The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-03”) effective January 1, 2020. Receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of these receivables should be accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 842 “Leases” (“ASC Topic 842”). The adoption of ASU 2016-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
The Company assesses the likelihood of losses resulting from tenant defaults, or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments at each reporting date. The Company also monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on a continuous basis. If the likelihood of a tenant paying its lease payments is determined to no longer be probable, all tenant receivables, including deferred rent, are written off against revenue and any future revenue for that tenant is recognized only upon receipt of cash. In addition, a portfolio level reserve is established on those leases that are probable of collection to ensure that the tenant lease receivables are not overstated.
