EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended
June 30, 2015
of Brandywine Realty Trust (the “Parent Company”) and Brandywine Operating Partnership L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company is a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company”. In addition, as used in this report, terms such as “we”, “us”, and “our” may refer to the Company, the Parent Company, or the Operating Partnership.
The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of
June 30, 2015
, owned a
99.1%
interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining
0.9%
interest consists of common units of limited partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership to third parties in exchange for contributions of properties to the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete authority over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day operations and management.
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.
As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. The separate discussions of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company's operations on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.
The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into a single report will result in the following benefits:
•
facilitate a better understanding by the investors of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•
remove duplicative disclosures and provide a more straightforward presentation in light of the fact that a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and
•
create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
There are few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the footnote disclosures in this report. The Company believes it is important to understand the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how these entities operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing the debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the Company and directly or indirectly holds the ownership interests in the Company’s Real Estate Ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the Company’s business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s incurrence of indebtedness (directly and through subsidiaries) and through the issuance of partnership units of the Operating Partnership or equity interests in subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
The equity and non-controlling interests in the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership’s equity are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. The common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ equity in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements while the common units of limited partnership interests held by parties other than the Parent Company are presented as non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements. The differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership’s equity relate to the differences in the equity issued at the Parent Company and Operating Partnership levels.
3
To help investors understand the significant differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following as separate notes or sections for each of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership:
•
Consolidated Financial Statements; and
•
Parent Company’s and Operating Partnership’s Equity.
This report also includes separate Item 4. (Controls and Procedures) disclosures and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the Parent Company and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. § 1350.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosures of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to such disclosures as those of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and Real Estate Ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Parent Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of
June 30, 2015
, the results of its operations for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015
and
2014
and its cash flows for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in their combined
2014
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
February 19, 2015
.
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014
contains a discussion of our significant accounting policies under Note 2,
"Summary of Significant Accounting Policies".
There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies since
December 31, 2014
. Management discusses our significant accounting policies and management’s judgments and estimates with the Company's Audit Committee.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On July 9, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") elected to defer the effective date of the revenue recognition standard issued in May 2014 by one year. Reporting entities may choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date or for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Calendar year-end public entities are therefore required to apply the new revenue guidance beginning in their 2018 interim and annual financial statements. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial
18
statements. See Note 2, "
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
," included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 for the Company's initial disclosure of this standard.
In April 2015, the FASB issued guidance simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt. The amortization of these costs will remain under the interest method and will continue to be reported as interest expense. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance modifying the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not change the general order in which the consolidation models are applied. A reporting entity that holds an economic interest in, or is otherwise involved with, another legal entity first determines if the variable interest entity model applies, and if so, whether it holds a controlling financial interest under that model. If the entity being evaluated for consolidation is not a variable interest entity, then the voting model should be applied to determine whether the entity should be consolidated by the reporting entity. Key changes to the guidance include, though are not limited to; (i.) limiting the extent to which related party interests are included in the other economic interest criterion to the decision maker’s effective interest holding, (ii.) requiring limited partners of a limited partnership, or the members of a limited liability company that is similar to a limited partnership, to have, at minimum, kick-out or participating rights to demonstrate that the partnership is a voting entity, (iii.) changing the evaluation of whether the equity holders at risk lack decision making rights when decision making is outsourced and (iv.) changing how the economics test is performed. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities or voting model entities. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions
On
June 22, 2015
, through a series of transactions with International Business Machines ("IBM"), the Company acquired the remaining
50.0%
interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, consisting of
seven
office buildings and the
66.0
acre underlying land parcel located in
Austin, Texas
, for an aggregate purchase price of
$211.4 million
. The office buildings contain
1,112,236
net rentable square feet of office space and were
100.0%
occupied as of June 30, 2015. The Company funded the cost of the acquisition with an aggregate cash payment of
$143.8 million
, consisting of
$81.0 million
from available corporate funds and
$62.8 million
previously held in escrow related to a Section 1031 like-kind exchange. Part of the cash payment was used at closing to repay, at no repayment penalty, the remaining
$51.2 million
of secured debt. The Company incurred
$0.2 million
of acquisition related costs that are classified within general and administrative expenses.
The Company previously accounted for its
50.0%
non-controlling interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates under the equity method of accounting. As a result of acquiring IBM's remaining
50.0%
common interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, the Company obtained control of Broadmoor Austin Associates and the Company's existing investment balance was remeasured based on fair value of the underlying properties acquired and the existing distribution provisions under the relevant partnership agreement. As a result, the Company recorded a
$0.8 million
gain on remeasurement.
19
The Company has treated its acquisition of the
50.0%
ownership interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities. The Company utilized a number of sources in making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangibles assets acquired and intangible liabilities assumed. As of June 30, 2015, the purchase price is preliminary and subject to change. The purchase price has been allocated as follows:

Included in the pro forma income for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are total revenues of
$3.2 million
and
$3.4 million
, respectively, and net income attributable to common shareholders of
$2.7 million
and
$2.5 million
, respectively. Included in the pro forma income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are total revenues of
$6.5 million
and
$7.2 million
, respectively, and net income attributable to common shareholders of
$5.1 million
and
$5.4 million
, respectively. For both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014,
$0.2 million
of acquisition related costs is included in 2014 as if the transaction occurred January 1, 2014.
On
April 9, 2015
, the Company acquired the leasehold interest in a
0.4
acre land parcel at
405 Colorado Street
located in the central business district of
Austin, Texas
for
$2.6 million
. The property is currently being operated as a surface parking lot with the intent to develop the site into an office property. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition.
On
April 6, 2015
, the Company acquired a
0.8
acre parcel of land, located at 25 M Street Southeast,
Washington, D.C.
for
$20.3 million
. The Company funded the cost of this acquisition with available corporate funds. The Company capitalized
$0.3 million
of acquisition related costs and these costs are included as part of land inventory on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. On
May 12, 2015
, the Company subsequently contributed the land parcel into a newly formed real estate venture known as 25 M Street Holdings, LLC (“25 M Street”), a joint venture between the Company and Jaco 25 M Investors, LLC (“Akridge”), an unaffiliated third party, with the intent to construct a
271,000
square foot Class A office property. The Company holds a
95.0%
ownership interest in 25 M Street and Akridge contributed
$1.0 million
in cash for its
5.0%
ownership interest in 25 M Street. The
$1.0 million
contribution from Akridge was distributed to the Company. The partners of the venture have not determined the timing and cost of construction for the project as of
June 30, 2015
.
On
April 2, 2015
, the Company acquired, from an unaffiliated third party, a property comprised of a parking garage with
330
parking spaces and mixed-use space totaling
14,404
rentable square feet located at
618 Market Street
in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
for an aggregate fair value of
$19.4 million
. The property is currently fully operational. The purchase price includes contingent consideration, recorded at fair value and payable to the seller upon commencement of development, totaling
$1.6 million
and cash of
$17.8 million
.
The Company has treated the acquisition of 618 Market Street as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets. The Company utilized a number of sources in making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangibles assets acquired. The Company allocated
$19.2 million
to building, land and improvements and
$0.2 million
to intangible assets.
The fair value of contingent consideration was determined using a probability weighted discounted cash flow model. The significant input to the model was the Company's weighted average cost of capital. As this input is unobservable, the Company determined the input used to value this liability falls within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

(c)
The Company recorded an impairment loss of
$1.7 million
for Lake Merritt Tower at March 31, 2015. As such, there was no gain/(loss) at disposition for this property. Sales proceeds were deposited in escrow under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and applied to purchase the Broadmoor Austin portfolio. Refer to Broadmoor Austin Associates acquisition summary, above, for further details.
The sales of properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. The operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.
As a result of selling
$147.5 million
of real estate as of June 30, 2015, the Company increased its current year business plan disposition target from
$180.0 million
to
$300.0 million
. The Company is exploring the disposition of several properties, individually or as a portfolio, during the remainder of 2015 in alignment with its business plan. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has not entered into agreements to sell additional properties nor can we provide assurance as to any/or which properties for which a sale might be realized. Accordingly, the Company has prepared undiscounted cash flow analyses for the relevant properties based upon several reasonably possible scenarios and the estimated likelihood of each scenario occurring. These estimated probability weighted undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying values for the properties, and, therefore, no impairment charge has been recorded at June 30, 2015. Significant estimates were made in the determination of the future undiscounted cash flows, including expected future rents and operating expenses, holding periods, cash proceeds at the end of the estimated holding period and the probability of the various reasonably possible scenarios. Changes to estimates made by management for certain properties, including those related to holding periods, may result in the recognition of impairment losses, and such amounts could be material to the Company’s results of operations.
Impairments Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis
During the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
, the Company recognized
$2.5 million
in impairment charges on properties sold to reduce the carrying value of the properties to their sales price in connection with the anticipated disposition. The fair value measurement related to these impairment charges was determined by the respective sales agreement. As the sales price is unobservable, the Company determined that the significant input used to value these real estate investments falls within Level 3 for fair value reporting.

4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED VENTURES
As of
June 30, 2015

$201.0 million
is included in assets and
$1.2 million

5.6 million
net rentable square feet;
four
real estate ventures owned
5.2
acres of undeveloped parcels of land;
two
real estate ventures owned
21.8
acres of land under development;
one
real estate venture owned a residential tower that contains
345
apartment units and
one
real estate venture owned a hotel property that contains
137
rooms in Conshohocken, PA.
The Company accounts for its unconsolidated interests in its Real Estate Ventures using the equity method. The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from
20%
to
70%
, subject to specified priority allocations of distributable cash in certain of the Real Estate Ventures.
The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity and income) are based on the historical financial information of the individual Real Estate Ventures. The Company does not record operating losses of a Real Estate Venture in excess of its investment balance unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the Real Estate Venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the Real Estate Venture.
The following is a summary of the financial position of the Real Estate Ventures as of
June 30, 2015

JBG - Ventures
On
May 29, 2015
, the Company and an unaffiliated third party, JBG/DC Manager, LLC ("JBG"), formed 51 N 50 Patterson, Holdings, LLC Venture ("51 N Street") and 1250 First Street Office, LLC Venture ("1250 First Street"), as real estate ventures, with the Company owning a
70.0%
interest and JBG owning a
30.0%
interest in each of the two ventures. At formation, the Company and JBG made cash contributions of
$15.2 million
and
$6.5 million
, respectively, to 51 N Street, which was used to purchase
0.9
acres of undeveloped land. At formation, the Company and JBG made cash capital contributions of
$13.2 million
and
$5.7 million
, respectively, to 1250 First Street, which was used to purchase
0.5
acres of undeveloped land.
Based upon the facts and circumstances at formation of each of the two ventures with JBG, the Company determined that each venture is a VIE in accordance with the accounting standard for the consolidation of VIEs. As a result, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate the JBG Ventures. JBG is the managing member of the ventures, and pursuant to the operating and related agreements, major decisions require the approval of both members. Based upon each member's shared power over the activities of each of the two ventures, which most significantly impact the economics of the ventures, neither venture is consolidated by the Company. Each venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Broadmoor Austin Associates
On
June 22, 2015
, the Company became the sole owner of Broadmoor Austin Associates upon the Company's acquisition from an unaffiliated third party of the remaining
50.0%
ownership interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates. Broadmoor Austin Associates owns seven office buildings in
Austin, Texas
. See Note 3,

May 12, 2015
, the Company contributed the parcel of land purchased on April 9, 2015 into a newly formed real estate venture known as 25 M Street, a joint venture between the Company and Akridge, an unaffiliated third party. See Note 3,
"Real Estate Investments,"
for further information.
Based on the facts and circumstances at formation of 25 M Street, the Company determined that 25 M Street is a variable interest entity (VIE) in accordance with the accounting standard for consolidation of VIEs. Accordingly, the Company used the variable interest model under the accounting standard for consolidation in order to determine whether to consolidate 25 M Street. Under the operating and related agreements the Company has the power to control substantially all of the activities which most significantly impact the economics of 25 M Street, and accordingly, 25 M Street is consolidated within the Company’s financial statements.
DRA - PA Venture
On December 19, 2007, the Company formed G&I Interchange Office LLC, a real estate venture (the “Interchange Venture”), with an unaffiliated third party, G&I VI Investment Interchange Office LLC (“G&I VI”), an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC. The Interchange Venture owns
29
office properties containing an aggregate of
1,611,961
net rentable square feet located in Montgomery, Lehigh and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania. The Company contributed these
29
properties to the Interchange Venture upon the Venture's formation and in exchange for the contribution received a cash distribution from the Venture and a
20.0%
ownership interest in the Venture.
24
On February 27, 2015, the Venture entered into a forbearance agreement with an unaffiliated lender that holds a nonrecourse mortgage on the Venture's assets. The mortgage secures a nonrecourse loan with an outstanding balance of
$174.2 million
. The loan matured on January 1, 2015. The forbearance agreement extended the maturity date of the mortgage loan to July 31, 2015 and contains, at the lender’s option, a
60
-day extension option. The lender has the exclusive right to sell the properties to a third-party purchaser during the forbearance period. The lender will receive the net proceeds from the sale of the properties. If the properties are not sold during the forbearance period, then the lender will foreclose on the assets.
The Company has no obligation to fund any amounts to the lender under the loan or mortgage. The Company has not had any investment basis in the Venture since formation of the Venture in 2007. The Company is not obligated to fund any of the losses incurred by the Venture and, as a result, has not recognized losses in excess of its invested capital balance.
Austin Venture
On January 30, 2015, the Austin Venture closed on a mortgage loan with a non-affiliated institutional lender, and used the proceeds of the loan to repay in full an
$88.0 million

6. DEBT OBLIGATIONS
During the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015
, the Company repaid
$3.6 million
and
$7.2 million
, respectively, of principal on its mortgage debt in the ordinary course of business. There were no changes to our outstanding unsecured debt.
On
May 15, 2015
, the Company closed on a new
four
-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") that provides for borrowings of up to
$600.0 million
. The Company expects to use advances under the New Credit Facility for general business purposes, including to fund costs of acquisitions, developments and redevelopments of properties and to repay from time to time other debt. On terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement, the Company may enter into unsecured term loans and/or increase the initial amount of the credit facility by up to, in the aggregate for all such term loans and increases, an additional
$400.0 million
. The New Credit Facility includes a
$65.0 million
sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a
$60.0 million
sub-limit for swing-loans. The New Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of May 15, 2019, and is subject to two six-month extensions on terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement.
At the Company's option, loans outstanding under the New Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1)
LIBOR plus between 0.875% and 1.55%
based on the Company's credit rating or (2) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent's prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus
0.5%
or (c) LIBOR for a one month period plus
1.00%
, in each case, plus a margin ranging from
0.0%
to
0.55%
based on the Company's credit rating. The New Credit Facility also contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to the Company at a reduced interest rate. In addition, the Company is also obligated to pay (1) in quarterly installments a facility fee on the total commitment at a rate per annum ranging from
0.125%
to
0.30%
based on the Company's credit rating and (2) an annual fee on the undrawn amount of each letter or credit equal to the LIBOR Margin. Based on the Company's current credit rating, the LIBOR margin is
1.20%
and the facility fee is
0.25%
. The Company had no borrowings under the New Credit Facility as of
June 30, 2015
.
The terms of the New Credit Facility require that the Company maintain customary financial and other covenants, including: (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to
1.5
to 1.00; (ii) a minimum net worth; (iii) a leverage ratio less than or equal to
0.60
to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (iv) a ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value less than or equal to
0.60
to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (v) ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value less than or equal to
0.40
to 1.00; and (vi) a ratio of unencumbered cash flow to interest expense on unsecured debt greater than
1.75
to 1.00. In addition, the New Credit Facility restricts payments of dividends and distributions on shares in excess of
95%
of the Company's funds from
26
operations (FFO) except to the extent necessary to enable the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. At June 30, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the New Credit Facility.
Concurrently with its entry into the New Credit Facility, the Company terminated its then existing unsecured revolving credit facility, which had a scheduled maturity date of February 1, 2016.
A copy of the New Credit Facility is an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 21, 2015. A copy of the prior credit facility is an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
On June 1, 2015, the Company amended its Term Loan C Agreement dated December 15, 2011 to align the above aforementioned financial and operating covenants and restrictions of the New Credit Facility with that of Term Loan C. The amendment is filed as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See Item 6.,"
Exhibits.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company determined the fair values disclosed below using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses as of
June 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
, respectively. The discount rate used in calculating fair value is the sum of the current risk free rate and the risk premium on the date of measurement of the instruments or obligations. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize upon disposition. The use of different estimates and valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the fair value amounts shown. The Company believes that the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at
June 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimates of fair value differ from the carrying amounts (in thousands):

On January 30, 2015 the mortgage note was repaid. For further information regarding the mortgage note, see Note 2, "
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
," included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
The fair value of the Company's unsecured notes payable are categorized as Level 2 (as provided by the accounting standard for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). This is because the Company valued these instruments using quoted market prices as of
June 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
. For the fair value of the Company's variable rate debt, the Company uses a discount rate based on the indicative new issue pricing provided by lenders.
The fair value of the Company's mortgage notes payable, variable rate debt and mortgage note receivable are all categorized at a Level 3 basis (as provided by the accounting standard for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value of the variable rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, as applicable. The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a blended market rate for loans with similar terms, maturities and loan-to-value. The fair value of the mortgage note receivable was determined by using the expected cash flows of the notes receivable, and discounting those cash flows using the market rate of interest for mortgage notes with a comparable level of risk. These financial instruments have been categorized as Level 3 because the Company considers the rates used in the valuation techniques to be unobservable inputs.
For the Company's mortgage loans, the Company uses an estimate based on its knowledge of the mortgage market. The weighted average discount rate for the combined variable rate debt and mortgage loans used to calculate fair value as of
June 30, 2015
was
4.5%
. An increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in a decrease to the fair value of the
27
Company's long-term debt. Conversely, a decrease in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in an increase to the fair value of the Company's long-term debt.
Disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments is based upon pertinent information available to management as of
June 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since
June 30, 2015
, and current estimates of fair value may differ from the amounts presented herein.
8. LIMITED PARTNERS' NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS IN THE PARENT COMPANY
Non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements relate to redeemable common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by parties other than the Parent Company and properties which are consolidated but not wholly owned.
Operating Partnership
The aggregate book value of the non-controlling interests associated with the redeemable common limited partnership interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Company as of
June 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
was
$17.1 million
and
$17.5 million
, respectively. Under the applicable accounting guidance, the redemption value of limited partnership units are carried at, on a limited partner basis, the greater of historical cost adjusted for the allocation of income and distributions or fair value. The Parent Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these interests (based on the number of units outstanding and the closing price of the common shares on the balance sheet dates as of
June 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
, respectively, was approximately
$20.4 million
and
$24.5 million
.

Sales agents engaged by the Parent Company under the Offering Program are entitled to receive, as compensation and in aggregate, up to
2%
of the gross sales price per share sold under the Offering Program. From inception of the Offering Program through

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as total revenue less property operating expenses, real estate taxes and third party management expenses. Segment NOI includes revenue, real estate taxes and property operating expenses directly related to operation and management of the properties owned and managed within the respective geographical region. Segment NOI excludes property level depreciation and amortization, revenue and expenses directly associated with third party real estate management services, expenses associated with corporate administrative support services, and inter-company eliminations. NOI also does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs. Trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact the Company’s results from operations are also not reflected in NOI. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. NOI is the measure that is used by the Company to evaluate the operating performance of its real estate assets by segment. The Company also believes that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expenses recorded at the property level. The Company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The following is a reconciliation of consolidated NOI to consolidated net income (loss), as defined by GAAP:

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the nature of the Company’s business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Company will establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and when the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect that the liabilities, if any, may ultimately result from any current legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. The Company’s compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Company does not believe it will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, the Company cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current Properties or on properties that the Company may acquire.
Ground Rent
Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground leases under which the Company is the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due. The Company’s ground leases have remaining lease terms ranging from
6
to
74
years. Minimum future rental payments on non-cancelable leases at
June 30, 2015
are as follows (in thousands):

The Company obtained ground tenancy rights related to two properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which provide for contingent rent participation by the lessor in certain capital transactions and net operating cash flows of the properties after certain returns are achieved by the Company. Such amounts, if any, will be reflected as contingent rent when incurred. The leases also provide for payment by the Company of certain operating costs relating to the land, primarily real estate taxes. The above schedule of future minimum rental payments does not include any contingent rent amounts or any reimbursed expenses. Reference is made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014
for further detail regarding commitments and contingencies.
Put Option
On May 4, 2015, the Company entered into a put agreement in the ordinary course of business that grants an independent third party the unilateral option to require the Company to purchase a property, at a predetermined price, until May 4, 2018. In addition to the
$35.0 million
purchase price, the Company would be responsible for transaction and closing costs. There can be no assurance that the counterparty will exercise the option.
13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
2100 Market Street Acquisition
On
July 7, 2015
, the Company acquired a
0.8
acre parcel of land located at 2100 Market Street in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
for
$18.8 million
. The Company funded
$16.8 million
of the purchase price with available corporate funds and
$2.0 million
was deferred until the earlier of the commencement of development or
24 months
from settlement. The Company accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition and capitalized a nominal amount of acquisition related costs and other costs as part of land inventory on its consolidated balance sheet.
Share Repurchase Program
On July 22, 2015, the Company's Board of Trustees has authorized additional share repurchases of up to
$100.0 million
of its preferred and common stock with no expiration date. The Company expects to fund the share repurchases with a combination of available cash balances and availability under its line of credit.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other materials filed by us with the SEC (as well as information included in oral or other written statements made by us) contain statements that are forward-looking, including statements relating to business and real estate development activities, acquisitions, dispositions, future capital expenditures, financing sources, governmental regulation (including environmental regulation) and competition. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the 1995 Act. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. As forward-looking statements, these statements involve important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to:
•
the continuing impact of modest global economic growth, which is having and may have a negative effect on the following, among other things:
•
the fundamentals of our business, including overall market occupancy, demand for office space and rental rates;
•
the financial condition of our tenants, many of which are financial, legal and other professional firms, our lenders, counterparties to our derivative financial instruments and institutions that hold our cash balances and short-term investments, which may expose us to increased risks of default by these parties;
•
the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our future interest expense and our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt; and
•
a decline in real estate asset valuations, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis.
•
changes in local real estate conditions (including changes in rental rates and the number of properties that compete with our properties);
•
our failure to lease unoccupied space in accordance with our projections;
•
our failure to re-lease occupied space upon expiration of leases;
•
tenant defaults and the bankruptcy of major tenants;
•
increases in interest rates;
•
failure of interest rate hedging contracts to perform as expected and the effectiveness of such arrangements;
•
failure of acquisitions to perform as expected;
•
unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition, integration and operation of our acquisitions;
•
unanticipated costs to complete, lease-up and operate our developments and redevelopments;
•
unanticipated costs associated with land development, including building moratoriums and inability to obtain necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental approvals, construction cost increases or overruns and construction delays;
•
impairment charges;
•
increased costs for, or lack of availability of, adequate insurance, including for terrorist acts or environmental liabilities;
•
actual or threatened terrorist attacks;
•
the impact on workplace and tenant space demands driven by technology, employee culture and commuting patterns;
•
demand for tenant services beyond those traditionally provided by landlords;
•
liability and clean-up costs under environmental or other laws;
•
failure or bankruptcy of real estate venture partners;
•
inability of real estate venture partners to fund venture obligations or perform under our real estate venture development agreements;
•
failure to manage effectively our growth into new product types within our real estate venture arrangements;
•
failure of dispositions to close in a timely manner;
•
failure of buyers of our properties to comply with terms of their financing agreements to us;
•
earthquakes and other natural disasters;
•
the unforeseen impact of climate change and compliance costs relating to laws and regulations governing climate change;
•
risks associated with federal, state and local tax audits;
•
complex regulations relating to our status as a REIT and the adverse consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT; and
38
•
the impact of newly adopted accounting principles on our accounting policies and on period-to-period comparisons of financial results.
Given these uncertainties, and the other risks identified in the “
Risk Factors
” section of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.
The discussion that follows is based primarily on our consolidated financial statements as of
June 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
and for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
and should be read along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. The ability to compare one period to another may be significantly affected by acquisitions completed, development properties placed in service and dispositions made during those periods.
OVERVIEW
As of
June 30, 2015
, we owned
199
properties that contain an aggregate of approximately
25.2 million
net rentable square feet and consist of
167
office properties,
20
industrial facilities,
five
mixed-use properties,
one
retail property (
193
core properties),
four
development properties,
one
redevelopment property and
one
re-entitlement property (collectively, the "Properties"). In addition, as of
June 30, 2015
, we owned economic interests in
18
unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures that contain approximately
5.6 million
net rentable square feet (collectively, the "Real Estate Ventures"). In addition to managing properties that we own, as of
June 30, 2015
, we were managing approximately
7.8 million
net rentable square feet of office and industrial properties for third parties and Real Estate Ventures.
During the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
, we were managing our portfolio within seven segments: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia CBD, (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C., (4) New Jersey/Delaware, (5) Richmond, Virginia, (6) Austin, Texas and (7) California. The Pennsylvania Suburbs segment includes properties in Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Philadelphia CBD segment includes properties located in the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment includes properties in Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. and southern Maryland. The New Jersey/Delaware segment includes properties in Burlington and Camden counties in New Jersey and in New Castle county in the state of Delaware. The Richmond, Virginia segment includes properties primarily in Albemarle, Goochland, Chesterfield, and Henrico counties and
one
property in Durham, North Carolina. The Austin, Texas segment includes properties in the City of Austin, Texas. The California segment includes properties in Oakland, Concord and Carlsbad. Our corporate group is responsible for cash and investment management, development of certain real estate properties during the construction period, and certain other general support functions.
We generate cash and revenue from leases of space at our properties and, to a lesser extent, from the management of properties owned by third parties and from investments in the Real Estate Ventures. Factors that we evaluate when leasing space include rental rates, costs of tenant improvements, tenant creditworthiness, current and expected operating costs, the length of the lease term, vacancy levels and demand for office and industrial space. We also generate cash through sales of assets, including assets that we do not view as core to our portfolio, either because of location or expected growth potential, and assets that are commanding premium prices from third party investors.
Our financial and operating performance is dependent upon the demand for office, industrial and other commercial space in our markets, our leasing results, our acquisition, disposition and development activity, our financing activity, our cash requirements and economic and market conditions, including prevailing interest rates.
Adverse changes in economic conditions could reduce the availability of financing and potentially increase borrowing costs. Vacancy rates may increase, and rental rates may decline, through 2015 and possibly beyond as the economic climate contains demand for commercial space and negatively impact tenants.
Overall economic conditions, including but not limited to high unemployment and deteriorating financial and credit markets, could have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of our business, including increases in past due accounts, tenant defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. These conditions would negatively affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. We believe that the quality of our assets and our strong balance sheet will enable us to raise debt capital, if necessary, in various forms and from different sources, including traditional term or secured loans from banks, pension funds and life insurance companies. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds on terms that are economically attractive or at all.
We continue to seek revenue growth throughout our portfolio by increasing occupancy and rental rates. Occupancy at our core properties at
June 30, 2015
was
91.7%
compared to
91.4%
at
December 31, 2014

Calculated on a weighted average basis.
In seeking to increase revenue through our operating, financing and investment activities, we also seek to minimize operating risks, including (i) tenant rollover risk, (ii) tenant credit risk and (iii) development risk.
Tenant Rollover Risk:
We are subject to the risk that tenant leases, upon expiration, will not be renewed, that space may not be relet, or that the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of renovations) may be less favorable to us than the current lease terms. Leases that accounted for approximately
1.6%
of our aggregate final annualized base rents as of
June 30, 2015
(representing approximately
2.4%
of the net rentable square feet of the Properties) are scheduled to expire without penalty in
2015
. We maintain an active dialogue with our tenants in an effort to maximize lease renewals. In our core portfolio the retention rate for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
was
74.0%
compared to a retention rate of
71.4%
for the year ended December 31, 2014. Rental rates on leases expiring during 2015 did not deviate significantly from market renewal rates in the regions in which we operate. If we are unable to renew leases or relet space under expiring leases, at anticipated rental rates, or if tenants terminate their leases early, our cash flow would be adversely impacted.
Tenant Credit Risk:
In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. Our management regularly evaluates our accounts receivable reserve policy in light of our tenant base and general and local economic conditions. Our accounts receivable allowance was
$15.1 million
or
8.6%
of total receivables (including accrued rent receivables) as of
June 30, 2015
compared to
$15.3 million
or
9.1%
of total receivables (including accrued rent receivables) as of
December 31, 2014
.
If economic conditions persist or deteriorate further, we may experience increases in past due accounts, defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. This condition would negatively affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
40
Development Risk:
Development projects are subject to a variety of risks, including construction delays, construction cost overruns, inability to obtain financing on favorable terms, inability to lease space at projected rates, inability to enter into construction, development and other agreements on favorable terms, and unexpected environmental and other hazards.
As of

"Liquidity and Capital Resources - Commitments and Contingencies"
for contractual commitments relating to our ongoing development projects.
Land Holdings
As of
June 30, 2015
, we owned approximately
430
acres of undeveloped land, and held options to purchase approximately
63
additional acres of undeveloped land. As market conditions warrant, we will seek to opportunistically dispose of those parcels that we do not anticipate developing. For parcels of land that we ultimately develop, we will be subject to risks and costs associated with land development, including building moratoriums and the inability to obtain necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental approvals, construction cost increases or overruns and construction delays, and insufficient
41
occupancy rates and rental rates. As of
June 30, 2015
, the total potential development that these land parcels could support amounted to
7.2 million
square feet.
Impairments and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
We review our long-lived assets for impairment each quarter and when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impairment in value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. In such case, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. The cash flow analysis is based on reasonably possible alternative courses of action and the estimated likelihood of each scenario occurring. Since cash flows on properties considered to be “long-lived assets to be held and used” are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether an asset has been impaired, our established strategy of holding properties over the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If our holding strategy were to change or if market conditions were to otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, then an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material.
As a result of selling $147.5 million of real estate as of June 30, 2015, we have increased our current year business plan disposition target from $180.0 million to $300.0 million. We are exploring the disposition of several properties, individually or as a portfolio, during the remainder of 2015 in alignment with our business plan. As of June 30, 2015, we have not entered into agreements to sell additional properties nor can we provide assurance as to any/or which properties for which a sale might be realized. Accordingly, we have prepared undiscounted cash flow analyses for the relevant properties based upon several reasonably possible scenarios and the estimated likelihood of each scenario occurring. These estimated probability weighted undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying values for the properties, and, therefore, no impairment charge has been recorded at June 30, 2015. Significant estimates were made in the determination of the future undiscounted cash flows, including expected future rents and operating expenses, holding periods, cash proceeds at the end of the estimated holding period and the probability of the various reasonably possible scenarios. Changes made by management for certain properties, including those related to holding periods, may result in the recognition of impairment losses, and such amounts could be material to the our results of operations.
Our equity method investments, primarily our investment in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures, may be adversely affected by changes in the real estate markets in which they operate. We report our equity method investments on the balance sheet at cost. As required under accounting rules, we periodically evaluate and assess our equity method investments for other than temporary impairment. We generally use a combination of comparable market sales and cash flow models in valuing our equity method investments. However, such sales and quoted data and other market information can vary, even for the same properties. To the extent that conditions in the real estate markets deteriorate, it could result in a decline in the fair value of our equity method investments that are other-than-temporary and, we may realize losses that never materialize or we may fail to recognize losses in the appropriate period. Rapidly changing conditions in the real estate markets in which we operate increase the complexity of valuing our equity method investments and our judgments and methodologies materially impact the valuation of the investments as reported in our financial statements.
RECENT PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS
Acquisitions
On
June 22, 2015
, through a series of transactions with International Business Machines ("IBM"), we acquired the remaining
50.0%
interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, consisting of seven office buildings and the
66.0
acre underlying land parcel located in
Austin, Texas
, for an aggregate purchase price of
$211.4 million
. The office buildings contain
1,112,236
net rentable square feet of office space and were
100.0%
occupied as of June 30, 2015. We funded the cost of the acquisition with an aggregate cash payment of
$143.8 million
, consisting of
$81.0 million
from available corporate funds and
$62.8 million
previously held in escrow related to a Section 1031 like-kind exchange. Part of the cash payment was used at closing to repay, at no repayment penalty, the remaining
$51.2 million
of secured debt. We incurred
$0.2 million
of acquisition related costs that are classified within general and administrative expenses.
We previously accounted for its
50.0%
non-controlling interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates under the equity method of accounting. As a result of acquiring IBM's remaining
50.0%
common interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates, we obtained control of Broadmoor Austin Associates and our existing investment balance was remeasured based on fair value of the underlying properties acquired and the existing distribution provisions under the relevant partnership agreement. As a result, we recorded a
$0.8 million
gain on remeasurement.
42
On
April 9, 2015
, we acquired the leasehold interest in an approximately
0.4
acre land parcel at
405 Colorado Street
located in the central business district of
Austin, Texas
for
$2.6 million
. The property is currently being operated as a surface parking lot with the intent to develop the site into an office property.
On
April 6, 2015
, we acquired a
0.8
acre parcel of land, located at 25 M Street Southeast,
Washington, D.C.
for
$20.3 million
. We funded the cost of this acquisition with available corporate funds. We capitalized
$0.3 million
of acquisition related costs and these costs are included as part of land inventory on our consolidated balance sheet. On
May 12, 2015
, we contributed the land parcel into a newly formed real estate venture known as 25 M Street Holdings, LLC (“25 M Street”), a joint venture between us and Jaco 25M Investors, LLC (“Akridge”), an unaffiliated third party, with the intent to construct a
271,000
square foot Class A office property. We hold a
95.0%
ownership interest in 25 M Street and Akridge contributed
$1.0 million
in cash for its
5.0%
ownership interest in 25 M Street. The
$1.0 million
contribution from Akridge was distributed to us. The partners of the venture have not determined the timing and cost of construction for the project as of
June 30, 2015
.
On
April 2, 2015
, we acquired, from an unaffiliated third party, a property comprised of a parking garage with
330
parking spaces and mixed-use space totaling
14,404
rentable square feet located at
618 Market Street
in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
for an aggregate fair value of
$19.4 million
. The property is currently fully operational. The purchase price includes contingent consideration, recorded at fair value and payable to the seller upon commencement of development, totaling
$1.6 million
and cash of
$17.8 million
.
We have treated the acquisition of 618 Market Street as a business combination and allocated the purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets. We utilized a number of sources in making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the purchase price to tangible and intangibles assets acquired. We allocated
$19.2 million
to building, land and improvements and
$0.2 million
to intangible assets.

JBG - Venture
On
May 29, 2015
, we and an unaffiliated third party, JBG/DC Manager, LLC ("JBG"), formed 51 N 50 Patterson, Holdings, LLC Venture ("51 N Street") and 1250 First Street Office, LLC Venture ("1250 First Street"), as real estate ventures, with us owning a
70.0%
interest and JBG owning a
30.0%
interest in each of the two ventures. At formation, we and JBG made cash contributions of
$15.2 million
and
$6.5 million
, respectively, to 51 N Street, which was used to purchase
0.9
acres of undeveloped land. At formation, we and JBG made cash capital contributions of
$13.2 million
and
$5.7 million
, respectively, to 1250 First Street, which was used to purchase
0.5
acres of undeveloped land.
43
51 N Street expects to construct two mixed-use buildings, which will include approximately
278,000
square feet of loft office, residential, ground floor retail, movie theater and on-grade public plaza space in Washington, D.C. 51 N Street expects to develop the office buildings on parcels contributed by us and JBG to the venture at an agreed upon value of
$21.7 million
. As of
June 30, 2015
, the venture has not finalized development plans or received committed debt financing. The venture plans to fund the remaining amount, which has not yet been determined.
1250 First Street expects to construct an eleven-story, mixed-use building, which will include approximately
232,100
square feet of office,
15,300
square feet of retail and
145
below-grade parking spaces in Washington, D.C. 1250 First Street expects to develop the office building on a parcel contributed by us and JBG to the venture at an agreed upon value of
$18.9 million
. As of
June 30, 2015
, the venture has not finalized development plans or received committed debt financing. The venture plans to fund the remaining amount, which has not yet been determined.
DRA - PA Venture
On December 19, 2007, we formed G&I Interchange Office LLC, a real estate venture (the “Interchange Venture”), with an unaffiliated third party, G&I VI Investment Interchange Office LLC (“G&I VI”), an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC. The Interchange Venture owns
29
office properties containing an aggregate of
1,611,961
net rentable square feet located in Montgomery, Lehigh and Bucks counties, Pennsylvania. We contributed these
29
properties to the Interchange Venture upon the Venture's formation and in exchange for the contribution received a cash distribution from the Venture and a
20.0%
ownership interest in the Venture.
On February 27, 2015, the Venture entered into a forbearance agreement with an unaffiliated lender that holds a nonrecourse mortgage on the Venture's assets. The mortgage secures a nonrecourse loan with an outstanding balance of
$174.2 million
. The loan matured on January 1, 2015. The forbearance agreement extended the maturity date of the mortgage loan to July 31, 2015 and contains, at the lender’s option, a
60
-day extension option. The lender has the exclusive right to sell the properties to a third-party purchaser during the forbearance period. The lender will receive the net proceeds received from the sale of the properties. If the properties are not sold during the forbearance period, then the lender will foreclose on the assets.
We have no obligation to fund any amounts to the lender under the loan or mortgage. We have not had any investment basis in the Venture since formation of the Venture in 2007. We are not obligated to fund any of the losses incurred by the Venture and, as a result, have not recognized losses in excess of our invested capital balance.
Austin Venture
On January 30, 2015, the Austin Venture closed on a mortgage loan with a non-affiliated institutional lender, and used the proceeds of the loan to repay in full an
$88.0 million
short-term secured loan made by us to fund costs of the Austin Venture's acquisition of River Place. For further information regarding this acquisition, see Note 4, "
Investment In Unconsolidated Ventures
," included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
We continually assess our portfolio in light of our strategic and economic considerations to determine whether to sell properties in the portfolio. Sales of properties, and determinations to hold properties for sale, may result in an impairment or other loss, and such loss could be material to our statement of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Certain accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as they require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and changes in accounting estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and current economic conditions. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue, impairment of long-lived assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2014
contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since
December 31, 2014
. See also Note 2, "
Basis of Presentation
," in our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015
set
44
forth herein. Management discusses our critical accounting policies and management’s judgments and estimates with our Audit Committee.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
. We believe that presentation of our consolidated financial information, without a breakdown by segment, will effectively present important information useful to our investors.
Net operating income (“NOI”) as presented in the comparative analysis below is defined as revenue less property operating expenses, real estate taxes and third party management expenses. Property operating expenses that are included in determining NOI consist of costs that are necessary and allocable to our operating properties such as utilities, property-level salaries, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, management fees and bad debt expense. General and administrative expenses that are not reflected in NOI primarily consist of corporate-level salaries, amortization of share awards and professional fees that are incurred as part of corporate office management. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use internally to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate assets by segment, as presented in Note 11, "
Segment Information
," to the consolidated financial statements, and of our business as a whole. We believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. While NOI is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. NOI does not reflect interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs. We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. See Note 11, "
Segment Information
," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of NOI to our consolidated net income (loss).
Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended
June 30, 2015
and
June 30, 2014
The table below shows selected operating information for the “Same Store Property Portfolio” and the “Total Portfolio.” The Same Store Property Portfolio consists of
184
properties containing an aggregate of approximately
22.3 million
net rentable square feet, and represents properties that we owned for the entire
three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
. The Same Store Property Portfolio includes properties acquired or placed in service on or prior to
January 1, 2014
and owned through
June 30, 2015
. The Total Portfolio includes the effects of other properties that were either placed into service, acquired or redeveloped after
January 1, 2014
or disposed prior to
June 30, 2015
. A property is excluded from our Same Store Property Portfolio and moved into the redevelopment column in the period that we determine that a redevelopment would be the best use of the asset, and when said asset is taken out of service or is undergoing re-entitlement for a future development strategy. This table also includes a reconciliation from the Same Store Property Portfolio to the Total Portfolio net income (i.e., all properties owned by us during the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
) by providing information for the properties which were acquired, placed into service, under development or redevelopment and administrative/elimination information for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
(in thousands).
The Total Portfolio net income presented in the table is equal to the net income of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
(a)
Results include: nine properties completed/acquired and placed in service.
(b)
Results include:
four
developments,
one
redevelopment and
one
re-entitlement property.
46
(c)
Represents certain revenues and expenses at the corporate level as well as various intercompany costs that are eliminated in consolidation and third-party management fees. It also includes properties sold that do not qualify as discontinued operations.
(d)
Pertains to properties that are part of our core portfolio (i.e. not under development, redevelopment, or re-entitlement).
Total Revenue
Cash rents from the Total Portfolio
decreased
by
$3.6 million
during the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
, primarily attributable to a:
•
$5.8 million decrease due to the sale of 16 properties subsequent to the second quarter of 2014;
•
$1.6 million increase in the Same Store Property Portfolio due to a 2.1% increase in occupancy for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
;
•
$0.4 million increase from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
; and
•
$0.2 million increase from Development/Redevelopment Properties for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
.
Straight-line rents
increased
by
$1.6 million
on a consolidated basis due to increased leasing activity and the timing of revenue recognition under the straight-line method of accounting.
Tenant reimbursements from the Total Portfolio
decreased
by
$0.7 million
, of which $1.3 million of the decrease is due to the sale of 16 properties subsequent to the second quarter of 2014. This decrease was offset by an increase of $0.4 million at the Same Store Portfolio, which trended along with the increase in operating expenses over the same period. Expense recoveries at the Same Store Portfolio remained consistent with a reimbursement percentage of 35.8% during the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to 35.7% in the
second
quarter of
2014
. The remaining $0.2 million increase resulted from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties.
Termination fees at our Total Portfolio
decreased
by
$2.5 million
due to timing and volume of tenant early terminations during the
second
quarter of
2015
when compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
.
Third party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing increased $0.5 million during the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
which is primarily attributable to an increase in leasing commissions received from unconsolidated joint ventures.
Real Estate Taxes
Real estate taxes across our Total Portfolio
decreased
by $0.9 million for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
, primarily attributable to a $0.7 million decrease from the 16 properties sold subsequent to the second quarter of 2014 and $0.3 million decrease from property tax assessments. These decreases were offset by $0.1 million of increases from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses across our Total Portfolio increased $0.8 million for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
, primarily attributable to; (i) $0.2 million increase in share-based compensation costs (ii) $0.3 million increase in acquisition deal costs and (iii) $0.3 increase in charitable contributions.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense across our Total Portfolio
decreased
by
$1.7 million
for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
, primarily attributable to a $2.7 million decrease from the 16 properties sold subsequent to the second quarter of 2014 and $0.6 million decrease to Development/Redevelopment Properties related to accelerated depreciation of the re-entitlement property in the second quarter of 2014. These decreases were offset by (i) $0.8 million increase to the Same Store Property Portfolio in additional depreciation expense from increased tenant improvements and accelerations related to early lease terminations and (ii) $0.8 million increase from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties.
47
Interest Expense
The
decrease
in interest expense of
$3.6 million
for the
second
quarter of
2015
from the
second
quarter of
2014
is primarily due to the following decreases:
•
$1.4 million related to an increase in capitalized interest which is directly attributable to increased development activity compared to the second quarter of 2014;
•
$0.7 million due to the repayment of our
$150.0 million
three-year term loan due February 2015 during the third quarter of 2014;
•
$0.5 million due to the repayment of our
$100.0 million
four-year term loan due February 2016 during the third quarter of 2014;
•
$0.3 million due to the termination of interest rate swap contracts associated with our
$100.0 million
four-year term loan due February 2016;
•
$3.0 million due to repurchases of $75.1 million and $143.5 million, in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, of our 5.400% Guaranteed Notes due 2014;
•
$3.1 million due to repurchases of $42.7 million and $114.9 million, in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, of our 7.500% Guaranteed Notes due 2015; and
•
$0.2 million related to mortgage interest expense.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $5.6 million related to the September 2014 issuance of $250.0 million in principal amount of
4.10%
Guaranteed Notes due 2024 and $250.0 million in principal amount of
4.55%
Guaranteed Notes due 2029.
Net Gain on Disposition of Real Estate
The $1.6 million net gain on disposition of real estate resulted from the sale of five office properties during the second quarter of
2015
at Delaware Corporate Center I & II and Christiana Corporate Center, located in Wilmington, Delaware and Newark, Delaware, respectively. There were no operating property dispositions during the
second
quarter of
2014
.
Gain from Remeasurement of Investment in a Real Estate Venture
The gain on remeasurement of investment in a real estate venture increased $0.3 million. The $0.8 million gain recognized during the second quarter of
2015
resulted from the acquisition of the remaining interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates. The $0.5 million gain recognized during the
second
quarter of
2014
resulted from the final settlement of the increase in ownership interest of the One and Two Commerce partnerships.
Provision for Impairment on Assets Held for Sale/Sold
During the second quarter of 2015, in connection with us determining to dispose of the 100 Gateway Centre Parkway office property, and as the carrying value of the property exceeded the fair value less the costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $0.8 million, which approximates the loss on sale, during the second quarter of 2015.
Discontinued Operations
During the second quarter of 2014, there were no property sales classified as discontinued operations. The gain of $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2014 relates to a contingent gain on sale recognized related to a portfolio of eight office properties located in Lawrenceville, New Jersey during the first quarter of 2013. There were no properties classified as discontinued operations during the second quarter of 2015.
Net Income
Net income
increased
by
$0.9 million
during the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
as a result of the factors described above. Net income is significantly impacted by depreciation of operating properties and amortization of acquired intangibles. These non-cash charges do not directly affect our ability to pay dividends. Amortization of acquired intangibles will continue over the related lease terms or estimated duration of the tenant relationships.
48
Comparison of the Six-Month Periods Ended
June 30, 2015
and
June 30, 2014
The table below shows selected operating information for the “Same Store Property Portfolio” and the “Total Portfolio.” The Same Store Property Portfolio consists of
184
properties containing an aggregate of approximately
22.3 million
net rentable square feet, and represents properties that we owned for the entire
six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
. The Same Store Property Portfolio includes properties acquired or placed in service on or prior to
January 1, 2014
and owned through
June 30, 2015
. The Total Portfolio includes the effects of other properties that were either placed into service, acquired or redeveloped after
January 1, 2014
or disposed prior to
June 30, 2015
. A property is excluded from our Same Store Property Portfolio and moved into the redevelopment column in the period that we determine that a redevelopment would be the best use of the asset, and when said asset is taken out of service or is undergoing re-entitlement for a future development strategy. This table also includes a reconciliation from the Same Store Property Portfolio to the Total Portfolio net income (i.e., all properties owned by us during the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
) by providing information for the properties which were acquired, placed into service, under development or redevelopment and administrative/elimination information for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
(in thousands).
The Total Portfolio net income presented in the table is equal to the net income of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership.

Total Revenue
Cash rents from the Total Portfolio
decreased
by
$7.0 million
during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
, primarily attributable to a:
•
$10.2 million decrease due to the sale of 16 properties subsequent to the second quarter of 2014;
•
$2.1 million increase in the Same Store Property Portfolio due to a 2.1% increase in occupancy for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
;
•
$0.9 million increase from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
; and
•
$0.2 million increase from Development/Redevelopment Properties for the
second
quarter of
2015
compared to the
second
quarter of
2014
.
Straight-line rents
increased
by
$4.3 million
on a consolidated basis due to increased leasing activity and the timing of revenue recognition under the straight-line method of accounting.
Tenant reimbursements from the Total Portfolio
decreased
by
$1.5 million
, of which $2.9 million of the decrease is due to the sale of 16 properties subsequent to the second quarter of 2014. This decrease was offset by an increase of $1.1 million at the Same Store Portfolio, which trended along with the increase in operating expenses over the same period. Expense recoveries at the Same Store Portfolio remained consistent with a reimbursement percentage of 37.2% during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to 36.8% in the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
. The remaining $0.3 million increase resulted from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties.
Termination fees at our Total Portfolio decreased by
$4.1 million
due to timing and volume of tenant early terminations during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
.
Other income increased $2.6 million during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
, which is primarily attributable to; (i) $1.1 million of recognized real estate tax assessment adjustments, (ii) $0.6 million in liquidating distributions from an unconsolidated partnership was accounted for using the cost method for investments, (iii) $0.3 from the receipt of escheat funds and (iv) $0.6 million related to other income across our portfolio.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses across our Total Portfolio decreased $0.7 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
, primarily attributable to a $4.1 million decrease from the 16 properties sold subsequent to the second quarter of 2014 and a $0.2 decrease in bad debt expense. These decreases were offset by increases to the following: (i) $1.9 million increase in repairs and maintenance expense due to the timing of tenant needs, (ii) $0.8 million increase in payroll related costs, (iii) $0.6 million increase in office expenses and (iv) $0.3 million increase in utilities.
Real Estate Taxes
Real estate taxes across our Total Portfolio
decreased
by
$1.8 million
for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
, primarily attributable to a $1.3 million decrease from the 16 properties sold subsequent to the second quarter of 2014 and $0.6 million decrease from property tax assessments. These decreases were offset by $0.1 million from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses across our Total Portfolio increased $1.2 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
, primarily attributable to; (i) $0.6 million increase in share-based compensation costs (ii) $0.3 million increase in acquisition deal costs and (iii) $0.3 increase in charitable contributions.
51
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense across our Total Portfolio
decreased
by
$3.1 million
for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
, primarily attributable to a $4.7 million decrease from the 16 properties sold subsequent to the second quarter of 2014 and $0.7 million decrease to Development/Redevelopment Properties related to accelerated depreciation of the re-entitlement property in the second quarter of 2014. These decreases were offset by (i) $1.4 million increase to the Same Store Property Portfolio in additional depreciation expense from increased tenant improvements and accelerations related to early lease terminations and (ii) $0.9 million increase from Recently Completed/Acquired Properties.
Interest Expense
The decrease in interest expense of
$7.3 million
for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
is primarily due to the following decreases;
•
$2.9 million related to an increase in capitalized interest which is directly attributable to increased development activity compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2014;
•
$1.5 million due to the repayment of our
$150.0 million
three-year term loan due February 2015 during the third quarter of 2014;
•
$1.0 million due to the repayment of our
$100.0 million
four-year term loan due February 2016 during the third quarter of 2014;
•
$0.5 million due to the termination of interest rate swap contracts associated with our
$100.0 million
four-year term loan due February 2016;
•
$6.0 million due to repurchases of $75.1 million and $143.5 million, in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, of our 5.400% Guaranteed Notes due 2014;
•
$6.1 million due to repurchases of $42.7 million and $114.9 million, in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, of our 7.500% Guaranteed Notes due 2015; and
•
$0.5 million related to mortgage interest expense.
These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $11.2 million related to the September 2014 issuance of $250.0 million in principal amount of
4.10%
Guaranteed Notes due 2024 and $250.0 million in principal amount of
4.55%
Guaranteed Notes due 2029.
Interest Income
Interest income increased $0.3 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
from the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
primarily due to the $88.0 million short term loan to the Austin Venture that was outstanding for part of the first quarter of 2015. This short term loan was not outstanding during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
. See Note 4,
"Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures."
Equity in Income of Real Estate Ventures
The decrease in equity in income of Real Estate Ventures of $0.5 million during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
is primarily attributable to net operating losses for evo at Cira Centre South and the Parc at Plymouth Meeting, which were placed into service subsequent to the second quarter of 2014.
Net Gain on Disposition of Real Estate
The $10.6 million net gain on disposition of real estate venture resulted from the sale of nine office properties during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
(See Item 2.,
"Recent Property Transactions"
), with no such dispositions during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
.
Gain on Sale of Undepreciated Real Estate
The gain on sale of undepreciated real estate of $1.2 million during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
resulted from the sale of two undeveloped land parcels, with no such dispositions during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
.
Gain from Remeasurement of Investment in a Real Estate Venture
The gain on remeasurement of investment in a real estate venture increased $0.3 million. The $0.8 million gain recognized during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
resulted from the acquisition of the remaining interest in Broadmoor Austin Associates.
52
The $0.5 million gain recognized during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
resulted from the final settlement of the increase in ownership interest of the One and Two Commerce partnerships.
Provision for Impairment on Assets Held for Sale/Sold
During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we determined to dispose of the Lake Merritt office property, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value of the property exceeded the fair value less the costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $1.7 million, which approximates the cost of sale. See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," for further information related to the impairment. During the second quarter of 2015, in connection with us determining to dispose of the 100 Gateway Centre Parkway office property, and as the carrying value exceeded the fair value less the costs of sale, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $0.8 million, which approximates the loss on sale, during the second quarter of 2015.
Discontinued Operations
During the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
there were no property sales classified as discontinued operations. The gain of $0.9 million during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
relates to the settlement of the sale of a portfolio of eight office properties located in Lawrenceville, New Jersey during the first quarter of 2013. There were no properties classified as discontinued operations during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
.
Net Income (loss)
Net income increased by $11.7 million during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014
as a result of the factors described above. Net income is significantly impacted by depreciation of operating properties and amortization of acquired intangibles. These non-cash charges do not directly affect our ability to pay dividends. Amortization of acquired intangibles will continue over the related lease terms or estimated duration of the tenant relationships.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months are as follows:
•
fund normal recurring expenses,
•
fund capital expenditures, including capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs,
•
fund repayment of certain debt instruments when they mature,
•
fund current development and redevelopment costs,
•
fund commitments to unconsolidated real estate ventures,
•
fund distributions to shareholders to maintain REIT status, and
•
fund share repurchases.
As of
June 30, 2015
, the Parent Company owned a
99.1%
interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest of approximately
0.9%
pertains to common limited partnership interests owned by non-affiliated investors who contributed property to the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete responsibility for the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day operations and management. The Parent Company’s source of funding for its dividend payments and other obligations is the distributions it receives from the Operating Partnership.
We believe that our liquidity needs will be satisfied through available cash balances and cash flows generated by operations, financing activities and selective property sales. Rental revenue, expense recoveries from tenants, and other income from operations are our principal sources of cash to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures and the minimum distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining quality standards for our properties that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. Our revenue also includes third-party fees generated by our property management, leasing, development and construction businesses. We believe that our revenue, together with proceeds from property sales and debt financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term liquidity needs. However, material changes in our operating or financing activities may adversely affect our net cash flows. With uncertain economic conditions, vacancy rates may increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may increase
53
in most or all of our markets throughout 2015 and possibly beyond. As a result, our revenues and cash flows could be insufficient to cover operating expenses, including increased tenant installation costs, pay debt service or make distributions to shareholders over the short-term. If this situation were to occur, we expect that we would finance cash deficits through borrowings under our unsecured credit facility and other sources of debt and equity financings. In addition, a material adverse change in cash provided by operations could adversely affect our compliance with financial performance covenants under our unsecured credit facility, including our unsecured term loans, and under our unsecured notes. As of
June 30, 2015
, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants and requirement obligations.
We use multiple sources to finance our long-term capital needs. When needed, we use borrowings under our unsecured credit facility for general business purposes, including to meet debt maturities and to fund distributions to shareholders as well as development and acquisition costs and other expenses from time to time as necessary. In light of the continuing volatility in financial markets and economic uncertainties, it is possible, that one or more lenders under our unsecured revolving credit facility could fail to fund a borrowing request. Such an event could adversely affect our ability to access funds from our unsecured credit facility when needed to fund distributions or pay expenses.
Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors, including our credit ratings, the value of our unencumbered assets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions imposed by our lenders. If one or more rating agencies were to downgrade our unsecured credit rating, our access to the unsecured debt market would be more limited and the interest rate under our unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans would increase.
The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the Operating Partnership’s secured and unsecured obligations, which, as of
June 30, 2015
, amounted to
$648.7 million
and
$1,803.5 million
, respectively.
We maintain a shelf registration statement that has registered the offering and sale of common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares, warrants and unsecured debt securities. Subject to our ongoing compliance with securities laws, and if warranted by market conditions, we may offer and sell equity and debt securities from time to time under the shelf registration statement. We also maintain a continuous offering program under which we may sell up to 16,000,000 common shares until November 5, 2016 in at-the-market offerings.
The Parent Company, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, also issues equity from time to time, the proceeds of which it contributes to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional interests in the Operating Partnership, and guarantees debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company’s ability to sell common shares and preferred shares is dependent on, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about the Company as a whole and the current trading price of the Parent Company's shares.
On July 22, 2015, the our Board of Trustees has authorized additional share repurchases of up to
$100.0 million
of our preferred and common stock with no expiration date. We expect to fund the share repurchases with a combination of available cash balances and availability under our line of credit.
We also consider sales of selected properties as another source of managing our liquidity. We use proceeds from asset sales, as appropriate, to repay existing indebtedness, provide capital for our development activities and to strengthen our financial condition. See Item 2. "
Recent Property Transactions"
for disclosure of current year dispositions.
Cash Flows
The following discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statement of cash flows and is not meant to be a comprehensive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented.
As of
June 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of
$124.0 million
and
$257.5 million
, respectively. The following are the changes in cash flow from our activities for the
six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
(in thousands):

Our principal source of cash flows is from the operation of our properties. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flows that provides us with the resources to fund operating expenses, debt service and quarterly dividends. We do not restate our cash flows for discontinued operations.
The net
decrease
of
$1.6 million
in cash from operating activities for the
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2014
is primarily attributable to the timing of cash receipts and cash expenditures in the normal course of operations.
The net
increase
of
$94.0 million
in cash used in investing activities during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2014
is primarily attributable to the following:
•
an
increase
of
$170.8 million
in funds used for acquisitions, driven by the purchases of the remaining 50% common interest in the Broadmoor Austin Associates real estate venture, 405 Colorado Drive, 25 M Street and 618 Market Street (See Item 2., "
Recent Property Transactions"
for disclosure of current year acquisitions) during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the purchase of a development project in Austin, Texas known as Encino Trace during the
six months ended June 30, 2014
;
•
an
increase
of
$60.1 million
in capital expenditures for tenant improvements, developments/redevelopments and leasing commissions during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2014
primarily attributed to the development of the FMC Tower at Cira Centre South and Encino Trace (For further information on development projects see Item 1.,
"Developments,"
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and Item 2.,
"Development Risk,"
included in this Form 10-Q);
•
an
increase
of
$46.0 million
of investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures primarily due to contributions for the
six months ended June 30, 2015
of $28.4 million to form the JBG real estate ventures (See Item 2. "
Recent Property Transactions"
for further disclosure), $7.9 million in contributions to the 4040 Wilson real estate venture, $6.8 million to Brandywine 1919 Ventures, $3.4 million to the DRA Austin real estate venture, $2.6 million in contributions to other real estate ventures compared to the $3.1 million in contributions to real estate ventures during the
six months ended June 30, 2014
;
•
an
increase
of
$2.9 million
in deposits for real estate during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
, when compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2014
; and
•
an
increase
in advances made for purchase of tenant assets, net of repayments, of
$3.0 million
during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2014
.
The decrease in cash used in investing activities was offset by the following transactions:
•
an
increase
of
$102.9 million
of net proceeds from the sale of nine properties during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the sale of two land parcels and the contribution of an office building to an unconsolidated real estate venture during the
six months ended June 30, 2014
(See Item 2.,
"Recent Property Transactions"
);
•
an
increase
of
$85.2 million
in payments on the mortgage note receivable during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2014
, primarily due to the repayment of the short term loan to the Austin Venture (See Note 4,
"Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures,"
to our consolidated financial statements);
•
an
increase
of
$0.4 million
in escrow cash due to timing of payments; and
•
an
increase
of
$0.4 million
in cash distributions in excess of cumulative equity in income from Real Estate Ventures during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2014
.
The net
increase
of
$9.5 million
in cash used in financing activities during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2014
is primarily attributable to the following:
•
an
increase
of
$0.4 million
in repayments of mortgage notes payable during
six months ended June 30, 2015
compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2014
;
•
an
increase
of
$2.9 million
in debt financing costs, primarily due to the new revolving credit facility (See Item 2.
"Capitalization"
);
•
a
decrease
of
$0.6 million
in proceeds from the exercise of stock options;
•
an
increase
in distributions paid to shareholders and on non-controlling interests to
$57.9 million
during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
from
$51.3 million
during the
six months ended June 30, 2014
resulting from the Parent Company issuance of 21,850,000 common shares during the third quarter of 2014.
The net
increase
in cash used in financing activities described above was partially offset by an increase of $1.0 million from a partner contribution to a consolidated joint venture during the
six months ended June 30, 2015
with no such contributions during the
six months ended June 30, 2014
.

A mortgage loan encumbering two of our office properties with a principal balance of $88.5 million matures on August 1, 2015. We intend on entering into a 60-day extension with the lender. Following the extension period we plan to repay the mortgage balance in full using our available cash balance.
The indenture under which the Operating Partnership issued its unsecured notes contains financial covenants, including (i) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (ii) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40%, (iii) a debt service coverage ratio of greater
56
than 1.5 to 1.0 and (iv) an unencumbered asset value of not less than 150% of unsecured debt. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with all covenants as of
June 30, 2015
.
The Operating Partnership has mortgage loans that are collateralized by certain of its properties. Payments on mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only. The Operating Partnership intends to refinance or repay its mortgage loans as they mature through the use of proceeds from selective property sales and secured or unsecured borrowings. However, in the current and expected future economic environment one or more of these sources may not be available on attractive terms or at all.
On
May 15, 2015
, we closed on a new four-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") that provides for borrowings of up to
$600.0 million
. We expect to use advances under the New Credit Facility for general business purposes, including to fund costs of acquisitions, developments and redevelopments of properties and to repay from time to time other debt. On terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement, we may enter into unsecured term loans and/or increase the initial amount of the credit facility by up to, in the aggregate for all such term loans and increases, an additional
$400.0 million
. The New Credit Facility includes a
$65.0 million
sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit and a
$60.0 million
sub-limit for swing-loans. The New Credit Facility has a scheduled maturity date of May 15, 2019, and is subject to two six-month extensions on terms and conditions specified in the credit agreement.
At our option, loans outstanding under the New Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (1)
LIBOR plus between 0.875% and 1.55%
based on our credit rating or (2) a base rate equal to the greatest of (a) the Administrative Agent's prime rate, (b) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.5% or (c) LIBOR for a one month period plus 1.00%, in each case, plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.55% based on our credit rating. The New Credit Facility also contains a competitive bid option that allows banks that are part of the lender consortium to bid to make loan advances to us at a reduced interest rate. In addition, we are also obligated to pay (1) in quarterly installments a facility fee on the total commitment at a rate per annum ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% based on our credit rating and (2) an annual fee on the undrawn amount of each letter or credit equal to the LIBOR Margin. Based on our current credit rating, the LIBOR margin is
1.20%
and the facility fee is 0.25%. We had no borrowings under the New Credit Facility as of
June 30, 2015
.
The terms of the New Credit Facility require that we maintain customary financial and other covenants, including: (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio greater than or equal to 1.5 to 1.00; (ii) a minimum net worth; (iii) a leverage ratio less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (iv) a ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value less than or equal to 0.60 to 1.00, subject to specified exceptions; (v) ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value less than or equal to 0.40 to 1.00; and (vi) a ratio of unencumbered cash flow to interest expense on unsecured debt greater than 1.75 to 1.00. In addition, the New Credit Facility restricts payments of dividends and distributions on shares in excess of 95% of our funds from operations (FFO) except to the extent necessary to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. At June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants in the New Credit Facility.
Concurrently with our entry into the New Credit Facility, we terminated our then existing unsecured revolving credit facility, which had a scheduled maturity date of February 1, 2016.
A copy of the New Credit Facility is an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 21, 2015. A copy of the prior credit facility is an exhibit to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
On June 1, 2015, we amended our Term Loan C Agreement dated December 15, 2011 to align the above aforementioned financial and operating covenants and restrictions of the New Credit Facility with that of Term Loan C. The amendment is filed as part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. See Item 6.,"Exhibits."
The charter documents of the Parent Company and Operating Partnership do not limit the amount or form of indebtedness that the Operating Partnership may incur, and its policies on debt incurrence are solely within the discretion of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees, subject to the financial covenants in the Credit Facility, indenture and other credit agreements.
57
Equity
On
May 28, 2015
, the Parent Company declared a distribution of
$0.15
per common share, totaling
$27.3 million
, which it paid on
July 20, 2015
to its shareholders of record as of
July 6, 2015
. In addition, the Parent Company declared a distribution on its Series E Preferred Shares to holders of record as of
June 30, 2015
. These shares are entitled to a preferential return of
6.90%
per annum on the
$25.00
per share liquidation preference. Distributions paid on
July 15, 2015
to holders of Series E Preferred Shares totaled
$1.7 million
. To fund this distribution, on
May 28, 2015
, the Operating Partnership declared distributions on its Series E-Linked Preferred Mirror Units to holders of record as of
June 30, 2015
. These units are entitled to a preferential return of
6.90%
per annum on the
$25.00
per unit liquidation preference. Distributions paid on
July 15, 2015
to holders of Series E-Linked Preferred Mirror Units totaled
$1.7 million
. In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Parent Company is required to, among other things, pay dividends to its shareholders of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income.
The Parent Company also maintains a continuous offering program (the "Offering Program"), under which we may sell up to an aggregate amount of
16,000,000
common shares until November 5, 2016 in at the market offerings. This program was put in place on November 5, 2013. During the
six months ended June 30, 2015
, we did not sell any shares under the Offering Program and
16,000,000
remained available.
The Parent Company maintains a share repurchase program under which its Board of Trustees has authorized the Parent Company to repurchase common shares from time to time in accordance with the limits set by the Board of Trustees. As of
June 30, 2015
, there were
539,200
shares available for repurchase under this program. The Parent Company did not repurchase any shares during the three-month period ended
June 30, 2015
. The Parent Company’s Board of Trustees has not limited the duration of the program and the program may be terminated at any time.
Inflation
A majority of our leases provide for tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes and operating expenses either on a triple net basis or over a base amount. In addition, many of our office leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be partially offset by expense reimbursement and contractual rent increases.

.
See Note 4, "
Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures
," to the consolidated financial statements for further details on payment guarantees provided on the behalf of real estate ventures.
As of
June 30, 2015
, we were obligated to pay a maximum of $80.5 million for tenant improvements not yet completed, which is not included in the above table. We expect that most of the obligations will be paid within one year.
On May 4, 2015, we entered into a put agreement in the ordinary course of business that grants an independent third party the unilateral option to require us to purchase a property, at a predetermined price, until May 4, 2018. In addition to the
$35.0 million
purchase price, the Company would be responsible for transaction and closing costs. There can be no assurance that the counterparty will exercise the option.
Funds from Operations (FFO)
Pursuant to the revised definition of FFO adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), we calculate FFO by adjusting net income/(loss) attributable to common unit holders (computed in accordance with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, impairment losses on depreciable consolidated real estate, impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures, real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believe that the use of FFO combined with the required U.S. GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REITs’ operating results more meaningful. We consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.

We consider net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, to be the most comparable earnings measure to FFO. While FFO and FFO per unit are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, FFO does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with its reported net income/(loss) attributable to common unit holders and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income attributable to common unit holders to FFO for the
three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing the Company’s business plan, the primary market risk to which it is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Company’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, the Company’s ability to make distributions or payments to its shareholders. While the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or continued economic slowdown, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Company which would adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.
Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis
The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market rates. The range of changes chosen reflects the Company's view of changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period. Market values are the present value of projected future cash flows based on the market rates chosen.
Our financial instruments consist of both fixed and variable rate debt. As of
June 30, 2015
, our consolidated debt consisted of
$648.7 million
of mortgage loans and
$1,524.9 million
of unsecured notes, all of which are fixed rate borrowings. As of
June 30, 2015
, we also have variable rate debt consisting of
$78.6 million
in trust preferred securities and
$200.0 million
of unsecured term loans all of which have been swapped to fixed. All financial instruments were entered into for other than trading purposes and
60
the net market value of these financial instruments is referred to as the net financial position. Changes in interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable rate portions of our debt portfolio. A change in interest rates on the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impacts the net financial instrument position, but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in interest rates on the variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not impact the net financial instrument position.
If market rates of interest increase by 100 basis points, the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt would decrease by approximately
$24.6 million
. If market rates of interest decrease by 100 basis points, the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt would increase by approximately
$26.8 million
.
As of
June 30, 2015
, based on prevailing interest rates and credit spreads, the fair value, net of
$6.2 million
of discounts, of our
$1,518.7 million
of unsecured notes was
$1,564.3 million
. For sensitivity purposes, a 100 basis point change in the discount rate equates to a change in the total fair value of our debt of approximately
$15.2 million
at
June 30, 2015
.
From time to time or as the need arises, we use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The total carrying value of our variable rate debt (including variable swapped to fixed) was approximately
$278.6 million
at
June 30, 2015
. The total fair value of our debt was approximately
$257.4 million
at
June 30, 2015
. For sensitivity purposes, if market rates of interest increase by 100 basis points the fair value of our variable rate debt would decrease by approximately
$15.1 million
at
June 30, 2015
. If market rates of interest decrease by 100 basis points the fair value of our outstanding variable rate debt would increase by approximately
$17.1 million
.
These amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions we may undertake to minimize possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.
