| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
| Dec. 31, 2015 |
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation | The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, REIT Holdings, the Operating Partnership and their direct and indirect wholly owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and the rules and regulations of the SEC. |
| Use of Estimates | The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. |
| Reclassifications | Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2015-03 (defined below). As a result, the Company has reclassified debt issuance costs associated with a debt liability from prepaid expenses and other assets to notes payable, net on the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. |
| Revenue Recognition, Hotel | The Company’s hotel revenues are comprised of hotel operating revenues, such as room, food and beverage, and revenue from other hotel income (such as telephone, parking and business centers). These revenues are recorded net of any sales or occupancy taxes collected from our guests, as earned. All rebates or discounts are recorded, when allowed, as a reduction in revenue, and there are no material contingent obligations with respect to rebates or discounts offered by us. All revenues are recorded on an accrual basis, as earned. The Company leases recreational vehicle campground units under operating leases with terms generally of one year or less. The Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, when collectibility is reasonably assured. |
| Revenue Recognition, Real Estate | The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectibility is reasonably assured and records amounts expected to be received in later years as deferred rent receivable. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance (including amounts that can be taken in the form of cash or a credit against the tenant’s rent) that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to: • whether the lease stipulates how a tenant improvement allowance may be spent; • whether the amount of a tenant improvement allowance is in excess of market rates; • whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term; • whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general purpose in nature; and • whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease. The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred. The Company makes estimates of the collectibility of its tenant receivables related to base rents, including deferred rent, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. Management specifically analyzes accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable, historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, management makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectibility of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. When a tenant is in bankruptcy, the Company will record a bad debt reserve for the tenant’s receivable balance and generally will not recognize subsequent rental revenue until cash is received or until the tenant is no longer in bankruptcy and has the ability to make rental payments. |
| Revenue Recognition, Real Estate Loans Receivable | Interest income on the Company’s real estate loans receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the life of the investment using the interest method. Direct loan origination or acquisition fees and costs, as well as acquisition premiums or discounts, are amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. The Company places loans on non-accrual status when any portion of principal or interest is 90 days past due, or earlier when concern exists as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, the Company reserves for any unpaid accrued interest and generally does not recognize subsequent interest income until cash is received, or the loan returns to accrual status. The Company will resume the accrual of interest if it determines the collection of interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan, is probable. The Company generally recognizes income on impaired loans on either a cash basis, where interest income is only recorded when received in cash, or on a cost-recovery basis, where all cash receipts are applied against the carrying value of the loan. The Company considers the collectibility of the loan’s principal balance in determining whether to recognize income on impaired loans on a cash basis or a cost-recovery basis. |
| Revenue Recognition, Real Estate Securities | The Company will recognize interest income on real estate securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets and are rated “AA” and above on an accrual basis according to the contractual terms of the securities. Discounts or premiums will be amortized to interest income over the life of the investment using the interest method. The Company will recognize interest income on real estate securities that are beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are rated below “AA” using the effective yield method, which will require the Company to periodically project estimated cash flows related to these securities and recognize interest income at an interest rate equivalent to the estimated yield on the security, as calculated using the security’s estimated cash flows and amortized cost basis, or reference amount. Changes in the estimated cash flows will be recognized through an adjustment to the yield on the security on a prospective basis. Projecting cash flows for these types of securities will require significant judgment, which may have a significant impact on the timing of revenue recognized on these investments. |
| Revenue Recognition, Cash and Cash Equivalents | The Company recognizes interest income on its cash and cash equivalents as it is earned and records such amounts as other interest income. |
| Real Estate, Depreciation and Amortization | Real estate costs related to the acquisition and improvement of properties are capitalized and amortized over the expected useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate asset. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. Expenditures for tenant improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the tenant’s lease term or expected useful life. The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class to be generally as follows: Buildings 25-40 years Building Improvements 10-25 years Tenant Improvements Shorter of lease term or expected useful life Tenant Origination and Absorption Costs Remaining term of related leases, including below-market renewal periods Advance Booking Intangible 1 year Furniture, fixtures & equipment 3-12 years |
| Real Estate, Real Estate Acquisition Valuation | The Company records the acquisition of income-producing real estate as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. Real estate obtained in satisfaction of a loan will be recorded at the estimated fair value of the real estate or the fair value of the loan satisfied if more clearly evident. The excess of the carrying value of the loan over the fair value of the property, if any, will be charged-off against the reserve for loan losses when title to the property is obtained. Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated value of the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. Acquired in-place lease value are amortized to expense over the average remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective in-place leases, including any below-market renewal periods. Intangible assets also include the estimated value of advance bookings for hotels, which are recorded at a discounted present value based on estimated collectibility and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period the amounts are expected to be collected. The Company assesses the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, generally utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis that applies appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The Company records above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of above-market in-place leases and for the initial term plus any extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. The Company will amortizes any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease, including any below-market renewal periods. The Company estimates the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. The Company amortizes the value of tenant origination and absorption costs to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining non-cancelable term of each respective lease. Subsequent to the acquisition of a property, the Company may incur and capitalize costs necessary to get the property ready for its intended use. During that time, certain costs such as legal fees, real estate taxes and insurance and financing costs are also capitalized. Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require the Company to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the Company’s acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of the Company’s net income. Direct investments in undeveloped land or properties without leases in place at the time of acquisition will be accounted for as an asset acquisition and not as a business combination. Acquisition fees and expenses are capitalized into the cost basis of an asset acquisition. Additionally, during the time in which the Company is incurring costs necessary to bring these investments to their intended use, certain costs such as legal fees, real estate taxes and insurance and financing costs are also capitalized. |
| Real Estate, Impairments of Real Estate and Related Intangible Assets and Liabilities | The Company continually monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable or realized. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities may not be recoverable, the Company assesses the recoverability by estimating whether the Company will recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, the Company does not believe that it will be able to recover the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities, the Company will record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities. The Company did not record any impairment losses on its real estate and related intangible assets during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. Projecting future cash flows involves estimating expected future operating income and expenses related to the real estate and its related intangible assets and liabilities as well as market and other trends. Using inappropriate assumptions to estimate cash flows could result in incorrect fair values of the real estate and its related intangible assets and liabilities and could result in the overstatement of the carrying values of the Company’s real estate and related intangible assets and liabilities and an overstatement of its net income. |
| Real Estate Loans Receivables and Loan Loss Reserves | The Company’s real estate loans receivable are recorded at amortized cost, net of loan loss reserves (if any), and evaluated for impairment at each balance sheet date. The amortized cost of a real estate loan receivable is the outstanding unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized acquisition premiums or discounts and unamortized costs and fees directly associated with the origination or acquisition of the loan. The amount of impairment, if any, will be measured by comparing the amortized cost of the loan to the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent and collection of principal and interest is not assured. If a loan is deemed to be impaired, the Company will record a loan loss reserve and a provision for loan losses to recognize impairment. A reserve for loan losses is a valuation allowance that reflects management’s estimate of loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. Reserve for loan losses will be adjusted through “Provision for loan losses” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and decreased by charge-offs to specific loans when losses are confirmed. The Company will consider a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If the Company purchases a loan at a discount to face value and at the acquisition date the Company expects to collect less than the contractual amounts due under the terms of the loan based, at least in part, on the Company’s assessment of the credit quality of the borrower, the Company will consider such a loan to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it believes that it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts the Company estimated to be collected at the time of acquisition. The Company will also consider a loan to be impaired if it grants the borrower a concession through a modification of the loan terms or if it expects to receive assets (including equity interests in the borrower) with fair values that are less than the carrying value of the loan in satisfaction of the loan. A reserve will be established when the present value of payments expected to be received, observable market prices, the estimated fair value of the collateral (for loans that are dependent on the collateral for repayment) or amounts expected to be received in satisfaction of a loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no loan loss reserve and the Company did not record any impairment related to its real estate loan receivable for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. However, in the future, the Company may experience losses from its investment in loan receivable requiring the Company to record a loan loss reserve. Realized losses could be material and significantly exceed any recorded reserves. Failure to recognize impairments would result in the overstatement of earnings and the carrying value of the Company’s real estate loans held for investment. Actual losses, if any, could significantly differ from estimated amounts. |
| Real Estate Securities | The Company may invest in securities that it expects to classify as available-for-sale, since the Company may sell them prior to their maturity but does not hold them principally for the purpose of making frequent investments and sales with the objective of generating profits on short-term differences in price. These investments will be carried at estimated fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Estimated fair values will generally be based on quoted market prices, when available, or on estimates provided by independent pricing sources or dealers who make markets in such securities. In certain circumstances, such as when the market for the securities becomes inactive, the Company may determine it is appropriate to perform an internal valuation of the securities. Upon the sale of a security, the previously recognized unrealized gain (loss) would be reversed out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the actual realized gain (loss) recognized in earnings. On a quarterly basis, the Company will evaluate its real estate securities for other-than-temporary impairment. The Company will review the projected future cash flows from these securities for changes in assumptions due to prepayments, credit loss experience and other factors. If, based on the Company’s quarterly estimate of cash flows, there has been an adverse change in the estimated cash flows from the cash flows previously estimated, the present value of the revised cash flows is less than the present value previously estimated, and the fair value of the securities is less than its amortized cost basis, an other-than-temporary impairment will be deemed to have occurred. The Company will be required to distinguish between other-than-temporary impairments related to credit and other-than-temporary impairments related to other factors (e.g., market fluctuations) on its debt securities that it does not intend to sell and where it is not likely that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to the anticipated recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company will calculate the credit component of the other-than-temporary impairment as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and the present value of its estimated cash flows discounted at the yield used to recognize interest income. The credit component will be charged to earnings and the component related to other factors is recorded to other comprehensive income (loss). |
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash and short-term investments. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance exceeded federally insurable limits as of December 31, 2015. The Company mitigates this risk by depositing funds with a major financial institution; however, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. There were no restrictions on the use of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2015 and 2014. |
| Restricted Cash | Restricted cash is comprised of lender impound reserve accounts on the Company’s borrowings for security deposits, property taxes, insurance, debt service obligations and capital improvements and replacements. |
| Rents and Other Receivables | The Company will periodically evaluate the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and hotel guests and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of tenants and hotel guests to make required payments under the terms of lease or hotel agreements. In addition, the Company will maintain an allowance for deferred rent receivable that arises from the straight-lining of rents. The Company will exercise judgment in establishing these allowances and will consider payment history and current credit status of its tenants in developing these estimates. |
| Derivative Instruments | The Company enters into derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge its exposure to cash flow variability caused by changing interest rates on its variable rate notes payable. The Company records these derivative instruments at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The changes in fair value for derivative instruments that are not designated as a hedge or that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria are recorded as a component of interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Derivative instruments 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. The change in fair value of the effective portion of a derivative instrument that is designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded as other comprehensive income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) and consolidated statements of equity. With respect to derivative instruments designated as a hedge, the Company will formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes designating all derivative instruments that are part of a hedging relationship to specific forecasted transactions or recognized obligations on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also assesses and documents, both at the hedging instrument’s inception and on a quarterly basis thereafter, whether the derivative instruments that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows associated with the respective hedged items. When the Company determines that a derivative instrument ceases to be highly effective as a hedge, or that it is probable the underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and reclassifies amounts recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings. |
| Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred financing costs represent commitment fees, loan fees, legal fees and other third-party costs associated with obtaining financing and are presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability. These costs are amortized over the terms of the respective financing agreements using the interest method. Unamortized deferred financing costs are generally expensed when the associated debt is refinanced or repaid before maturity unless specific rules are met that would allow for the carryover of such costs to the refinanced debt. Deferred financing costs incurred before an associated debt liability is recognized are included in prepaid and other assets on the balance sheet. Costs incurred in seeking financing transactions that do not close are expensed in the period in which it is determined that the financing will not close. |
| Fair Value Measurements | Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate loans receivable and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories: • Level 1 : unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities; • Level 2 : quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and • Level 3 : prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines that the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company is illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company will use several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establish a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources. Additionally, when determining the fair value of liabilities in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, the Company will measure fair value using (i) a valuation technique that uses the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities when traded as assets or (ii) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles of fair value measurement, such as the income approach or the market approach. Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (i) there are few recent transactions, (ii) price quotations are not based on current information, (iii) price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (iv) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (v) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the Company’s estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (vi) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (vii) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (viii) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market). The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (i) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (ii) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (iii) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (iv) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities. |
| Redeemable Common Stock | On July 3, 2013, in connection with launching the Private Offering, the Company’s board of directors adopted a share redemption program that may enable stockholders to sell their shares to the Company in limited circumstances. The share redemption program has been amended and restated at various points thereafter: June 26, 2014, May 12, 2015 and February 16, 2016. The share redemption program, as amended is referred to herein as the “Share Redemption Program” and the terms of the Share Redemption Program described below are the terms of the program as currently in effect. There are several limitations on the Company’s ability to redeem shares under the Share Redemption Program: • Unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability” or “determination of incompetence” (each as defined under the Share Redemption Program and collectively “Special Redemptions”), the Company may not redeem a share until the stockholder has held the share for one year. • During each calendar year, the Share Redemption Program limits the number of shares the Company may redeem to those that the Company could purchase with the amount of the net proceeds from the issuance of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Redemption Program provides up to $500,000 in additional funds to redeem a qualifying stockholder’s shares if the shares are being redeemed in connection with a Special Redemption. For purposes of determining the amount of funds available for redemption under the Share Redemption Program, redemptions for a Special Redemption are to be made first from this $500,000 . The Company may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to the program upon ten business days’ notice to the stockholders. • During any calendar year, the Company may redeem no more than 5% of the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. • The Company has no obligation to redeem shares if the redemption would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency. Pursuant to the Share Redemption Program, unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a Special Redemption, until the Company announces an estimated net asset value per share of its common stock, the price at which the Company will redeem the shares is as follows: • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least one year, 92.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company; • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least two years, 95.0% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company; • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least three years, 97.5% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company; and • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least four years, 100% of the price paid to acquire the shares from the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, stock dividends will initially be redeemed at the “net investment amount” per share, which will be based on the “amount available for investment/net investment amount” percentage shown in the Company’s estimated use of proceeds table in the prospectus for the Public Offering. For each class of shares, this amount will initially equal $9.01 per share for redemptions of shares received as a result of a stock dividend. After the Company establishes an estimated net asset value per share of its common stock and unless the shares are being redeemed in connection with a Special Redemption, the price at which the Company will redeem the shares is as follows: • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least one year, 92.5% of the Company’s most recent estimated net asset value per share as of the applicable redemption date; • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least two years, 95.0% of the Company’s most recent estimated net asset value per share as of the applicable redemption date; • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least three years, 97.5% of the Company’s most recent estimated net asset value per share as of the applicable redemption date; and • For those shares held by the redeeming stockholder for at least four years, 100% of the Company’s most recent estimated net asset value per share as of the applicable redemption date. For purposes of determining the time period a redeeming stockholder has held each share, the time period begins as of the date the stockholder acquired the shares; provided, that shares purchased by the redeeming stockholder pursuant to the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan and shares received as a stock dividend will be deemed to have been acquired on the same date as the initial share to which the dividend reinvestment plan shares or stock dividend shares relate. The date of the share’s original issuance by the Company is not determinative. In addition, as described above, the shares owned by a stockholder may be redeemed at different prices depending on how long the stockholder has held each share submitted for redemption. The terms of the Share Redemption Program with respect to Special Redemptions are as follows: • There is no one -year holding requirement; • Until the Company announces an estimated net asset value per share, the redemption price is the amount paid to acquire the shares from the Company; provided that, stock dividends will initially be redeemed at the “net investment amount” per share, which will be based on the “amount available for investment/net investment amount” percentage shown in the estimated use of proceeds table in the prospectus for the Public Offering. For each class of shares, this amount will initially equal $9.01 per share for redemptions of shares received as a result of a stock dividend; and • Once the Company has established an estimated net asset value per share, the redemption price would be the estimated value of the shares, as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The board may amend, suspend or terminate the Share Redemption Program upon 30 days’ notice to stockholders, provided that the Company may increase or decrease the funding available for the redemption of shares pursuant to the share redemption program upon 10 business days’ notice. The Company will record amounts that are redeemable under the Share Redemption Program as redeemable common stock in its consolidated balance sheets because the shares will be mandatorily redeemable at the option of the holder and therefore their redemption will be outside the control of the Company. The maximum amount redeemable under the Company’s Share Redemption Program is limited to the number of shares the Company could redeem with the amount of the net proceeds from the sale of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during the prior calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Share Redemption Program provides up to $500,000 in additional funds to redeem a qualifying stockholder’s shares if the shares are being redeemed in connection with a Special Redemption. For purposes of determining the amount of funds available for redemption under the Share Redemption Program, redemptions for a Special Redemption are to be made first from this $500,000 . However, because the amounts that can be redeemed will be determinable and only contingent on an event that is likely to occur (e.g., the passage of time) the Company will present the net proceeds from the current year and prior year dividend reinvestment plan plus the $500,000 available for Special Redemption, net of current year redemptions, as redeemable common stock in its consolidated balance sheets. The Company will classify as liabilities financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the Company to redeem shares. The Company’s redeemable common shares are contingently redeemable at the option of the holder. When the Company determines it has a mandatory obligation to repurchase shares under the Share Redemption Program, it will reclassify such obligations from temporary equity to a liability based upon their respective settlement values. Based on the amount of net proceeds raised from the sale of shares under the dividend reinvestment plan during 2015 and the $0.5 million set aside for stockholder’s death, qualifying disability or determination of incompetence, the Company has $1.1 million available for all redemptions in 2016, including shares that are redeemed in connection with a Special Redemption. |
| Related Party Transactions | Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, Dealer Manager Agreement and the dealer manager agreement entered in connection with the Private Offering, the Company is or was obligated to pay the Advisor and the Dealer Manager specified fees upon the provision of certain services related to the Public Offering and the Private Offering, the investment of funds in real estate and real estate-related investments, management of the Company’s investments and for other services (including, but not limited to, the disposition of investments). The Company is or was also obligated to reimburse the Advisor and Dealer Manager for organization and offering costs incurred by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager on behalf of the Company, and the Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor for acquisition and origination expenses and certain operating expenses incurred on behalf of the Company or incurred in connection with providing services to the Company. In addition, the Advisor is entitled to certain other fees, including an incentive fee upon achieving certain performance goals, as detailed in the Advisory Agreement. See note 9, “Related Party Transactions.” The Company records all related party fees as incurred, subject to any limitations described in the Advisory Agreement. The Company had not incurred any subordinated participation in net cash flows or subordinated incentive fees payable to the Advisor through December 31, 2015. |
| Related Party Transactions, Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees | Prior to February 17, 2016, the Company paid the Dealer Manager up to 6.5% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold in the Private Offering and the Public Offering as a selling commission. The Dealer Manager reallowed 100% of commissions earned to participating broker-dealers. No sales commission were paid on shares sold through the dividend reinvestment plan. The Company paid the Dealer Manager up to 3.0% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold in the Private Offering and the Public Offering as a dealer manager fee. No dealer manager fee was payable on shares sold under the dividend reinvestment plan. From its dealer manager fee, the Dealer Manager reallowed to any participating broker-dealer up to 1.0% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold in the Private Offering and the Public Offering attributable to that participating broker-dealer as a marketing fee and in special cases the dealer manager could increase the reallowance. A reduced dealer manager fee was payable with respect to certain volume discount sales. On February 17, 2016, the Company and the Dealer Manager entered into an Amended and Restated Dealer Manager Agreement (the “Amended Dealer Manager Agreement”) to provide the terms pursuant to which the Dealer Manager will offer and sell the Company’s Class A and Class T shares of common stock in the Public Offering. Under the Amended Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company will pay selling commissions to the Dealer Manager in amounts up to 6.5% of the price per share of Class A common stock sold and up to 3.0% of the price per share of Class T common stock sold. Additionally, the Company will pay dealer manager fees to the Dealer Manager in an amount up to 2.0% of the price per share of Class A and Class T common stock sold. The Dealer Manager reallows all selling commissions to participating broker dealers and may generally reallow (from its dealer manager fee) to any participating broker dealer up to 1.0% of the gross proceeds from the primary portion of the Public Offering attributable to that participating broker dealer as a marketing fee; in select cases up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds from the primary portion of the Public Offering may be reallowed. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees are payable on shares of common stock sold under the dividend reinvestment plan. Also, under the Amended Dealer Manager Agreement, the Dealer Manager will receive an annual stockholder servicing fee of 1.0% of the purchase price per share (ignoring any discounts that may be available to certain categories of purchasers) of Class T common stock sold in the primary portion of the Public Offering solely to the extent there is a broker dealer of record with respect to such Class T share that has entered a currently effective selected dealer agreement or servicing agreement that provides for the payment to such broker dealer of the stockholder servicing fee with respect to such Class T share, and such broker dealer of record is in compliance with the applicable terms of such selected dealer agreement or servicing agreement related to such payment. To the extent payable, the stockholder servicing fee will accrue daily and be paid monthly in arrears, and the Dealer Manager will reallow 100% of the stockholder servicing fee to such broker dealer of record for services provided to Class T stockholders after the initial sale of the Class T share. In addition, no stockholder servicing fee will be paid with respect to Class T shares purchased through the dividend reinvestment plan or issued pursuant to a stock dividend. The stockholder servicing fee with respect to a Class T share will cease accruing upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the date at which aggregate underwriting compensation from all sources equals 10% of the gross proceeds from the primary offering in which the Class T share was sold, as calculated by the Company with the assistance of the Dealer Manager after the termination of the primary offering in which the Class T share was sold, (ii) with respect to a particular Class T share, on the fourth anniversary of the issuance of the share, (iii) a listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange, (iv) a merger or other extraordinary transaction, and (v) the date the Class T share associated with the stockholder servicing fee is no longer outstanding such as upon its redemption or the Company’s dissolution. |
| Related Party Transactions, Organization and Offering Costs | Organization and offering costs (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and the stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T shares sold in the primary portion of the Public Offering) of the Company may be paid by the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates on behalf of the Company or may be paid directly by the Company. These offering costs include all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Private Offering and the Public Offering. Organization costs include all expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the formation of the Company, including but not limited to legal fees and other costs to incorporate the Company. The Company reimbursed the Dealer Manager for underwriting compensation in connection with the Private Offering. The Company also paid directly or reimbursed the Dealer Manager for due diligence expenses of broker dealers in connection with the Private Offering. During the Private Offering, there was no limit on the amount of organization and offering costs the Company could incur. As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had recorded $1,020,623 of offering costs (other than selling commissions and dealer manager fees) related to the Private Offering, of which $956,834 were paid by the Advisor or its affiliates on behalf of the Company. During the Public Offering, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and Amended Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse the Advisor, the Dealer Manager or their affiliates, as applicable, for organization and other offering costs paid by them on behalf of the Company, provided that no reimbursements made by the Company to the Advisor or the Dealer Manager may cause total organization and offering expenses incurred by the Company (including selling commissions, dealer manager fees, the stockholder servicing fee with respect to Class T shares sold in the primary portion of the Public Offering and all other items of organization and other offering expenses) to exceed 15% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the Public Offering as of the date of reimbursement. In addition, at the termination of the primary portion of the Public Offering, the Advisor and its affiliates will reimburse the Company to the extent that the organization and other offering expenses (which exclude selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) paid directly or reimbursed by the Company in connection with the primary portion of the Public Offering, regardless of when incurred, exceed 1.0% of gross offering proceeds from the primary portion of the Public Offering. The Advisor and its affiliates will be responsible for any organization and other offering expenses related to the primary portion of the Public Offering to the extent they exceed 1.0% of gross proceeds from the primary portion of the Public Offering as of the termination of the primary portion of the Public Offering. Through December 31, 2015 , the Advisor and its affiliates had incurred organization and other offering costs on the Company’s behalf in connection with the Public Offering of approximately $4.9 million . As of December 31, 2015 , the Company has paid or accrued $4.1 million in selling commissions and dealer manager fees and $3.3 million of other organization and offering expenses, which amounts represent the Company’s maximum liability for organization and offering costs as of December 31, 2015 . |
| Related Party Transactions, Acquisition and Origination Fees | The Company pays the Advisor acquisition and origination fees equal to a percentage of the cost of investments acquired or originated by the Company, or the amount to be funded by the Company to acquire or originate loans, including acquisition and origination expenses and any debt attributable to such investments plus significant capital expenditures related to the development, construction or improvement of the investment budgeted as of the date of acquisition. For investments acquired or originated with proceeds raised in the Private Offering or Public Offering on or prior to February 16, 2016, this percentage is 1.5% . For investments acquired or originated with proceeds raised in the Public Offering after February 16, 2016, this percentage is 2.6% . The Company will reimburse the Advisor or its affiliates for customary acquisition and origination expenses (including expenses relating to potential investments that do not close), such as legal fees and expenses (including fees of independent contractor in-house counsel that are not employees of the Advisor), costs of due diligence (including, as necessary, updated appraisals, surveys and environmental site assessments), travel and communication expenses, accounting fees and expenses and other closing costs and miscellaneous expenses relating to the acquisition or origination of real estate-related loans, opportunistic real estate, real estate-related debt securities and other real estate-related investments. |
| Related Party Transactions, Asset Management Fee | The Company will pay the Advisor a monthly fee equal to the lesser of one-twelfth of (i) 1.0% of the cost of its investments and (ii) 2.0% of the sum of the cost of its investments, less any debt secured by or attributable to the investments. The cost of the real property investments will be calculated as the amount paid or allocated to acquire the real property, including the cost of any subsequent development, construction or improvements to the property and including fees and expenses related thereto (but excluding acquisition fees paid or payable to the Advisor). The cost of the loans and any investments other than real property will be calculated as the lesser of (x) the amount actually paid or allocated to acquire or fund the loan or other investment, including fees and expenses related thereto (but excluding acquisition fees paid or payable to the Advisor) and (y) the outstanding principal amount of such loan or other investment, including fees and expenses related to the acquisition or funding of such investment (but excluding acquisition fees paid or payable to the Advisor) as of the time of calculation. In the case of investments made through joint ventures, the asset management fee will be determined based on the Company’s proportionate share of the underlying investment. |
| Related Party Transactions, Disposition Fee | For substantial assistance in connection with the sale of investments, the Company will pay the Advisor or its affiliates a percentage of the contract sales price of each loan, debt-related security, real property or other investment sold (including residential or commercial mortgage-backed securities or collateralized debt obligations issued by a subsidiary of ours as part of a securitization transaction) as a disposition fee. For dispositions with a contract sales price less than or equal to $50 million , the disposition fee will equal 1.5% of the contract sales price. For dispositions with a contract sales price greater than $50 million , the disposition fee will equal the sum of $750,000 (which amount is 1.5% of $50 million ), plus 1.0% of the amount of the contract sales price in excess of $50 million . The disposition fee is determined in a per transaction basis and is not cumulative. Disposition fees may be paid, in addition to commissions paid to non-affiliates, provided that the total commissions (including such disposition fee) paid to affiliates and non-affiliates do not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 6.0% if the aggregate contract sales price or (ii) the competitive real estate commission. The Company will not pay a disposition fee upon the maturity, prepayment or workout of a loan or other debt-related investment, provided that if the Company negotiates a discounted payoff with the borrower it will pay a disposition fee and if the Company takes ownership of a property as a result of a workout or foreclosure of a loan, it will pay a disposition fee upon the sale of such property. |
| Related Party Transactions, Subordinated Participation in Net Cash Flows | After the Company’s common stockholders have received, together as a collective group, aggregate distributions (regardless of the source used to fund such distributions and including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes) sufficient to provide (i) a return of their gross investment amount, which is the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by the total number of shares repurchased by the Company (excluding shares received as a stock dividend which the Company subsequently repurchased) multiplied by the weighted average issue price of the shares sold in a primary offering, and (ii) a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on such gross investment amount, the Advisor is entitled to receive 15% of the Company’s net cash flows, whether from continuing operations, net sales proceeds, net financing proceeds, or otherwise. This fee is only payable if the Company is not listed on an exchange. To the extent this fee is derived from cash flows other than net sales proceeds, this fee will count against the limit on “total operating expenses” described below. |
| Related Party Transactions, Subordinated Incentive Fee | Upon a merger or listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange, the Advisor or its affiliates will receive an incentive fee. Upon a listing this fee will equal 15% of the amount by which (i) the market value of the Company’s outstanding stock, as defined in the Advisory Agreement, plus the total of all distributions paid by the Company to stockholders from inception until the date market value is determined (regardless of the source used to fund such distributions and including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes and excluding any stock dividend) exceeds (ii) the sum of stockholders’ gross investment amount, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by the total number of shares repurchased by the Company (excluding shares received as a stock dividend which the Company subsequently repurchased) multiplied by the weighted average issue price of the shares sold in the primary portion of an offering, and the amount of cash flow necessary to generate a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on stockholders’ gross investment amount from the Company’s inception through the date the market value is determined. Upon a merger this fee will equal 15% of the amount by which (i) the merger consideration amount plus the total of all distributions paid or declared by the Company to stockholders from inception until the closing of the merger (regardless of the source used to fund such distributions and including distributions that may constitute a return of capital for federal income tax purposes and excluding any stock dividend) exceeds (ii) the sum of stockholders’ gross investment amount, or the amount calculated by multiplying the total number of shares purchased by stockholders by the issue price, reduced by the total number of shares repurchased by the Company (excluding shares received as a stock dividend which the Company subsequently repurchased) multiplied by the weighted average issue price of the shares sold in the primary portion of an offering, and the amount necessary to generate a 7.0% per year cumulative, noncompounded return on our stockholders’ gross investment amount from our inception through the closing of the merger. This fee will count against the limit on “total operating expenses” described below. |
| Income Taxes | The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014. To continue to qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company’s annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its stockholders. If the 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 income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially and adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company intends to organize and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT. The Company’s hotel properties are leased to wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiaries, which in turn contracts with an independent hotel management company that manages the day-to-day operations of the Company’s hotels. Lease revenue generated from the taxable REIT subsidiary is eliminated in consolidation. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries incurred net taxable income, resulting in $0.2 million of estimated income tax included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
| Segments | The Company invested in opportunistic real estate investments and originated a loan secured by a non-stabilized real estate asset. In general, the Company intends to hold its investments in opportunistic real estate and other real estate-related assets for capital appreciation. Traditional performance metrics of opportunistic real estate and other real estate-related assets may not be meaningful as these investments are generally non-stabilized and do not provide a consistent stream of interest income or rental revenue. These investments exhibit similar long-term financial performance and have similar economic characteristics. These investments typically involve a higher degree of risk and do not provide a constant stream of ongoing cash flows. As a result, the Company’s management views opportunistic real estate and other real estate-related assets as similar investments. Substantially all of its revenue and net income (loss) is from opportunistic real estate and other real estate-related assets, and therefore, the Company currently aggregates its operating segments into one reportable business segment. |
| Per Share Data | Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding during such period. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock equals basic net income (loss) per share of common stock as there were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. For the purpose of determining the weighted average number of shares outstanding, stock dividends issued are adjusted retroactively and treated as if they were issued and outstanding for all periods presented. The Company declared a stock dividend of 0.01 shares of Class A common stock (or 1% of a share of Class A common stock) on each outstanding share of common stock to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 25, 2015. This stock dividend consisted of 44,538 shares of Class A common stock and was issued on March 27, 2015. The Company declared a stock dividend of 0.01 shares of Class A common stock (or 1% of a share of Class A common stock) on each outstanding share of common stock to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 24, 2015. This stock dividend consisted of 56,219 shares of Class A common stock and was issued on June 29, 2015. The Company declared a stock dividend of 0.01 shares of Class A common stock (or 1% of a share of Class A common stock) on each outstanding share of common stock to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 22, 2015. This stock dividend consisted of 65,710 shares of Class A common stock and was issued on September 29, 2015. The Company declared a stock dividend of 0.01 shares of Class common stock (or 1% of a share of Class A common stock) on each outstanding share of common stock to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2015. This stock dividend consisted of 85,591 shares of Class A common stock and was issued on December 22, 2015. On December 10, 2015, the Company’s board of directors declared a stock dividend of 0.06 shares of Class A common stock (or 6% of a share of Class A common stock) on each outstanding share of Class A common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2015. This stock dividend consisted of 513,546 shares of Class A common stock and was issued on December 21, 2015. On December 10, 2015, the Company’s board of directors also declared a cash distribution in the amount of $0.12 per share of Class A common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 16, 2015. The Company paid this distribution on December 18, 2015. For the purpose of calculating the dollar amount of stock dividend declared, the Company used the current Class A offering price of $10.00 per share (excluding purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers in the Public Offering). |
| Square Footage, Occupancy and Other Measures | Square footage, occupancy, average revenue per available room, average daily rate and other measures used to describe real estate and real estate-related investments included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on an unaudited basis. |
| Recently Issued Accounting Standards Update | In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU No. 2014-08”). ASU No. 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when any of the following occurs: a) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale; b) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of by sale; and c) the component of an entity or group of components of an entity is disposed of other than by sale. ASU No. 2014-08 also requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations. ASU No. 2014-08 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2014-08 for the reporting period beginning January 1, 2014. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2014-08, results of operations for properties that are classified as held for sale in the ordinary course of business on or after January 1, 2014 would generally be included in continuing operations on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, to the extent such disposals did not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. Additionally, any gain or loss on sale of real estate that does not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation would be presented, on the consolidated statements of operations, in continuing operations. ASU No. 2014-08 did not have an impact on the presentation of the Company’s financial statements upon adoption. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”). ASU No. 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue requirements in Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. ASU No. 2014-09 does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Leases (Topic 840). ASU No. 2014-09 was to be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date (“ASU No. 2015-14”), which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2014-09 on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 to have a material impact on its financial statements. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU No. 2014-15”). The amendments in ASU No. 2014-15 require management to evaluate, for each annual and interim reporting period, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued when applicable) and, if so, provide related disclosures. ASU No. 2014-15 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2014-15 to have a significant impact on its financial statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20), Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (“ASU No. 2015-01”). The amendments in ASU No. 2015-01 eliminate from GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Although the amendments will eliminate the requirements in Subtopic 225-20 for reporting entities to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary, the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and will be expanded to include items that are both unusual in nature and infrequently occurring. ASU No. 2015-01 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided that the guidance is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 to have a significant impact on its financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU No. 2015-02”), which amended the existing accounting standards for consolidation under both the variable interest model and the voting model. ASU No. 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU No. 2015-02 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. A reporting entity may apply the amendments in ASU No. 2015-02 using: (a) a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption; or (b) by applying the amendments retrospectively. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting ASU No. 2015-02 on its financial statements, but does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-02 to have a material impact on its financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU No. 2015-03”). The amendments in ASU No. 2015-03 require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount. ASU No. 2015-03 is limited to the presentation of debt issuance costs and does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU No. 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements (“ASU No. 2015-15”), which clarifies ASU No. 2015-03 by stating that the staff of the SEC would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing 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. ASU No. 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and is to be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company elected to early adopt ASU No. 2015-03 for the reporting period ending December 31, 2015. As a result of adoption of ASU No. 2015-03, the Company reclassified debt issuance costs associated with a debt liability from prepaid expenses and other assets to notes payable, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All periods presented have been retroactively adjusted. In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU No. 2015-16”). The amendments in ASU No. 2015-16 require that in a business combination, an acquirer recognizes adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. ASU No. 2015-16 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years and is to be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2015-16 to have a significant impact on its financial statements. In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU No. 2016-01”). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-01 address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. ASU No. 2016-01 primarily affects accounting for equity investments and financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected. ASU No. 2016-01 also requires entities to present financial assets and financial liabilities separately, grouped by measurement category and form of financial asset in the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. ASU No. 2016-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 to have a significant impact on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU No. 2016-02”). The amendments in ASU No. 2016-02 changes the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of ASU No. 2016-02 as of its issuance is permitted. The new leases standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new leases standard on its consolidated financial statements. |
