SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC regarding interim financial reporting, including the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statements for the interim periods presented include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. Results for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full year results. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 , and related notes thereto, set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . The condensed consolidated financial statements should also be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries and the Consolidated Joint Venture in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluates its relationships and investments to determine if it has variable interests. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether such interest is in a variable interest entity (“VIE”). VIEs are entities where investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or where equity investors, as a group, lack one of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, (b) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (c) the right to receive the expected returns of the entity. The Company consolidates any VIEs when it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE’s operations. For legal entities being evaluated for consolidation, the Company must first determine whether the interests that it holds and fees it receives qualify as variable interests in the entity. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses or receive portions of the entity’s expected residual returns. The Company’s evaluation includes consideration of fees paid to the Company where the Company acts as a decision maker or service provider to the entity being evaluated. If the Company determines that it holds a variable interest in an entity, it evaluates whether that entity is a VIE. A VIE must be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is generally defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The Company qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Consideration of various factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and its obligation to absorb losses from or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates any VIEs when the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and the difference between consolidating the VIE and accounting for it using the equity method could be material to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company continually evaluates the need to consolidate any VIEs based on standards set forth in GAAP as described above. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , the Company determined that it had a controlling interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture and therefore met the GAAP requirements for consolidation. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. In November 2018, the SEC finalized the Disclosure Update Simplification Project, which eliminated Rule 3-15(a)(1) reporting of Gain or Loss on Sale of Properties by REITs. To conform with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment and the SEC rule change, the Company has classified the gain on dispositions of real estate assets, net as operating income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. This change resulted in an increase in operating income of $264,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . In connection with the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016–02, Leases (Topic 842) , as defined in “Recent Accounting Pronouncements,” during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company is combining rental income of $93.9 million and tenant reimbursement income of $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 into a single line item, rental and other property income, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, the Company is combining bad debt expense of $431,000 and straight-line rental income of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 into a single line item, straight-line rental income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Real Estate Assets Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company considers the period of future benefit of each respective asset to determine the appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of the Company’s real estate assets by class are generally as follows: Buildings 40 years Site improvements 15 years Tenant improvements Lesser of useful life or lease term Intangible lease assets Lease term Recoverability of Real Estate Assets 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; changes in anticipated holding periods; 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , as part of the Company’s quarterly impairment review procedures, the Company recorded impairment charges of $20.1 million related to seven properties with revised expected holding periods. The Company’s impairment assessment as of March 31, 2019 was based on the most current information available to the Company, including expected holding periods. If the Company’s expected holding periods for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in additional impairment charges in the future. The Company cannot provide any assurance that material impairment charges with respect to the Company’s real estate assets will not occur during 2019 or in future periods. No impairment indicators were identified and no impairment losses were recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018 . The assumptions and uncertainties utilized in the evaluation of the impairment of real estate assets are discussed in detail in Note 3 — Fair Value Measurements. See also Note 4 — Real Estate Assets for further discussion regarding real estate investment activity. Over the next 12-24 months, the Company expects to sell a portion of its anchored shopping center portfolio and certain single tenant properties. These will be sold in pools or on a standalone basis. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company intended to sell properties with a net book value of at least $2.0 billion, subject to market conditions. Assets Held for Sale When a real estate asset is identified by the Company as held for sale, the Company will cease recording depreciation and amortization of the assets related to the property and estimate its fair value, net of selling costs. If, in management’s opinion, the fair value, net of selling costs, of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying amount is then recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property, net of selling costs. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company identified two properties with a carrying value of $20.7 million as held for sale, both of which were sold subsequent to March 31, 2019 , as discussed in Note 15 — Subsequent Events. As of December 31, 2018 , the Company identified one property with a carrying value of $6.8 million as held for sale, which was sold subsequent to December 31, 2018 . Disposition of Real Estate Assets Gains and losses from dispositions are recognized once the various criteria relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the asset sold are met. A discontinued operation includes only the disposal of a component of an entity and represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results. The disposition of the Company’s individual properties did not qualify for discontinued operations presentation, and, thus, the results of the properties that were sold will remain in operating income, and any associated gains or losses from the disposition are included in gain on disposition of real estate, net. Allocation of Purchase Price of Real Estate Assets Upon the acquisition of real 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- and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases and other intangibles, 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 determination of the fair values of the real estate assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant 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. All real estate acquisitions in the periods presented qualified as asset acquisitions, and as such, acquisition–related fees and certain acquisition–related expenses related to these asset acquisitions were capitalized and allocated to tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, as described above. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Joint Venture On June 27, 2014 , the Company completed the formation of the Consolidated Joint Venture. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the joint venture partner has a right to exercise an option (the “Option”), which became effective on June 27, 2016 , whereby the Company will be required to purchase the ownership interest of the joint venture partner at fair market value. As of March 31, 2019 , the Option has not been exercised. The Compa ny determined it had a controlling interest in the Consolidated Joint Venture and, therefore, met the GAAP requirements for consolidation. The Company recorded net income of $34,000 and paid distributions of $72,000 related to the noncontrolling interest during the three months ended March 31, 2019 . The Company recorded the noncontrolling interest of $2.2 million and $2.3 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, as temporary equity in the mezzanine section of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, due to the ability to exercise the Option being outside the control of the Company. Restricted Cash The Company had $9.9 million and $9.1 million in restricted cash as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Included in restricted cash was $3.8 million and $3.4 million held by lenders in lockbox accounts, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. As part of certain debt agreements, rents from certain encumbered properties are deposited directly into a lockbox account, from which the monthly debt service payment is disbursed to the lender and the excess is disbursed to the Company. Also included in restricted cash was $6.1 million and $5.7 million held by lenders in escrow accounts for real estate taxes and other lender reserves for certain properties, in accordance with the associated lender’s loan agreement, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Loans Held-for-Investment The Company has acquired, and may continue to acquire, loans related to real estate assets. The Company may acquire first, second and third mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, bridge loans, wraparound mortgage loans, construction mortgage loans on real property and loans on leasehold interest mortgages. The Company intends to hold the loans held-for-investment for the foreseeable future or until maturity. Loans held-for-investment are carried on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of any allowance for loans receivable losses. Discounts or premiums, origination fees and exit fees are amortized as a component of interest income using the effective interest method over the life of the respective loans. Loan acquisition fees paid to CR IV Management or its affiliates are expensed as incurred and are included in transaction-related expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest earned is either received in cash or capitalized to loans held-for-investment, net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest is capitalized when certain conditions are met as specified in each loan agreement. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recorded $4.5 million in interest income, of which $2.6 million was capitalized to loans held-for-investment, net. Generally, an allowance for loan losses is provided when management determines that the Company will be unable to collect any remaining amounts due under the loan agreement. The Company evaluates the collectability of its loans held-for-investment at least quarterly. The evaluation of collectability involves judgment, estimates, and a review of the ability of the borrower to make principal and interest payments and the underlying collateral. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the Company recorded no impairment on its loans held-for-investment. Leases The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company has elected to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all classes of underlying assets (primarily real estate assets) and will account for the combined components as rental and other property income. Non-lease components included in rental and other property income include certain tenant reimbursements for maintenance services (including common-area maintenance services or “CAM”), real estate taxes, insurance and utilities paid for by the lessor but consumed by the lessee. As a lessor, the Company has further determined that this policy will be effective only on a lease that has been classified as an operating lease and the revenue recognition pattern and timing is the same for both types of components. Therefore, ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), will be applied to these lease contracts for both types of components. The Company does not have material leases where it is the lessee. Significant judgments and assumptions are inherent in not only determining if a contract contains a lease but also the lease classification, terms, payments, and, if needed, discount rates. Judgments include the nature of any options, such as if they will be exercised, evaluation of implicit discount rates and the assessment and consideration of “fixed” payments for straight-line rent revenue calculations. The Company has an investment in a real estate property that is subject to a ground lease, for which a lease liability and right of use (“ROU”) asset of $2.7 million was recorded. See Note 14 — Leases for a further discussion regarding this ground lease. Lease costs represent the initial direct costs incurred in origination, negotiation and processing of a lease agreement. Such costs include outside broker commissions and other independent third-party costs and are amortized over the life of the lease on a straight-line basis. Costs related to salaries and benefits, supervision, administration, unsuccessful origination efforts and other activities not directly related to completed lease agreements are expensed as incurred. Leasing commissions subsequent to successful lease execution are capitalized. Revenue Recognition Revenue from leasing activities Rental and other property income is primarily derived from fixed contractual payments from operating leases and, therefore, is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which typically begins the date the tenant takes control of the space. When the Company acquires a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purpose of this calculation. Variable rental and other property income consists primarily of tenant reimbursements for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses which are included in rental and other property income in the period when such costs are incurred, with offsetting expenses in real estate taxes and property operating expenses, respectively, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company defers the recognition of variable rental and other property income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. The Company continually reviews lease-related receivables, including any straight-line rent, and current and future operating expense reimbursements from tenants, and determines their collectability by taking into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates and economic conditions in the area in which the property is located. Upon the determination that the collectability of a receivable is not probable, the Company will record a reduction to rental and other property income for amounts previously recorded and a decrease in the outstanding receivable. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability becomes probable. Management’s estimate of the collectability of lease-related receivables is based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation. Revenue from lending activities Interest income is comprised of interest earned on loans and the accretion and amortization of net loan origination fees and discounts. Interest income on loans is accrued as earned. Recent Accounting Pronouncements From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by various standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. Except as otherwise stated below, the Company is currently evaluating the effect that certain new accounting requirements may have on the Company’s accounting and related reporting and disclosures in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). The Company used the optional alternative transition method upon adoption of the new standard on January 1, 2019 and used the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information was not updated and the disclosures required under the new standard are not provided for dates and periods before January 1, 2019. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients,” which permits the Company to not reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 has not had a material impact on the accounting treatment and disclosure of the Company’s net leases, which are the primary source of the Company’s revenues. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2016-13”), which was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”), in November 2018. ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting requiring more timely recognition of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investment in leases and other such commitments. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require the Company to measure all expected credit losses based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets and eliminates the “incurred loss” methodology under current GAAP. ASU 2018-19 clarified that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Topic 326. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amendment will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). This ASU amends and removes several disclosure requirements including the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 also modifies some disclosure requirements and requires additional disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and requires the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The provisions of ASU 2018-13 are effective January 1, 2020 using a prospective transition method for amendments effecting changes in unrealized gains and losses, significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and narrative description on uncertainty of measurements. The remaining provisions of the ASU are to be applied retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU’s adoption, and does not believe this ASU will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-16, Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (“ASU 2018-16”). The amendments in this ASU permit the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. The SOFR is a volume-weighted median interest rate that is calculated daily based on overnight transactions from the prior day’s activity in specified segments of the U.S. Treasury repo market. It has been selected as the preferred replacement for the U.S. dollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), which will be phased out by the end of 2021. ASU 2018-16 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2018-16 is required to be adopted on a prospective basis for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after the date of adoption. The Company currently uses LIBOR as its benchmark interest rate in the Company’s interest rate swaps associated with the Company’s LIBOR-based variable rate borrowings. The Company has not entered into any new or redesignated hedging relationships on or after the date of adoption of ASU 2018-16; as such, the Company is currently evaluating the potential effect this new benchmark interest rate option will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities . The guidance changes the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. Under the new ASU, indirect interests held through related parties under common control will now be considered on a proportional basis when determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. Such indirect interests were previously treated the same as direct interests. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. |
