Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include consolidation of VIE’s, purchase price allocations, the determination of useful lives of fixed assets, classification of leases, and the assessment of the carrying values and impairment of real estate intangible assets and equity investments.

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates is included in our 2021 Annual Report.
