NOTE 5 – DEFERRED RENTS RECEIVABLE
The Company is the lessor under several operating
leases which contain rent holidays, escalating rents over time, options to renew, requirements to pay property taxes, insurance
and/or maintenance costs, and contingent rental payments based on a percentage of monthly tenant revenues. The Company is not the
lessor under any finance leases.
The Company recognizes fixed rental receipts
from such lease agreements on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Differences between amounts received and amounts
recognized are recorded under Deferred Rents Receivable on the balance sheet. Contingent rentals are recognized
only after tenants’ revenues are finalized and if such revenues exceed certain minimum levels.
