Note 13. Discontinued Operations

 

From time to time, we may decide to sell a property. We may make a decision to dispose of a property when it is vacant as a result of tenants vacating space, tenants electing not to renew their leases, tenant insolvency, or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, we assess whether we can obtain the highest value from the property by selling it, as opposed to re-leasing it. We may also sell a property when we receive an unsolicited offer or negotiate a price for an investment that is consistent with our strategy for that investment. When it is appropriate to do so, we classify the property as an asset held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet and the current and prior period results of operations of the property are reclassified as discontinued operations.

 

The results of operations for properties that are held for sale or have been sold and with which we have no continuing involvement are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations and are summarized as follows (in thousands, net of tax):

2013 — During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we sold ten properties for an aggregate of $16.4 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on the sales totaling $2.4 million, excluding an impairment charge of $0.8 million previously recognized during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we sold seven properties for an aggregate of $3.2 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net loss on the sales totaling $8.0 million and lease termination income of $8.1 million, excluding an impairment charge of $2.1 million previously recognized during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

In March 2013, a tenant in one of our domestic properties filed for bankruptcy and ceased paying rent to us. As a result, we suspended debt service payments on the related non-recourse mortgage loan. In April 2013, the bankruptcy court appointed a receiver to take possession of the property, and we no longer had control over the activities that most significantly impacted the economic performance of the property. In June 2013, the property was sold in a foreclosure auction, at which point we deconsolidated the investment with carrying values for its net investment in properties, non-recourse debt, and accrued interest of $8.7 million, $13.0 million, and $0.4 million, respectively, and recognized a gain on the deconsolidation of $4.7 million, excluding an impairment charge of $9.3 million recognized during the first quarter of 2013.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we entered into contracts to sell nine domestic properties for $51.4 million. We recognized impairment charges of $3.0 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $0.9 million, and allowances for credit losses totaling $5.7 million, inclusive of amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests of $1.7 million, on several of these properties during the second quarter of 2013. At September 30, 2013, these properties were classified as Assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets. We completed the sales of the properties in October 2013.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we sold four domestic properties for an aggregate of $27.9 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on the sales totaling $2.7 million, excluding an impairment charge of $1.2 million previously recognized during the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

2012 — During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we sold three domestic properties for an aggregate of $6.8 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net gain on the sales totaling less than $0.1 million, a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.4 million, and lease termination income of $0.5 million, excluding impairment charges of $0.5 million recognized during the first quarter of 2012.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold five domestic properties for an aggregate of $11.8 million, net of selling costs, and recognized a net loss on the sales totaling $2.2 million and lease termination income of $0.8 million.

 

We sold three additional properties during 2012 subsequent to September 30, 2012. We recognized impairment charges totaling $6.5 million on several of these properties during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. The results of operations for these properties are included in Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax in the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.
