2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any interests in variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current, and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates.
Reclassifications
As discussed below, certain amounts previously reported in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified in the accompanying consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation.
During the second quarter of 2018, the Company identified certain immaterial classification errors on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and determined that, in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and future periodic reports, the Company would correct these classification errors. One classification error
6
Table of Contents
was corrected by including within the changes in operating assets and liabilities in the operating activities section a new line item for "Interest receivable." A corresponding adjustment was recorded to reduce the amount of "Notes receivable issuances" within investing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. These reclassifications totaled
$2.2 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
. These reclassifications decreased "Net cash provided by operating activities" and "Net cash used for investing activities" by an equal and offsetting amount. These reclassifications did not have any impact on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Equity, or any other operating measure for the periods affected.
These amounts were previously presented as "Notes receivable issuances," a component of net cash used for investing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, resulting in overstatements in cash provided by operating activities and overstatements of cash used in investing activities. These amounts represent interest earned on mezzanine loans that were funded by additional borrowings as provided for in the mezzanine loan agreements. These amounts are now classified as changes in interest receivable, a non-cash adjustment to calculate net cash provided by operating activities.
The second classification error was corrected by including within financing activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows a new line item for "Common shares tendered for tax withholding." A corresponding adjustment was recorded to the "Changes in operating assets and liabilities: Property liabilities" within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This reclassification totaled
$0.3 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
. This reclassification increased "Net cash provided by operating activities" and decreased "Net cash provided by financing activities" by an equal and offsetting amount.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Leases
On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets (ASU 2016-02—
Leases
(Topic 842)). The new standard also makes targeted changes to lessor accounting. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented as permitted in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842.
In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and not reassess initial direct costs for existing leases. As of March 31, 2019, Company does not have any leases classified as finance leases. The Company also elected a practical expedient that allowed it to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each lease and non-lease component as a single lease component. The adoption of the new standard as of January 1, 2019 did not impact the Company's consolidated results of operations and had no impact on cash flows.
As a lessee, the Company has
six
ground leases on
five
properties with initial terms that range from
20
to
65 years
and options to extend up to an additional
70 years
in certain cases. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The long-term ground leases represent a majority of the Company's current operating lease payments. The Company recorded right-of-use assets totaling
$32.2 million
and lease liabilities totaling
$41.4 million
upon adopting this standard on January 1, 2019. The Company utilized a weighted average discount rate of
5.4%
to measure its lease liabilities upon adoption.
As a lessor, the Company leases its properties under operating leases and recognizes base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also recognizes revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse the Company on an accrual basis for certain expenses such as utilities, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance, security and alarms, parking lot and ground maintenance, administrative services, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. Rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. In addition, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. Many tenant leases include
one
or more options to renew, with
7
Table of Contents
renewal terms that can extend the lease term from
one
to
15
years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the tenant's sole discretion. The Company includes a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably assured.
The new standard includes new considerations regarding the recognition of rental revenue when collection is not probable. The Company changed its presentation and measurement of charges for uncollectable lease revenue associated with its office, retail, and residential leasing activity, reflecting those amounts as a component of rental income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. However, in accordance with its prospective adoption of the standard, the Company did not adjust the prior year period presentation of charges for uncollectable lease revenue associated with its office, retail, and residential leasing activity as a component of operating expenses, excluding property taxes, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Instead, the Company recorded a combined adjustment of
$0.2 million
to the opening balances for distributions in excess of earnings and noncontrolling interest relating to receivables where collection of substantially all operating lease payments was not probable as of January 1, 2019.
Lease-related receivables, which include contractual amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants and accrued straight-line rents receivable, are reduced for credit losses. Such amounts are recognized as a reduction to real estate rental revenues. The Company evaluates the collectability of lease receivables using several factors, including a lessee’s creditworthiness. The Company recognizes a credit loss on lease-related receivables when, in the opinion of management, collection of substantially all lease payments is not probable. When collectability is determined not probable, any lease income subsequent to recognizing the credit loss is limited to the lesser of the lease income reflected on a straight-line basis or cash collected.
Credit losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
(Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance will replace the "incurred loss" approach under existing guidance with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at amortized cost such as our notes receivable. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on the consolidated financial statements, the Company expects that the adoption could result in earlier recognition of a provision for loan losses on its notes receivable.
Other Accounting Policies
See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
for a description of other accounting principles upon which basis the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared.
3. Segments
Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. Net operating income is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, net operating income should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate net operating income in the same manner. The Company considers net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate, construction, and lending businesses.

8. Construction Contracts
Construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned under contracts in progress as of the balance sheet date. Such amounts become billable according to contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. The Company expects to bill and collect substantially all construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings as of
March 31, 2019
during the next twelve months.
Billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings represent billings or collections on contracts made in advance of revenue recognized.
The following table summarizes the changes to the balances in the Company’s construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings account and the billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings account for the

The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.

10. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company may enter into interest rate derivative contracts to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value and presented within other assets and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that are neither designated nor qualify as hedging instruments are recognized within the change in fair value of interest rate derivatives in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3 — unobservable inputs
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest
19
Table of Contents
rate swaps and caps. The Company measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.
Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are not measured at fair value but for which the fair value is disclosed include the Company's notes receivable and indebtedness. The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
In certain cases, the inputs used to estimate the fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of
March 31, 2019
and

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
The Company currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Management accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe
20
Table of Contents
that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
Under the Company’s leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify the Company from and against all liabilities, costs, and expenses imposed upon or asserted against it as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant.

Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements.

Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all).

•
our failure to develop the properties in our development pipeline successfully, on the anticipated timelines, or at the anticipated costs;
•
our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;
•
defaults on, early terminations of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants, including significant tenants;

our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on favorable terms or at all;
•
our inability to extend the maturity of or refinance existing debt or comply with the financial covenants in the agreements that govern our existing debt;
•
financial market fluctuations;
•
risks that affect the general retail environment or the market for office properties or multifamily units;

potential negative impacts from the recent changes to the U.S. tax laws.
While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events, or other changes after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by applicable law.

Acquisitions
On February 6, 2019, we acquired an additional outparcel phase of Wendover Village in Greensboro, North Carolina for a contract price of $2.7 million. This phase is leased by a single tenant.
On March 14, 2019, we acquired the office and retail portions of the One City Center project in exchange for a redemption of its
37%
equity ownership in the joint venture with Austin Lawrence Partners, which totaled
$23.0 million
as of the acquisition date, and a cash payment of
$22.9 million
. We obtained a new loan in the amount of
$25.6 million
in conjunction with this acquisition, which may be increased to $27.6 million subject to certain conditions.
On April 25, 2019, we purchased a 79% controlling interest in 1405 Point, a 17-story luxury high-rise apartment building located in the emerging Harbor Point area of the Baltimore waterfront in exchange for extinguishing our note receivable on the project and a cash payment of $0.3 million. The project is subject to a loan payable of
$64.9 million
.
On April 29, 2019, we entered into contribution agreements with Venture Realty Group to acquire Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop with Venture Realty Group for aggregate consideration of
$105.0 million
, comprised of
4.1 million
Class A units of limited partnership interest in the operating partnership ("Class A Units") valued at $15.55 per unit, the assumption of
$36.0 million
of mortgage debt, and
$5.0 million
in cash. In connection with the acquisition, we expect to enter into a tax protection agreement with the contributors pursuant to which the we will agree, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify the contributors for up to
10 years
against certain tax liabilities incurred by them, if such liabilities result from a transaction involving a direct or indirect taxable disposition of either or both of these properties or if the Operating Partnership fails to maintain and allocate to the sellers for taxation purposes minimum levels of Operating Partnership liabilities.
Dispositions
On April 1, 2019, we sold Waynesboro Commons for a sale price of
$1.1 million
.

Segment Results of Operations
As of
March 31, 2019
, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, and (iv) general contracting and real estate services, which are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) ("NOI") is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of NOI to net income.
We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the occupancy criterion above is again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.

March 31, 2019
increased
4.8%
compared to the three months ended

due to the acquisition of One City Center.
Retail real estate taxes for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
increased
7.6%
compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2018
, primarily as a result of the three property acquisitions completed during 2018 and the commencement of operations at Premier Retail (Part of Town Center Phase IV) in the third quarter of 2018. These increases were partially

offset by the disposal of the leasehold interest in the building previously leased by Home Depot at Broad Creek Shopping Center.
Multifamily real estate taxes for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
increased
26.0%
compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2018
, as a result of the commencement of operations at Greenside and Premier Apartments (Part of Town Center Phase IV) during 2018.
General contracting and real estate services expenses for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
decreased
27.3%
compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2018
. While we have significant backlog, particularly with regards to the Interlock Commercial and Solis Apartments projects, these projects were in the early stages during the first quarter of 2019. During the 2018 period, we recognized higher expenses primarily relating to One City Center, Point Street, and Dinwiddie Municipal.
Depreciation and amortization for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
increased
6.7%
compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2018
as a result of development properties placed in service and acquisitions of operating properties.
General and administrative expenses for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
increased
14.9%
compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2018
primarily as a result of higher salaries, benefits, and professional fees.
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the three months ended
March 31, 2019
increased
$0.3 million
compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2018
primarily due to the write off of costs relating to a potential development that was abandoned during the three months ended
March 31, 2019
.
Interest expense for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
increased
34.6%
compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2018
primarily as a result of the increase in interest rates between periods as well as increased borrowings on the corporate credit facility, increased borrowings on construction loans, and additional borrowings on operating property loans.
The change in fair value of interest rate derivatives for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
was negative due to a downward shift in forward LIBOR rates, particularly as it relates to projected rates two years from now and beyond. The change in fair value of interest rate derivatives for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
was positive based on market expectations at that time that floating interest rates would continue to rise.
Income tax benefit that we recognized during the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and
2018
, respectively, were attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans, borrowings available under our credit facility, and net proceeds from the sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program"), which is discussed below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, capital improvements, and mezzanine loan funding requirements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of
March 31, 2019
, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of
$15.6 million
available for both current liquidity needs as well as development activities. We also had restricted cash in escrow of
$3.4 million
, some of which is available for capital expenditures at our operating properties. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had
$56.6 million
available under our credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $40.2 million available under our construction loans to fund development activities.
We have no loans scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2019.
ATM Program
On February 26, 2018, we commenced our ATM Program through which we are able to, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to
$125.0 million
. During the
three months ended March 31, 2019
, we issued and sold an aggregate of
2,071,000
shares of common stock at an average price of
$14.78
per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of
$30.2 million
. As of April 30, 2019, we had $26.5 million in remaining availability under the 2018 ATM Program.
Credit Facility
We have a senior credit facility that was modified on January 31, 2019 to increase the maximum total commitments to
$355.0 million
, comprised of a
$150.0 million
senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a
$205.0 million
senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility), with a syndicate of banks. We intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be further increased to
$450.0 million
, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of
October 26, 2021
, with
two
six
-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a
0.075%
extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of
October 26, 2022
.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from
1.40%
to
2.00%
and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from
1.35%
to
1.95%
, in each case depending on our total leverage. We are also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of
15
or
25
basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the credit facility. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from S&P and Moody’s, we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on our credit ratings.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.

Table of Contents
The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•
Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition that is equal to or greater than 10% of our total asset value (as defined in the credit agreement), but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•
Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•
Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of 75% of tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) as of September 30, 2017 and 75% of the net equity proceeds received after June 30, 2017;
•
Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•
Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•
Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition that is equal to or greater than 10% of our total asset value, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•
Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•
Ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in the credit agreement) to all unsecured debt of not less than 12%;
•
Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than $300.0 million at any time; and
•
Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the credit agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The credit facility limits our ability to pay cash dividends. However, so long as no default or event of default exists, the credit agreement allows us to pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period in an amount not to exceed the greater of: (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the amount required for us (a) to maintain our status as a REIT and (b) to avoid income or excise tax under the Code. If certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period to the extent necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. The credit facility also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts the amount of stock and Operating Partnership units that we may repurchase during the term of the credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.

Interest Rate Derivatives
On February 20, 2015, we entered into a $50.0 million floating-to-fixed interest rate swap attributable to one-month LIBOR indexed interest payments. The $50.0 million interest rate swap has a fixed rate of 2.00%, an effective date of March 1, 2016 and a maturity date of February 20, 2020. We entered into this interest rate swap agreement in connection with the $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.95%, depending on our total leverage.
On April 23, 2018, we entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap attributable to one-month LIBOR-indexed interest payments with a notional amount of
$50.0 million
. The interest rate swap has a fixed rate of
2.78%
, an effective date of May 1, 2018, and a maturity date of May 1, 2023.
On July 27, 2018, we entered into a LIBOR interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest rate of the new Johns Hopkins Village note payable at
4.19%
per annum with a maturity date of August 7, 2025. We designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes.
On October 12, 2018, we entered into a LIBOR interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest rate of the initial
$10.5 million
tranche of the new Lightfoot Marketplace note payable at
4.77%
per annum until stabilization and
4.62%
per annum thereafter. The swap matures on October 12, 2023. We designated the interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have entered into standby letters of credit using the available capacity under the credit facility. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event we do not perform. As of
March 31, 2019
, we had outstanding standby letters of credit for
$2.4 million
that expire during
2019
. However, our standby letters of credit may be renewed for additional periods until required conditions are satisfied. The letters of credit outstanding at
March 31, 2019
related primarily to the guarantee on the 1405 Point senior construction loan. This letter of credit was released on April 25, 2019.
In connection with the our mezzanine lending activities, we have guaranteed payment of portions of certain senior loans of third parties associated with the development projects. The following table summarizes the guarantees we made as of

$12.3 million
more in cash compared to the

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of
37
Table of Contents
deferred financing costs), impairment of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculation of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our year-over-year performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and Normalized FFO for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2019
and

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon then-currently available information. Actual results

could differ from these estimates. We discuss the accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to understanding our reported financial results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2018
.
On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets (ASU 2016-02—
Leases
(Topic 842)). The new standard also makes targeted changes to lessor accounting. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented as permitted in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842.
In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and not reassess initial direct costs for existing leases. As of March 31, 2019, we do not have any leases classified as finance leases. We also elected a practical expedient that allowed us to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each lease and non-lease component as a single lease component. The adoption of the new standard as of January 1, 2019 did not impact our consolidated results of operations and had no impact on cash flows.
As a lessee we have six ground leases on five properties with initial terms that range from 20 to 65 years and options to extend up to an additional 70 years in certain cases. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The long-term ground leases, represent a majority of our current operating lease payments. We recorded right-of-use assets totaling
$32.2 million
and lease liabilities totaling
$41.4 million
upon adopting this standard on January 1, 2019. We utilized a weighted average discount rate of
5.4%
to measure our lease liabilities upon adoption.
As a lessor we lease our properties under operating leases and recognize base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also recognize revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us on an accrual basis for certain expenses such as utilities, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance, security and alarms, parking lot and ground maintenance, administrative services, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. Rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. In addition, we recognize contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. Many tenant leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 15 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the tenant's sole discretion. We include a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably assured.
The new standard includes new considerations regarding the recognition of rental revenue when collection is not probable. We changed our presentation and measurement of charges for uncollectable lease revenue associated with office, retail, and residential leasing activity, reflecting those amounts as a component of rental income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2019. However, in accordance with our prospective adoption of the standard, we did not adjust the prior year period presentation of charges for uncollectable lease revenue associated with its office, retail, and residential leasing activity as a component of operating expenses, excluding property taxes, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Instead, we recorded a combined adjustment of
$0.2 million
to the opening balances for distributions in excess of earnings and noncontrolling interest relating to receivables where collection of substantially all operating lease payments was not probable as of January 1, 2019.
Lease-related receivables, which include contractual amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants and accrued straight-line rents receivable, are reduced for credit losses. Such amounts are recognized as a reduction to real estate rental revenues. We evaluate the collectability of lease receivables using several factors, including a lessee’s creditworthiness. We recognize a credit loss on lease-related receivables when, in the opinion of management, collection of substantially all lease payments is not probable. When collectability is determined not probable, any lease income subsequent to recognizing the credit loss is limited to the lesser of the lease income reflected on a straight-line basis or cash collected.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On a limited basis, we also use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. We do not use these derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes.
At
March 31, 2019
and excluding unamortized GAAP adjustments, approximately
$422.8 million
, or
56.8%
, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately
$321.3 million
, or
43.2%
, had variable interest rates. At
March 31, 2019
, LIBOR was approximately
249
basis points. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by only
$0.7 million
per year as a result of the interest rate caps. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR decreased by 100 basis points, our cash flow would increase by
$1.6 million
per year.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of
March 31, 2019
, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of
March 31, 2019
, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act: (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended
March 31, 2019
that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
