See Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 6 WEINGARTEN REALTY INVESTORS NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business Weingarten Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership and development of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers and other properties we own or lease. We also manage centers for joint ventures in which we are partners or for other outside owners for which we charge fees. We operate a portfolio of rental properties, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers, that totals approximately 63.8 million square feet. We have a diversified tenant base with our largest tenant comprising only 3.3% of total rental revenues during the first six months of 2012. We currently operate, and intend to operate in the future, as a REIT. Basis of Presentation Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries, certain partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) which meet the guidelines for consolidation. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are unaudited; however, amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011 are derived from our audited financial statements at that date. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and certain information included in our annual financial statements and notes has been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Such statements require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements. Reportable Segments Our primary focus is to lease space to tenants in shopping centers or other properties that we own, lease or manage. Historically, we reviewed operating and financial information for each property by commercial use and on an individual basis. Each commercial use or each property represents an individual operating segment. We evaluate the performance of the reportable segments based on net operating income, defined as total revenues less operating expenses and real estate taxes. Management does not consider the effect of gains or losses from the sale of property or interests in real estate joint ventures and partnerships in evaluating segment operating performance. With the sale of our industrial portfolio in May 2012, we no longer analyze our properties by commercial use. Further, no individual property constitutes more than 10% of our revenues or net operating income, and we have no operations outside of the United States of America. Therefore, our properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment since the properties share similar economic and operating characteristics. Restricted Deposits and Mortgage Escrows Restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consist of escrow deposits held by lenders primarily for property taxes, insurance and replacement reserves and restricted cash that is held for a specific use or in a qualified escrow account for the purposes of completing like-kind exchange transactions. 7 Our restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consist of the following (in thousands):
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Our accumulated other comprehensive loss consists of the following (in thousands):
Reclassifications The reclassification of prior years’ operating results for certain properties classified as discontinued operations was made to conform to the current year presentation (see Note 10 for additional information). Also, we have disaggregated certain line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current year presentation. Prior years’ distribution to noncontrolling interests and contributions from noncontrolling interests was reclassified from other, net, and the acquisition of real estate and land was segregated from development and capital improvements (which was previously titled investment in property). These items had no impact on previously reported net income, earnings per share, the consolidated balance sheet or cash flows. Note 2. Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs,” which amends previous guidance resulting in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments both clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and changes certain principles or requirements for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The provisions of this update were effective for us at January 1, 2012. The adoption of this update did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements. In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-05”), “Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which amends previous guidance by requiring all nonowner changes in equity to be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, an entity will be required to present on the face of the financial statements, reclassification adjustments for items reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income. In December 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, “Deferral of Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05,” which primarily defers the provision of ASU 2011-05 requiring the presentation on the face of the financial statements other comprehensive income reclassification adjustments. All other provisions of ASU 2011-05 were effective for us at January 1, 2012. As of December 31, 2011, our early adoption of this update did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements. 8 Note 3. Property Our property consists of the following (in thousands):
The following carrying charges were capitalized (in thousands):
During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we acquired two shopping centers and other retail property for approximately $118.3 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we sold 13 shopping centers, 53 industrial properties and other retail property. We also assigned a 75% consolidated joint venture interest to our partner. Aggregate gross sales proceeds, including the assumption of debt by the buyer, from these transactions totaled $444.1 million and generated gains of $35.4 million. Also, seven properties totaling $84.0 million and $94.8 million before accumulated depreciation have been classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. See Note 10 for additional information. 9 Note 4. Investment in Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships We own interests in real estate joint ventures or limited partnerships and have tenancy-in-common interests in which we exercise significant influence, but do not have financial and operating control. We account for these investments using the equity method, and our interests range from 10% to 75% for the 2012 periods presented and 7.8% to 75% for the 2011 periods presented. Combined condensed financial information of these ventures (at 100%) is summarized as follows (in thousands):
10 Our investment in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, as reported in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, differs from our proportionate share of the entities' underlying net assets due to basis differences, which arose upon the transfer of certain assets to the joint ventures. The net basis differences, which totaled $5.7 million and $7.5 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, are generally amortized over the useful lives of the related assets. At June 30, 2012, our real estate joint ventures and partnerships determined that the carrying amount of certain properties was not recoverable and that the properties should be written down to fair value. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships recorded an impairment charge of $96.5 million on various properties that are being marketed for sale. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships recorded an impairment charge of $2.1 million. Fees earned by us for the management of these real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $3.3 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In February 2012, we sold a 47.8% unconsolidated joint venture interest in a Colorado development project to our partner with gross sales proceeds totaling $29.1 million, which includes the assumption of our share of debt, generating a gain of $3.5 million. In April 2011, we acquired a 50%-owned unconsolidated real estate joint venture interest in three shopping centers for approximately $11.6 million. We also acquired our partner’s 50% unconsolidated joint venture interest in a Florida development property that we had previously accounted for under the equity method. This transaction resulted in the consolidation of the property in our consolidated financial statements. Note 5. Notes Receivable from Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships We have ownership interests in a number of real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Notes receivable from these entities bear interest ranging from approximately 2.9% to 10.0% at June 30, 2012 and 2.8% to 10.0% at December 31, 2011. These notes are due at various dates through 2014 and are generally secured by underlying real estate assets. We believe these notes are fully collectible, and no allowance has been recorded. Interest income recognized on these notes was $.7 million and $.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In February 2012, we received $59.2 million in payment of our notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships, in conjunction with the sale of our interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture. See Note 15 for additional information. In April 2011, we eliminated $21.9 million of our notes receivable from real estate joint ventures and partnerships upon the purchase of our partner’s 50% unconsolidated joint venture interest in a Florida development property. Note 6. Debt Our debt consists of the following (in thousands):
11 The grouping of total debt between fixed and variable-rate as well as between secured and unsecured is summarized below (in thousands):
Effective September 30, 2011, we entered into an amended and restated $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The facility expires in September 2015 and provides for a one-year extension upon our request and borrowing rates that float at a margin over LIBOR plus a facility fee. The borrowing margin and facility fee, which are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings, are currently 125.0 and 25.0 basis points, respectively. The facility also contains a competitive bid feature that will allow us to request bids for up to $250 million. Additionally, an accordion feature allows us to increase the facility amount up to $700 million. Effective May 2010, we entered into an agreement with a bank for an unsecured and uncommitted overnight facility totaling $99 million that we intend to maintain for cash management purposes. The facility provides for fixed interest rate loans at a 30 day LIBOR rate plus a borrowing margin based on market liquidity. The following table discloses certain information regarding our unsecured notes payable under our revolving credit facilities (in thousands, except percentages):
Related to a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, we have provided a guaranty for the payment of any debt service shortfalls until a coverage rate of 1.4x is met on tax increment revenue bonds issued in connection with the project. The bonds are to be repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a public improvement fee (“PIF”) to be assessed on current and future retail sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have to provide under a guaranty. The incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier of the date the bond liability has been paid in full or 2040, as extended by the Sheridan Redevelopment Agency (“Agency”) in April 2011. Therefore, a debt service guaranty liability equal to the fair value of the amounts funded under the bonds was recorded. For both periods ended at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had $74.1 million outstanding for the debt service guaranty liability. 12 On August 29, 2011, we entered into a $200 million unsecured term loan of which the proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. The initial term of the loan was one year, which we repaid at par after nine months on May 31, 2012 at our option. In addition, a $115 million 5.3% fixed-rate medium term note matured in May 2012. Various leases and properties, and current and future rentals from those leases and properties, collateralize certain debt. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the carrying value of such assets aggregated $1.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. Scheduled principal payments on our debt (excluding $229.0 million due under our revolving credit facilities, $21.0 million of certain capital leases, $10.8 million fair value of interest rate contracts, $1.6 million net premium/(discount) on debt, $9.6 million of non-cash debt-related items, and $74.1 million debt service guaranty liability) are due during the following years (in thousands):
_______________
Our various debt agreements contain restrictive covenants, including minimum interest and fixed charge coverage ratios, minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratios, minimum net worth requirements and maximum total debt levels. We believe we were in compliance with our public debt and revolving credit facility covenants as of June 30, 2012. Note 7. Derivatives and Hedging The fair value of all our interest rate contracts is reported as follows (in thousands):
Cash Flow Hedges: As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had three active interest rate contracts designated as cash flow hedges with an aggregate notional amount of $26.8 million and $27.1 million, respectively. These contracts have maturities through September 2017 and either fix or cap interest rates ranging from 2.3% to 5.0%. We have determined that these contracts are highly effective in offsetting future variable interest cash flows. 13 As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to cash flow interest rate contracts was $8.8 million and $10.0 million, respectively, and will be reclassified to net interest expense as interest payments are made on our fixed-rate debt. Within the next 12 months, approximately $2.9 million of the balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be amortized to net interest expense related to settled interest rate contracts. A summary of cash flow interest rate contract hedging activity is as follows (in thousands):
Fair Value Hedges: As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had four interest rate contracts, maturing through October 2017, with an aggregate notional amount of $118.7 million and $119.3 million, respectively, that were designated as fair value hedges and convert fixed interest payments at rates from 4.2% to 7.5% to variable interest payments ranging from 0.5% to 4.4%. We have determined that our fair value hedges are highly effective in limiting our risk of changes in the fair value of fixed-rate notes attributable to changes in interest rates. A summary of the changes in fair value of our interest rate contracts is as follows (in thousands):
A summary of our fair value interest rate contract hedges impact on net income is as follows (in thousands):
14 Note 8. Noncontrolling Interests The following table summarizes the effect of changes in our ownership interest in subsidiaries on the equity attributable to us as follows (in thousands):
Note 9. Impairment The following impairment charges were recorded on the following assets based on the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and the estimated fair value (see Note 19 for additional fair value information) (in thousands):
_______________
Note 10. Discontinued Operations For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we sold 13 shopping centers, 53 industrial properties, and we assigned a 75% consolidated joint venture interest to our partner, of which 47 were located in Texas, six each in Georgia and Florida, two each in Louisiana and Virginia and one each in Kansas, North Carolina, Maine and Tennessee. We classified seven shopping centers, of which four are located in Texas and one each in Arizona, Illinois and Oklahoma, as held for sale. As part of these 2012 dispositions, we sold in May 2012 a portfolio of 52 wholly-owned industrial properties in order to exit the industrial real estate market and further align and strengthen our position solely as a retail REIT. As of June 30, 2012, the seven properties classified as held for sale consisted of property and accumulated depreciation totaling $84.0 million and $20.2 million, respectively. 15 During 2011, we sold three industrial properties, of which two were located in Georgia and one in Texas, and eight shopping centers, of which five were located in Texas and one each in Florida, Kansas and North Carolina. As of December 31, 2011, we classified as held for sale seven shopping centers with a net book value of $73.2 million, of which three were located in Texas and one each in Arizona, Florida, Illinois and North Carolina. Included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2011 were $588.1 million of property and $139.2 million of accumulated depreciation related to retail and industrial properties that were either sold during 2012 or classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2012. The operating results of these properties, which includes the seven properties held for sale, have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as follows (in thousands):
We do not allocate other consolidated interest to discontinued operations because the interest savings to be realized from the proceeds of the sale of these operations is not material. 16 Note 11. Cash Flow Information Non-cash investing and financing activities are summarized as follows (in thousands):
17 Note 12. Earnings Per Share Earnings per common share – basic is computed using net income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Earnings per common share – diluted include the effect of potentially dilutive securities. Income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders includes gain on sale of property in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines. Earnings per common share – basic and diluted components for the periods indicated are as follows (in thousands):
Anti-dilutive securities, which are excluded from the calculation of net income per common share – diluted, are as follows (in thousands):
_______________
Note 13. Share Options and Awards In November 2011, we announced changes to the long-term incentive program under our Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan. Future grants of awards will incorporate service-based and two market-based measures for restricted share awards to promote share ownership among the participants and to emphasize the importance of total shareholder return. The terms of each grant vary depending upon the participant's responsibilities and position within the Company. We categorize these share awards as either service-based share awards or market-based share awards. All awards were valued at the fair market value on the date of grant and earn dividends throughout the vesting period. Compensation expense is measured at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. All share awards are awarded subject to the participant’s continued employment with us. 18 The share awards are subject to a three-year cliff vesting basis. Service-based share and market-based share awards are subject to the achievement of select performance goals as follows:
The fair value of the market-based share awards was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model based on the following assumptions:
A summary of the status of unvested restricted share awards for the six months ended June 30, 2012 is as follows:
As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was approximately $6.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted shares, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average of 2.4 years and 2.3 years, respectively. 19 Note 14. Employee Benefit Plans We sponsor a noncontributory qualified retirement plan and a separate and independent nonqualified supplemental retirement plan for certain employees. The components of net periodic benefit cost for both plans are as follows (in thousands):
For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we contributed $2.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively, to the qualified retirement plan. Currently, we do not anticipate making any additional contributions to this plan during 2012. Note 15. Related Parties Through our management activities and transactions with our real estate joint ventures and partnerships, we had net accounts receivable of $1.5 million and $2.2 million outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We also had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $7.6 million and $8.2 million outstanding as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded joint venture fee income of $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we recorded joint venture fee income of $3.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively. In February 2012, we sold our 47.8% unconsolidated joint venture interest in a Colorado development project to our partner with gross sales proceeds totaling $29.1 million, which includes the assumption of our share of debt, generating a gain of $3.5 million. Note 16. Commitments and Contingencies As of June 30, 2012, we participate in four real estate ventures structured as DownREIT partnerships that have properties in Arkansas, California, North Carolina, Texas and Utah. As a general partner, we have operating and financial control over these ventures and consolidate them in our consolidated financial statements. These ventures allow the outside limited partners to exchange their interest in the partnership for our common shares or an equivalent amount in cash. We may acquire any limited partnership interests that are put to the partnership, and we have the option to redeem the interest in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. We also participate in a real estate venture that has a property in Texas that allows its outside partner to put operating partnership units to us. We have the option to redeem these units in cash or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. No common shares were issued in exchange for any of these interests during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The aggregate redemption value of these interests was approximately $42 million and $35 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations in the areas where we own or operate properties. We are not aware of any contamination which may have been caused by us or any of our tenants that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. As part of our risk management activities, we have been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs which will limit our expenses if contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation costs. While we believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation costs, we cannot give absolute assurance that changes in the law or new discoveries of contamination will not result in additional liabilities to us. 20 During 2011, we filed a lawsuit against our joint venture partner in connection with a development project in Sheridan, Colorado for failure to perform on the joint venture’s past due intercompany note payable to us, which has been eliminated within our consolidated financial statements. We are also involved in a consolidated and two unconsolidated joint ventures with this partner. To date, we are unable to determine the outcome of the lawsuit or its potential effects on our other joint ventures with this partner. As of June 30, 2012, we have entered into commitments aggregating $67.3 million comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months. We are also involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the amounts involved, our management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, any additional liability, if any, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Note 17. Variable Interest Entities Consolidated VIEs: Two of our real estate joint ventures whose activities principally consist of owning and operating 30 neighborhood/community shopping centers, of which 22 are located in Texas, three in Georgia, two each in Tennessee and Florida and one in North Carolina, were determined to be VIEs. These VIEs have financing agreements that are guaranteed solely by us for tax planning purposes. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary and have consolidated these joint ventures. A summary of our consolidated VIEs is as follows (in thousands):
_______________
Restrictions on the use of these assets are significant because they are collateral for the VIEs’ debt, and we would generally be required to obtain our partners’ approval in accordance with the joint venture agreements for any major transactions. Transactions with these joint ventures on our consolidated financial statements have been limited to changes in noncontrolling interests and reductions in debt from our partners’ contributions. We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements which include provisions for when additional contributions may be required including operating cash shortfalls and unplanned capital expenditures. We have not provided any additional support to the VIEs as of June 30, 2012. Unconsolidated VIEs: At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures were determined to be VIEs through the issuance of secured loans, of which $21.2 million of debt associated with a tenancy-in-common arrangement is recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, since the lenders have the ability to make decisions that could have a significant impact on the success of the entities. At December 31, 2011, we had one unconsolidated real estate joint venture with an interest in an entity, which was deemed to be a VIE since the unconsolidated joint venture provided a guaranty for the entity’s debt; however, in February 2012, our unconsolidated joint venture interest associated with these entities was sold. A summary of our unconsolidated VIEs is as follows (in thousands):
_______________
21 We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements that specify conditions, including operating shortfalls and unplanned capital expenditures, under which additional contributions may be required. Note 18. Business Combinations Effective April 13, 2011, we acquired our partner’s 50% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture related to a development property in Florida, which resulted in the consolidation of this property. Management has determined that this transaction qualified as a business combination to be accounted for under the acquisition method. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of this transaction were recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at its estimated fair value as of the effective date, with any applicable partner’s share of the resulting net change included in noncontrolling interests. Fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity interests was estimated using market-based measurements, including cash flow and other valuation techniques. The fair value measurement is based on both significant inputs for similar assets and liabilities in comparable markets and significant inputs that are not observable in the markets in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy. Key assumptions include third-party broker valuation estimates, discount rate of 8%, a terminal capitalization rate for similar properties, and factors that we believe market participants would consider in estimating fair value. The result of this transaction is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income beginning April 13, 2011. The following table summarizes the transaction related to the business combination, including the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as indicated (in thousands):
_______________
As a result of the above business combination, we recognized a gain of $4.6 million which is attributable to the realization upon consolidation of our preferred return on equity. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, this gain is included in discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as the property was sold during December 2011. 22 During 2012, we have acquired two shopping centers located in California and Texas. The following table summarizes the transactions related to these acquisitions, including the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as indicated (in thousands):
The following table summarizes the impact to revenues and net income attributable to common shareholders from our acquisitions as follows (in thousands):
The following table summarizes the pro forma impact of these transactions as if they had been consolidated or acquired on January 1, 2011, the earliest year presented, as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
_______________
23 Note 19. Fair Value Measurements Recurring Fair Value Measurements: Investments Held in Grantor Trusts These assets are valued based on publicly quoted market prices for identical assets. Derivative Instruments We use interest rate contracts with major financial institutions to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments 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 flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of our interest rate contracts have 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. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counter-party’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral, thresholds and guarantees. In conjunction with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, an accounting policy election was made to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counter-parties. However, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that the derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 24 Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements fall, are as follows (in thousands):
