Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company evaluates its assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, application of the Company’s accounting policies involves exercising judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Hines Global REIT II, Inc. and the Operating Partnership (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has retroactively changed, for all periods presented, its classification of distributions in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of equity by reflecting such distributions as charges against “accumulated distributions in excess of earnings.” This presentation change had no impact on the balances in total equity in any of the periods presented. |
Investment Property and Lease Intangibles | Investment Property and Lease Intangibles Real estate assets acquired by the Company are stated at fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for computing depreciation are generally 10 years for furniture and fixtures, 15 - 20 years for electrical and mechanical installations and 40 years for buildings. Major replacements that extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized and maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, are recorded at the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The results of operations of acquired properties are included in the Company’s results of operations from their respective dates of acquisition. Estimates of fair values are based upon estimates of future cash flows and other valuation techniques that the Company believes are similar to those used by market participants and are used to record the purchase of identifiable assets acquired, such as land, buildings and improvements, equipment and identifiable intangible assets related to in-place leases and liabilities assumed, such as amounts related to acquired out-of-market leases, asset retirement obligations, and mortgage notes payable. Values of buildings and improvements are determined on an as-if-vacant basis. Initial valuations are subject to change until such information is finalized, which will occur no later than 12 months after the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs such as transaction costs and acquisition fees paid to the Advisor are expensed as incurred. The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases are the costs the Company would have incurred to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs and other direct costs that would be incurred to lease the properties to such occupancy levels. Additionally, the Company evaluates the time period over which such occupancy levels would be achieved. Such evaluation will include an estimate of the net market-based rental revenues and net operating costs (primarily consisting of real estate taxes, insurance and utilities) that would be incurred during the lease-up period. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the remaining lease terms. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value is charged to amortization expense. Acquired out-of-market lease values (including ground leases) are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the lease acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of fair market value lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized out-of-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental revenue (or ground lease expense, as applicable) over the remaining terms of the respective leases, which include periods covered by bargain renewal options. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the out-of-market lease value is charged to rental revenue. Management estimates the fair value of assumed mortgage notes payable based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. Assumed mortgage notes payable are initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the outstanding principal balance of the note will be amortized over the life of the mortgage note payable. |
Impairment of Investment Property | Impairment of Investment Property Real estate assets are reviewed for impairment each reporting period if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the individual property may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison will be made of the current and projected operating cash flows and expected proceeds from the eventual disposition of each property on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, it would be written down to the estimated fair value to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. The determination of whether investment property is impaired requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at the time of the evaluation. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. |
Concentration of Credit Risk | Concentration of Credit Risk As of December 31, 2015 , the Company had cash and cash equivalents deposited in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. Management regularly monitors the financial stability of these financial institutions in an effort to manage the Company’s exposure to any significant credit risk in cash and cash equivalents. |
International Operations | International Operations The Euro (“EUR”) is the functional currency for the Company’s subsidiary operating in Ireland. This subsidiary has translated its financial statements into U.S. dollars for reporting purposes. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect as of the balance sheet date while income statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period and significant nonrecurring transactions using the rate on the transaction date. Gains or losses resulting from translation are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within stockholders’ equity. Upon disposal of this subsidiary, the Company will remove the accumulated translation adjustment from stockholders’ equity and include it in the gain or loss on disposal in its consolidated statement of operations. This subsidiary may have transactions denominated in currencies other than its functional currency. In these instances, assets and liabilities are remeasured into the functional currency at the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period and income statement accounts are remeasured at the average exchange rate for the period. These gains or losses are included in the Company’s results of operations. This subsidiary also records gains or losses in the income statement when a transaction with a third party, denominated in a currency other than its functional currency, is settled and the functional currency cash flows realized are more or less than expected based upon the exchange rate in effect when the transaction was initiated. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company has restricted cash primarily related to certain escrow accounts required by the Bishop’s Square secured facility. |
Deferred Leasing and Financing Costs | Deferred Leasing Costs Direct leasing costs, primarily consisting of third-party leasing commissions, tenant inducements and legal costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related lease. Tenant inducement amortization is recorded as an offset to rental revenue and the amortization of other direct leasing costs is recorded in amortization expense. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs consist of direct costs incurred in obtaining debt financing. These costs are presented as a direct reduction from the related debt liability for permanent mortgages and presented as an asset for revolving credit arrangements. In total, deferred financing costs had a carrying value of $525,250 and $8,925 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 . These costs are amortized into interest expense on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the obligations. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease including rent holidays, if any. Straight-line rent receivables were $627,875 and $5,895 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Straight-line rent receivable consists of the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of acquisition or lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease agreements and is included in tenant and other receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues associated with operating expense recoveries are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon the tenant lease provisions. Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized on a straight-line basis amortized from the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the leased space is modified through the end of the revised lease term. |
Issuer Costs | Issuer Costs The Company reimburses the Advisor and its affiliates for any issuer costs related to the Offering that it pays on the Company’s behalf. Such costs consist of, among other costs, expenses of the Company’s organization, actual legal, accounting, bona fide out-of-pocket itemized and detailed due diligence costs, printing, filing fees, transfer agent costs, postage, escrow fees, data processing fees, advertising and sales literature and other offering-related costs. The Company did not have an obligation to reimburse the Advisor for any issuer costs until it achieved its minimum offering requirements on September 26, 2014 . Therefore, the Company did not record issuer costs within its financial statements until that time. Organizational issuer costs, such as expenses associated with the formation of the Company and its board of directors are expensed as incurred, and offering-related issuer costs are recorded as an offset to additional paid-in capital. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company intends to make an election to be taxed as a REIT, under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), and expects it will be taxed as such beginning with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015 . In order to qualify as a REIT, an entity must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its annual ordinary taxable income to stockholders. REITs are generally not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that they distribute to their stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service granted the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company’s net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, the Company believes that it will be organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT and intends to operate in the foreseeable future in such a manner so that the Company will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. The Company did not elect to be taxed as a REIT for the taxable year ended December 31, 2014 . This did not have an impact on the Company’s tax liability or the tax liability of the Company’s stockholders that invested in the Company’s public offering during 2014 since the Company did not have any taxable income for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the period from July 31, 2013 (date of inception) through December 31, 2013. |
Fees and Expense Reimbursements | Distribution and Stockholder Servicing Fee Per the terms of the Company’s Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company will pay a distribution and stockholder servicing fee of 1.0% per annum of the gross offering price per share (or, if the Company is no longer offering primary shares, the then-current estimated net asset value per share, if any has been disclosed) for Class T Shares sold in the Offering. The distribution and stockholder servicing fee will accrue daily and be paid quarterly in arrears. The distribution and stockholder servicing fees are ongoing fees that are not paid at the time of purchase. The Company will cease paying the distribution and stockholder servicing fee with respect to any particular Class T Share and that Class T Share will convert into a number of Class A Shares on the earlier of: (i) a listing of the Class A Shares on a national securities exchange; (ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (iii) the end of the month in which the Dealer Manager determines that total underwriting compensation paid in the Offering including the distribution and stockholder servicing fee paid on all Class T Shares sold in the Offering is equal to 10.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering from the sale of both Class A Shares and Class T Shares; (iv) the end of the month in which the transfer agent, on behalf of the Company, determines that underwriting compensation paid in the primary offering including the distribution and stockholder servicing fee paid with respect to the Class T Shares held by a stockholder within his or her particular account equals 10.0% of the gross offering price at the time of investment of the Class T Shares held in such account; and (v) on any Class T Share that is redeemed or repurchased. Although the Company cannot predict the length of time over which this fee will be paid due to potential changes in the estimated net asset value of the Company’s Class T Shares, this fee would be paid over approximately 5.25 years from the date of purchase, assuming a constant per share offering price or estimated net asset value, as applicable of $9.4489 per Class T Share. The Company recorded its distribution and stockholder servicing fees as an operating expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, as they were earned by the Dealer Manager. Acquisition Fee – The Advisor receives acquisition fees of 2.25% of (i) the purchase price of real estate investments acquired, including any debt attributable to such investments, or the total principal amounts borrowed under any loans made or acquired directly by the Company, or (ii) when the Company makes an investment or makes or acquires a loan indirectly through another entity, such investment’s pro rata share of the gross asset value of real estate investments held by that entity, including any debt attributable to such investments, or the total principal amount borrowed under any loans made or acquired by that entity. Asset Management Fee – The Advisor also receives asset management fees of 0.0625% per month of the cost of the Company’s real estate investments at the end of each month; provided that, if the Company’s board of directors has determined an estimated net asset value per share, then, with respect to real estate investments included in the board of director’s determination, the asset management fees will be equal to 0.0625% per month of the most recently determined value of such real estate investments at the end of each month. In September 2014, the Advisor agreed to waive the asset management fees otherwise payable to it for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 , to the extent that the Company’s modified funds from operations (“MFFO”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 , as disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year, amounted to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared to the Company’s stockholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 . As a result of this waiver, the Advisor waived $16,258 of asset management fees payable to it for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 . Furthermore, the Advisor also agreed to waive the asset management fees otherwise payable to it for each quarter in 2015 and each of the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, to the extent that the Company’s MFFO for such quarters, as disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as applicable, amounts to less than 100% of the aggregate distributions declared to the Company’s stockholders for each respective quarter. The Advisor also agreed to waive an additional $62,500 in asset management fees so that the Company’s MFFO for the year ended December 31, 2015 would equal the distributions declared for such year. As a result of these waivers, the Advisor waived $583,433 of the total $888,109 in asset management fees payable to it for the year ended December 31, 2015 and all of the $16,258 of asset management fees payable to it during the year ended December 31, 2014 . As a result of these fee waivers, cash flows from operations that would have been paid to the Advisor for asset management fees may be available to pay distributions to stockholders. These fee waivers are not deferrals and accordingly, any fees that are waived will not be paid to the Advisor in cash at any time in the future. Disposition Fee – If the Advisor, its affiliates or related parties provide a substantial amount of services, as determined in good faith by a majority of the Company’s independent directors, the Company will pay the Advisor, its affiliates or related parties a disposition fee in an amount equal to (a) 1.0% of the market value determined in connection with a listing of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange, or 1.0% of the gross consideration received or to be received by the Company or its stockholders upon the occurrence of any other liquidity event involving the Company or the Operating Partnership, pursuant to which the Company’s stockholders receive in exchange for their shares of the Company’s common stock, cash, listed securities, securities redeemable for cash, or a combination thereof, or (b) 1.0% of the gross sales price upon the sale or transfer of one or more real estate investments (including a sale of all of the Company’s real estate investments). Even if the Advisor, its affiliates or related parties receive a disposition fee, the Company may still be obligated to pay fees or commissions to another third party. However, when a real estate or brokerage fee is payable in connection with a particular transaction, the amount of the disposition fee paid to the Advisor or its affiliates or related parties, as applicable, may not exceed an amount equal to the lesser of (i) one-half of a competitive real estate or brokerage commission and (ii) 1.0% of the gross sales price and, when added to the sum of all real estate or brokerage fees and commissions paid to unaffiliated parties, may not exceed the lesser of (x) a competitive real estate or brokerage commission or (y) an amount equal to 6.0% of the gross sales price. Special OP Units – An affiliate of the Advisor holds special partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“Special OP Units”), which will entitle them to receive distributions in an amount equal to 15.0% of distributions, including from sales of real estate investments, refinancings and other sources, but only after the Company’s stockholders have received, or are deemed to have received, in the aggregate, cumulative distributions equal to their invested capital plus a 6.0% cumulative, non-compounded annual return on such invested capital. Additionally, at the sole discretion of the Advisor, the acquisition fees, asset management fees or disposition fees are payable, in whole or in part, in cash or units of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). In the case of the disposition fee, the Advisor may also elect to be paid, if applicable, in securities issued by another entity. For the purposes of the payment of these fees, each OP Unit will be valued at the per share offering price of the Company’s common stock in the Company’s most recent public offering less selling commissions and dealer manager fees payable with respect to such common stock, to account for the fact that no selling commissions or dealer manager fees will be paid in connection with any such issuances. Each OP unit will be convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. The Company will recognize the expense related to these OP Units as the related service is performed, as each OP Unit will be fully vested upon issuance. The Company reimburses the Advisor for all expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Company, subject to the limitation that the Company will not reimburse the Advisor for any amount by which its operating expenses (including the asset management fee) at the end of the four preceding fiscal quarters exceeds the greater of: (A) 2.0% of its average invested assets, or (B) 25.0% of its net income determined without reduction for any additions to reserves for depreciation, bad debts or other similar non-cash reserves and excluding any gain from the sale of the Company’s assets for that period (the “2%/25% Limitation”). Notwithstanding the above, the Company may reimburse the Advisor for expenses in excess of this limitation if a majority of the independent directors determines that such excess expenses are justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. For the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s total operating expenses exceeded the 2%/25% Limitation. Based upon a review of unusual and non-recurring factors, including but not limited to the Company being in the early stages of raising and deploying capital, the limited number of assets acquired to date and the timing of those acquisitions, a majority of the Company’s independent directors determined that the excess expenses were justified and thus reimbursable to the Advisor. For the four fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2015 , the Company’s total operating expenses did not exceed the 2%/25% Limitation. In addition, as described in Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Issuer Costs, the Company reimburses the Advisor for any issuer costs paid on its behalf. However, the total reimbursement related to issuer costs, selling commissions, dealer manager fees and the distribution and stockholder servicing fees may not exceed 15.0% of gross proceeds from the Offering. |
Redemption of Common Stock | Redemption of Common Stock The Company complies with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” which requires, among other things, that financial instruments that represent a mandatory obligation of the Company to repurchase shares be classified as liabilities and reported at settlement value. When approved, the Company will reclassify such obligations from equity to an accrued liability based upon their respective settlement values. |
Reclassification | Reclassifications On August 6, 2015, the Company supplemented its Articles of Amendment and Restatement to reclassify 900,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of Class A common stock as Class T common stock. As a result, the Company reclassified 900,000,000 Class A shares authorized on the December 31, 2014 balance sheet into shares of Class T common stock. |
Per Share Data | Per Share Data Net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for each period for each class of share by the weighted average number of common shares for each class of share outstanding during such period. Net income (loss) per common share for each class of share on a basic and diluted basis is the same because the Company has no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In January 2015, the FASB issued amendments to the Codification to provide guidance on the disclosure of extraordinary items. The amendments eliminate the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued amendments to the Codification’s consolidation guidance which improves targeted areas of the consolidation guidance and reduces the number of consolidation models. The amendments in the Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) are effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company has not elected to early adopt this standard. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements and has determined that the Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). However, the Company meets the disclosure exemption criteria as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the Company’s partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest. As such, the Company does not believe this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015 and August 2015, the FASB issued amendments to change the prior guidance concerning the presentation of debt issuance costs in the financial statements. Under this revised guidance, an entity will present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset, except for costs related to lines of credit which will remain an asset in the financial statements. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt these amendments early, effective for the year ended December 31, 2015 . Upon adoption, the Company recorded $507,908 in deferred financing costs, excluding costs related to the Company’s revolving credit arrangement, as a direct reduction to notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 . In June 2015, FASB made technical corrections and improvements to provide clarification, correct unintended application of guidance, and make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice. These amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial statements. In September 2015, FASB issued new guidance that eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, an acquirer will recognize a measurement-period adjustment during the period in which it determines the amount of the adjustment. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements upon adoption. In January 2016, FASB issued new guidance intended to improve the recognition and the measurement of financial instruments. The ASU will require equity investments, excluding those investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognized in net income; will simplify the impairment assessment of those investments; will eliminate the disclosure of the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and change the fair value calculation for those investments; will change the disclosure in other comprehensive income for financial liabilities that are measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value options for financial instruments; and will clarify that a deferred asset related to available-for-sale securities should be included in an entity's evaluation for a valuation allowance. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. The ASU will require companies that lease assets to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The accounting by companies that own the assets leased by the lessee (the lessor) will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements. |
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedges | The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement with Chatham Financial Corporation in connection with the Bishop’s Square Facility. The interest rate cap agreement was entered into as an economic hedge against the variability of future interest rates on one of its variable interest rate borrowings. The Company’s interest rate cap contract has economically limited the interest rate on the loan to which it relates. The Company has not designated this derivative as a hedge for accounting purposes. |
Property Management and Leasing Fees | Property Management and Leasing Agreements The Company pays Hines fees for the management and leasing of the Company’s properties. Property management fees will be paid in an amount equal to a market-based percentage of the gross revenues of the properties managed by Hines. In addition, if Hines provides leasing services with respect to a property, the Company will pay Hines leasing fees in an amount equal to the leasing fees charged by unaffiliated persons rendering comparable services in the same geographic area of the applicable property. The Company generally will be required to reimburse Hines for certain operating costs incurred in providing property management and leasing services pursuant to the property management and leasing agreements. Included in this reimbursement of operating costs will be the cost of personnel and overhead expenses related to such personnel located at the property as well as off-site personnel located in Hines’ headquarters and regional offices, to the extent the same relate to or support the performance of Hines’ duties under the agreement. Hines may perform construction management services for the Company for both re-development activities and tenant construction. These fees are considered incremental to the construction effort and will be capitalized to the associated real estate project as incurred. Costs related to tenant construction will be depreciated over the estimated useful life. Costs related to redevelopment activities will be depreciated over the estimated useful life of the associated project. Leasing activities will generally be performed by Hines on the Company’s behalf. Leasing fees will be capitalized and amortized over the life of the related lease. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | As described in Note 6 — Derivative Instruments, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement as an economic hedge against the variability of future interest rates on one of its variable interest rate borrowings. The valuation of this derivative instrument is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flow of the derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreement has been determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate cap agreement fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivative utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty, Chatham Financial Corporation . In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contract for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees. However, as of December 31, 2015 , the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative. As a result, the Company has determined its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |
Reportable Segments | The Company’s current business consists of owning, operating, acquiring, developing, investing in, and disposing of real estate assets. All of the Company’s consolidated revenues and property operating expenses as of December 31, 2015 are from the Company’s two consolidated real estate properties owned as of that date. As a result, the Company’s operating segments have been reclassified into one of two reportable segments: domestic real estate investments and international real estate investments. |
