Explanatory Note

Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (“we” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Amendment”) to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was originally filed on February 25, 2019 (the “Original 10-K”). We are filing this Amendment respectively to amend Item 15 of Part IV of the Original 10-K to include the separate consolidated financial statements of Lehigh Valley Associates and Subsidiary ("Associates") as required by Rule 3-09 under Regulation S-X (the “Rule 3-09 financial statements”), which were not included in the Original 10-K because they were not available at the time of its filing. Associates is the owner of a substantial portion of Lehigh Valley Mall (the "Mall") in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The Company owns a 50% interest in Associates, which is not consolidated for financial reporting purposes. Associates met the criteria of a significant subsidiary under Rule 3-09 for the years ended December 31, 2016. The Rule 3-09 financial statements include unaudited consolidated balance sheets of Associates as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of operations, partners' deficit and statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively (see Exhibit 99.1), and audited consolidated balance sheets of Associates as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners' deficit and statements of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016 (see Exhibit 99.2).

We are also amending Item 15 of the Original 10-K to include certain other exhibits. This Amendment only amends Item 15 of the Original 10-K, and does not amend or modify any of the other information included in the Original 10-K, nor does it modify or update any information included in the Original 10-K to reflect any events, developments or results that occurred subsequent to February 25, 2019 . Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 10-K and the Company’s other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the Original 10-K.

Item 15.    Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

The following documents are included in this report:

(1) Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements of Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, as listed in Item 15 of the Original 10-K, are included in Item 8 of the Original 10-K.

(2) Financial Statement Schedules
The financial statement schedules of Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust, as listed in Item 15 of the Original 10-K, are included in Item 8 of the Original 10-K.

The financial statements of Associates required by Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X are provided as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Amendment.

The Company presented summary financial information for the Mall in the notes to its consolidated financial statements that were included in the Original 10-K. That summary information differs from the Rule 3-09 Financial Statements because the summary information in the Company's consolidated financial statements includes asset and income statement information for a small portion of the Mall that is not owned by Associates. There are also some differences because the Company and Associates have grouped certain balance sheet and income statement accounts differently. The Company does not believe that these differences are significant.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and for the Two Years Ended December 31, 2018




1. General
Lehigh Valley Associates (the Partnership) is a Pennsylvania limited partnership. On June 2, 2006, the Partnership formed Mall at Lehigh Valley, L.P. (the Mall), a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership transferred all the assets and liabilities related to its regional shopping center and an office building (the Property), located in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, to the Mall in exchange for 100% ownership therein. The Partnership also entered into a lease agreement for the Property with its wholly owned subsidiary. The intercompany lease is eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Property leases space to retailers (national and international chains and locally owned stores) in the ordinary course of business.
The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2073, unless terminated earlier as provided for in the agreement. Income, losses, and distributions are allocated to the partners in proportion to their respective ownership interests.
The Partnership is owned 50% by PREIT Associates, L.P. and its wholly owned subsidiary (general and limited partner), 49.5% by Kravco Simon Investments, L.P. (KSI, limited partner), and 0.5% by Delta Ventures, Inc. (DV, general partner). DV is a wholly owned subsidiary of KSI. KSI is owned by Simon Property Group, L.P. (SPG, L.P.).
Simon Property Group, Inc. (SPG), a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT), owned a controlling 86.8% and 86.9% of SPG, L.P. at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Mall. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Hereafter, references to the Partnership include Lehigh Valley Associates and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mall at Lehigh Valley, L.P.
Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Investment Property
Investment property is recorded at cost. Investment property includes costs of acquisition, development, predevelopment and construction, tenant allowances and improvements, and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction. Certain improvements and replacements from repairs and maintenance are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. All other repair and maintenance items are expensed as incurred. Depreciation on building and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over an estimated original useful life, which is generally 10 to 35 years. Depreciation on tenant allowances and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease or occupancy term of the tenant, if shorter. Depreciation on equipment and fixtures is provided utilizing the straight-line method over five to ten years.
Investment property is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment property may not be recoverable. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, declines in cash flows, ending occupancy, and comparable sales per square foot. Impairment of investment property is measured when estimated undiscounted operating income before depreciation and amortization plus its residual value is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent that impairment has occurred, the excess of carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to expense.
Deferred Costs, Net
Deferred costs consist primarily of leasing commissions and related costs, and tenant inducements. Deferred leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Tenant inducements represent payments to tenants that do not qualify as tenant allowances or improvements. Tenant inducements are amortized as a reduction to minimum rent on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and for the Two Years Ended December 31, 2018



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Deferred costs, net, consist of the following at December 31:
 
2018

Leasing costs and other
$2,005,941
$1,428,140

Less accumulated amortization
2,196,074
1,929,063
 
$1,296,708
$1,025,918

Depreciation and amortization in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations includes amortization of deferred leasing costs of $249,780 and $227,479 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Minimum rent in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations is reduced by amortization of tenant inducements of $123,381 and $127,017 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Partnership, as a lessor, has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the Property and accounts for its leases as operating leases. Minimum rents are accrued on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective leases. Substantially all of the retail tenants are also required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year. The Partnership recognizes overage rents only when each tenant’s sales exceed its sales threshold.
Leases are typically structured to allow the Partnership to recover a significant portion of property operating and repairs and maintenance expenses (referred to herein as CAM), as well as other expenses such as real estate taxes and advertising and promotion expenses from the tenants. Such property operating expenses typically include utility, insurance, security, janitorial, landscaping, food court, and other administrative expenses. The Partnership accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all of these expenses as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. The Partnership receives a fixed payment from most tenants for the CAM component, which is recorded as revenue when earned.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and for the Two Years Ended December 31, 2018



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The Partnership receives payments for these reimbursements from substantially all tenants throughout the year. This reduces the risk of loss on uncollectible accounts once the Partnership performs the final year-end billings for recoverable expenditures. Differences between actual and estimated tenant reimbursements are recognized in the subsequent year. Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.
Allowance for Credit Losses
A provision for credit losses is recorded based on management’s judgment of tenant creditworthiness, ability to pay, and probability of collection. Accounts are written off when they are deemed to be no longer collectible. In addition, the retail sector in which the tenant operates and the historical collection experience in cases of bankruptcy are considered, if applicable.
Income Taxes
As a partnership, the allocated share of the operating results for each period is includable in the income tax returns of the partners; accordingly, income taxes are not reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. Management evaluates the potential that the Partnership may be subject to income taxes in the future. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no uncertain tax positions that had a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices for identical items in active, liquid, and visible markets, such as stock exchanges. Level 2 fair value inputs are observable information for similar items in active or inactive markets and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations. Level 3 fair value inputs reflect the Partnership’s best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate. The Partnership has no investments for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and for the Two Years Ended December 31, 2018



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value. However, at certain times, such cash and cash equivalents may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Securities Investor Protection Corporation insurance limits.
Cash paid for interest by the Partnership was $7,451,764 and $8,126,352 during 2018 and 2017, respectively.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers . ASU 2014-09 amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. The new standard provides accounting guidance for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers. The guidance also provides a model for the measurement and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of certain nonfinancial assets, such as property, including real estate.
The Partnership’s revenues impacted by this standard primarily include other ancillary income earned. Upon adoption of the new guidance, the amount and timing of revenue recognition will be consistent with the prior treatment. The Partnership adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2018, and there was no cumulative effect adjustment to recognize.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which will result in lessees recognizing most leased assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting will remain substantially similar to the current accounting; however, certain refinements were made to conform the standard with the recently issued revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09, specifically related to the allocation and recognition of contract consideration earned from lease and non-lease revenue components.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and for the Two Years Ended December 31, 2018



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Substantially all of the Partnership’s revenues are earned from arrangements that are within the scope of ASU 2016-02. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, consideration related to non-lease components identified in the Partnership’s lease arrangements will be accounted for using the guidance in ASU 2014-09, which would (i) necessitate that management reallocate consideration received under many of the lease arrangements between the lease and non-lease component, (ii) result in recognizing revenue allocated to the primary non-lease component (consideration received from fixed common area maintenance arrangements) on a straight-line basis, and (iii) require separate presentation of revenue recognized from lease and non-lease components on the statement of operations. However, on July 30, 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which created a practical expedient that provides lessors an option not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain criteria are met and instead account for those components as a single lease component. The Partnership determined that its lease arrangements will meet the criteria under the practical expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component, which alleviates the requirement upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 that the Partnership reallocate or separately present lease and non-lease components. As a result, the Partnership will recognize consideration received from fixed common area maintenance arrangements on a straight-line basis as this consideration is attributed to the lease component. The Partnership adopted ASU 2016-02 and any subsequent amendments beginning in 2019.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated by the Partnership through March 28, 2019, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

3. Investment Property (continued)
Investment property includes $580,622 and $1,777,503 of work-in-progress at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
4. Mortgage Notes Payable, Net
The Partnership, through its subsidiary the Mall, had a mortgage note payable with an original principal balance of $140,000,000 (the Old Note), which bore interest at a fixed rate of 5.88% and required monthly principal and interest payments of $828,600 through its maturity date of July 5, 2020.
On October 13, 2017, the Mall refinanced the loan for a $200,000,000 mortgage note (the New Note), which bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.056% and requires monthly principal and interest payments of $961,299 through its maturity date of November 1, 2027. The majority of the proceeds from the New Note were used to pay down the outstanding balance of the Old Note and accrued interest, including a prepayment penalty of $3,114,407, which is reflected in the 2017 Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining proceeds were distributed to the partners. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the principal amount outstanding on the New Note was $196,328,416 and $199,450,939, respectively.

4. Mortgage Notes Payable, Net (continued)
The New Note is secured by the investment property and related rents and leases of the Partnership. The New Note also requires a monthly rollover reserve escrow deposit until a reserve cap of $2,994,258 is met. The escrow balance as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, was $1,063,429 and $690,201, respectively.
If a trigger event occurs (debt service coverage ratio, as defined, falls below 1.5 to 1 for two consecutive quarters based upon the trailing four quarters), the Partnership will be required to establish a cash management account under the sole dominion and control of the lender. As of December 31, 2018, no such triggering event has occurred.
As of December 31, 2018, scheduled principal repayments on the mortgage note, over the next five years and thereafter, are as follows:
2019
$3,528,195
2020
3,653,715

Exhibit 99.2

Report of Independent Auditors
To the Partners of
Lehigh Valley Associates and Subsidiary:
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Lehigh Valley Associates, a Pennsylvania limited partnership, and Subsidiary (the Partnership), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the three years ended December 31, 2016, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Partnership’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Exhibit 99.2

Lehigh Valley Associates and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the Three Years Ended December 31, 2016

1. General
Lehigh Valley Associates (the Partnership) is a Pennsylvania limited partnership. On June 2, 2006, the Partnership formed Mall at Lehigh Valley, L.P. (the Mall), a Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership transferred all the assets and liabilities related to its regional shopping center and an office building (the Property), located in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, to the Mall in exchange for 100% ownership therein. The Partnership also entered into a lease agreement for the Property with its wholly owned subsidiary. The intercompany lease is eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Property leases space to retailers (national and international chains and locally owned stores) in the ordinary course of business.
The Partnership will terminate on December 31, 2073, unless terminated earlier as provided for in the agreement. Income, losses, and distributions are allocated to the partners in proportion to their respective ownership interests.
The Partnership is owned 50% by PREIT Associates, L.P. and its wholly owned subsidiary (general and limited partner), 49.5% by Kravco Simon Investments, L.P. (KSI, limited partner), and 0.5% by Delta Ventures, Inc. (DV, general partner). DV is a wholly owned subsidiary of KSI. Prior to January 10, 2014, KSI was owned by Simon Property Group, L.P. (SPG, L.P.) and the Powell family. Effective January 10, 2014, SPG, L.P. purchased the Powell family’s interest in KSI, resulting in SPG, L.P. indirectly owning 50% of the Partnership.
Simon Property Group, Inc. (SPG), a publicly traded real estate investment trust (REIT), owned a controlling 86.9% and 85.7% of SPG, L.P. at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the Three Years Ended December 31, 2016
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Mall. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Hereafter, references to the Partnership include Lehigh Valley Associates and its wholly owned subsidiary, the Mall.
Investment Property
Investment property is recorded at cost. Investment property includes costs of acquisition, development, predevelopment and construction, tenant allowances and improvements, and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction. Certain improvements and replacements from repairs and maintenance are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. All other repair and maintenance items are expensed as incurred. Depreciation on building and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over an estimated original useful life, which is generally 15 to 40 years. Depreciation on tenant allowances and improvements is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the term of the related lease or occupancy term of the tenant, if shorter. Depreciation on equipment and fixtures is provided utilizing the straight-line method over five to ten years.
Investment property is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of investment property may not be recoverable. These circumstances include, but are not limited to, declines in cash flows, ending occupancy, and comparable sales per square foot. Impairment of investment property is measured when estimated undiscounted operating income before depreciation and amortization plus its residual value is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent that impairment has occurred, the excess of carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to income.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Deferred Costs, Net
Deferred costs consist primarily of leasing commissions and related costs, and tenant inducements. Deferred leasing costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. Tenant inducements represent payments to tenants that do not qualify as tenant allowances or improvements. Tenant inducements are amortized as a reduction to minimum rent on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.
Deferred costs, net, consist of the following at December 31:

Depreciation and amortization in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations includes amortization of deferred leasing costs of $195,571, $204,598, and $202,611 for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. Minimum rent in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations is reduced by amortization of tenant inducements of $127,017 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and $127,365 for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Partnership wrote off $199,479, $168,019, and $221,786 of fully amortized deferred costs during 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

Lehigh Valley Associates and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the Three Years Ended December 31, 2016
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition
The Partnership, as a lessor, has retained substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the Property and accounts for its leases as operating leases. Minimum rents are accrued on a straight-line basis over the terms of their respective leases. Substantially all of the retail tenants are also required to pay overage rents based on sales over a stated base amount during the lease year. The Partnership recognizes overage rents only when each tenant’s sales exceed its sales threshold.
Leases are typically structured to allow the Partnership to recover a significant portion of property operating and repairs and maintenance expenses (referred to herein as CAM), as well as other expenses such as real estate taxes and advertising and promotion expenses from the tenants. Such property operating expenses typically include utility, insurance, security, janitorial, landscaping, food court, and other administrative expenses. The Partnership accrues reimbursements from tenants for recoverable portions of all of these expenses as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. The Partnership receives a fixed payment from substantially all tenants for the CAM component, which is recorded as revenue when earned. When not reimbursed by the fixed CAM component, CAM expense reimbursements are based on the tenant’s proportionate share of the allocable operating expenses and CAM capital expenditures for the property.
The Partnership receives payments for these reimbursements from substantially all tenants throughout the year. This reduces the risk of loss on uncollectible accounts once the Partnership performs the final year-end billings for recoverable expenditures. Differences between actual and estimated tenant reimbursements are recognized in the subsequent year. Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred.
Allowance for Credit Losses
A provision for credit losses is recorded based on management’s judgment of tenant creditworthiness, ability to pay, and probability of collection. Accounts are written off when they are deemed to be no longer collectible. In addition, the retail sector in which the tenant operates and the historical collection experience in cases of bankruptcy are considered, if applicable.

Lehigh Valley Associates and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the Three Years Ended December 31, 2016
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Income Taxes
As a partnership, the allocated share of the operating results for each period is includable in the income tax returns of the partners; accordingly, income taxes are not reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. Management evaluates the potential that the Partnership may be subject to income taxes in the future. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no uncertain tax positions that had a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements
Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices for identical items in active, liquid, and visible markets, such as stock exchanges. Level 2 fair value inputs are observable information for similar items in active or inactive markets and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations. Level 3 fair value inputs reflect the Partnership’s best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate. The Partnership has no investments for which fair value is measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less are considered cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates market value. The Partnership places cash and cash equivalents with institutions with high credit quality. However, at certain times, such cash and cash equivalents may be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits.
Cash paid for interest by the Partnership was $7,527,608, $7,665,223, and $7,794,998 during 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
New Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs . ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The Partnership adopted this standard as required on January 1, 2016, resulting in a reclassification of $232,950 from deferred costs to a reduction of the carrying amount of mortgage note payable as of December 31, 2015.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers . ASU 2014-09 amends the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition and is based on principles that govern the recognition of revenue at an amount an entity expects to be entitled when products are transferred to customers. The Partnership plans to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The new standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact adopting the new standard (and the transition method of such adoption) will have on the consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which is expected to result in lessees recognizing most leased assets on the balance sheet. Lessor accounting generally retains the operating lease model similar to the current accounting; however, certain refinements were made, which may impact the timing of certain revenue recognition and the classification of such amounts in the financial statements. The Partnership plans to adopt this new guidance effective January 1, 2019. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact adopting the new accounting standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated by the Partnership through February 13, 2017, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.
