manager of the property; or • being the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The primary beneficiary is defined as the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As of September 30, 2015 , we owned an investment in one joint venture that is a VIE in which we are the primary beneficiary. As of this date, the VIE had total debt of $56.8 million , which is secured by assets of the VIE totaling $107.3 million . The Operating Partnership guarantees the debt of the VIE. We consider all relationships between the Operating Partnership and the VIE, including the development agreement, the management agreement and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE's performance. We also periodically reassess primary beneficiary status of this VIE. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 , there were no changes to our conclusions regarding whether an entity qualifies as a VIE or whether we are the primary beneficiary of any previously identified VIE. Income Taxes and REIT Compliance Parent Company The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status. We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Operating Partnership The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with its taxable REIT subsidiary. Noncontrolling Interests We report the non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to these noncontrolling interests is set forth separately in the consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows: 2015 2014 Noncontrolling interests balance January 1 $ 3,364 $ 3,548 Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests, 84 103 Distributions to noncontrolling interests (87 ) (287 ) Acquisition of partner's interest in Beacon Hill (2,353 ) — Noncontrolling interests balance at September 30 $ 1,008 $ 3,364 Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Limited Partners We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because we may be required to pay cash to holders of Limited Partner Units upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership or deliver registered shares upon their conversion. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value. We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after preferred dividends and noncontrolling interests in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest. We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each reporting period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership or redemption value. This adjustment is reflected in our shareholders’ and Parent Company's equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2015 2014 2015 2014 Parent Company’s weighted average basic interest in 97.8 % 98.1 % 97.9 % 96.8 % Limited partners' weighted average basic interests in 2.2 % 1.9 % 2.1 % 3.2 % At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.8% and 2.2% and 98.1% and 1.9% , respectively. Concurrent with the Parent Company’s initial public offering and related formation transactions, certain individuals received Limited Partner Units of the Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties. These Limited Partners were granted the right to redeem Limited Partner Units on or after August 16, 2005 for cash or, at the Parent Company's election, common shares of the Parent Company in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company at the time of redemption. Such common shares must be registered, which is not fully in the Parent Company’s control. Therefore, the Limited Partners’ interest is not reflected in permanent equity. The Parent Company also has the right to redeem the Limited Partner Units directly from the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of its common shares equal to the number of Limited Partner Units being redeemed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, 7,000 and 4,500 Limited Partner Units were exchanged for the same number of common shares of the Parent Company. There were 1,912,278 and 1,639,443 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 2014 is due to the conversion of 274,835 restricted shares owned by our executive officers to Limited Partner Units in the second quarter of 2015. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries Prior to the Merger, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in three joint ventures that indirectly own those properties. The Class B units remain outstanding subsequent to the Merger with Inland Diversified and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in these properties. The Class B units will become redeemable at our applicable partner’s election at future dates generally beginning in March 2017 or October 2022 based on the applicable joint venture and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria. Beginning in June 2018 and November 2022, with respect to our Territory Portfolio and Crossing at Killingly joint ventures, respectively, the applicable Class B units can be redeemed at either our applicable partner’s or our election for cash or Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership. None of the issued Class B units have a maturity date and none are mandatorily redeemable. On February 13, 2015, we acquired our partner’s redeemable interest in the City Center operating property and other non-redeemable rights and interests held by our partner for $34.4 million . We funded this acquisition with a $30 million draw on our unsecured revolving credit facility and the remainder in Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership. As a result of this transaction, our guarantee of a $26.6 million loan on behalf of LC White Plains Retail, LLC and LC White Plains Recreation, LLC was terminated. We consolidate each of the above-mentioned joint ventures because we control the decision making of each of the joint ventures and our joint venture partners have limited protective rights. We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay cash to Class B unitholders in specific subsidiaries upon redemption of their interests. The carrying amount of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is required to be reflected at the greater of initial book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the redemption amounts of these interests did not exceed the fair value of each interest. As of September 30, 2015 , the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests did not exceed the initial book value. The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were as follows: 2015 2014 Redeemable noncontrolling interests balance January 1 $ 125,082 $ 43,928 Acquired redeemable noncontrolling interests from merger — 69,356 Acquisition of partner's interest in City Center operating property (33,998 ) — Net income allocable to redeemable noncontrolling interests 1,541 118 Distributions declared to redeemable noncontrolling interests (2,810 ) (1,946 ) Other, net (2,858 ) (1,902 ) Total limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership and other redeemable noncontrolling interests balance at September 30 $ 86,957 $ 109,554 Limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership $ 46,166 $ 40,198 Other redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries 40,791 69,356 Total limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership and other redeemable noncontrolling interests balance at September 30 $ 86,957 $ 109,554 The following sets forth accumulated other comprehensive loss allocable to noncontrolling interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 : 2015 2014 Accumulated comprehensive (loss) income balance at January 1 $ (24 ) $ 69 Other comprehensive loss allocable to redeemable 1 (119 ) (47 ) Accumulated comprehensive (loss) income balance at September 30 $ (143 ) $ 22 ____________________ 1 Represents the noncontrolling interests’ share of the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges (see Note 5). Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-9”). ASU 2014-9 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing GAAP revenue recognition guidance. It will also affect the existing GAAP guidance governing the sale of nonfinancial assets. The new standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. In doing so, companies will need to exercise more judgment and make more estimates than under existing GAAP guidance. ASU 2014-9 was to be effective for public entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted, but in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date , which delays the effective date of ASU 2014-9 for one year. ASU 2014-9 allows for either recognizing the cumulative effect of application (i) at the start of the earliest comparative period presented (with the option to use any or all of three practical expedients) or (ii) at the date of initial application, with no restatement of comparative periods presented. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of ASU 2014-9 on our ongoing financial reporting. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest- Imputation of Interest ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 will require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. We expect this new guidance will reduce total assets and total debt on our consolidated balance sheet by amounts currently classified as deferred issuance costs, but we do not expect this update to have any other material effect on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest- Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements- Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting ( "ASU 2015-15" ). ASU 2015-15 was issued as a result of ASU 2015-03 not addressing presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. ASU 2015-15 provides the option to present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. As this is already the current practice of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, we do not expect this update to have any effect on our consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. ASU 2015-16 will eliminate the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer must recognize measurement-period adjustments in the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, on our consolidated financial statements. |
