2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
6
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of the accounting principles described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new standard that provides a single, comprehensive model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The new standard requires additional disclosures about the Company's revenue recognition and could change the way the Company recognizes revenue from construction and development contracts with third party customers. Management is currently reviewing the Company's existing construction contracts to assess the potential impacts of the new standard. A substantial portion of the Company's revenue consists of rental revenues from leasing arrangements, such as base rent, which is specifically excluded from the revenue guidance. Non-lease components, such as tenant reimbursements for common area maintenance, will be subject to the revenue guidance. The Company does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on the measure and recognition of gains and losses on the sale of properties. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company plans to adopt the new standard using the full retrospective method.
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued a new lease standard that requires lessees to recognize most leases in their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets. The new standard also makes targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, with an option to use certain transition relief. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that changed the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. Entities are required to recognize the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, and the Company is allowed to account for forfeitures as they occur. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. This guidance should be applied retrospectively to each period presented. This new guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On February 22, 2017, the FASB issued new guidance that clarifies the scope and application of guidance on sales or transfers of nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets to customers, including partial sales. The new guidance applies to all nonfinancial assets, including real estate, and defines an in substance nonfinancial asset. The new guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued new guidance that simplifies some of the requirements relating to accounting for derivatives and hedging. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness for a highly effective hedge and also simplifies certain documentation and assessment requirements relating
7
to the determination of hedge effectiveness. The new guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not currently have any derivatives designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. The application of this guidance to future hedging relationships could reduce or eliminate the gains and losses that would otherwise be recorded for these derivative instruments.
3. Segments
Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. Net operating income is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, net operating income should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate net operating income in the same manner. The Company considers net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate and construction businesses.
Net operating income of the Company’s reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was as follows (in thousands):

5. Equity Method Investment
City Center
On February 25, 2016, the Company acquired a 37% interest in Durham City Center II, LLC (“City Center”) for purposes of developing a 22-story mixed use tower in Durham, North Carolina. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has invested $11.2 million and $10.3 million, respectively, in City Center. The Company has agreed to guarantee 37% of the construction loan for City Center; however, the loan is collateralized by 100% of the assets of City Center. As of September 30, 2017, $18.7 million has been drawn against the construction loan, of which $7.8 million is attributable to the Company's portion of the loan.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the difference between the carrying value of the Company’s initial investment in City Center and the amount of underlying equity was immaterial. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, City Center did not have any operating activity, and therefore the Company did not receive any dividends or allocated income.
Based on the terms of City Center’s operating agreement, the Company has concluded that City Center is a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and that the Company holds a variable interest. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. Accordingly, the Company is not the project’s primary beneficiary and, therefore, does not consolidate City Center in its consolidated financial statements.
6. Notes Receivable
Point Street Apartments
On October 15, 2015, the Company agreed to invest up to $28.2 million in the Point Street Apartments project in the Harbor Point area of Baltimore, Maryland. Point Street Apartments is an estimated $92 million development project with plans for a 17-story building comprised of 289 residential units and 18,000 square feet of street-level retail space. Beatty Development Group (“BDG”) is the developer of the project and has engaged the Company to serve as construction general contractor. Point Street Apartments is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2018; however, management can provide no assurances that Point Street Apartments will open on the anticipated timeline or be completed at the anticipated cost.
BDG secured a senior construction loan of up to $67.0 million to fund the development and construction of Point Street Apartments on November 10, 2016. The Company has agreed to guarantee $25.0 million of the senior construction loan in exchange for the option to purchase up to an 88% controlling interest in Point Street Apartments upon completion of the project as follows: (i) an option to purchase a 79% indirect interest in Point Street Apartments for $27.3 million, exercisable within one year from the project’s completion (the “First Option”) and (ii) provided that the Company has exercised the First Option, an option to purchase an additional 9% indirect interest in Point Street Apartments for $3.1 million, exercisable within 27 months from the project’s completion (the “Second Option”). The Company currently has a $2.1 million letter of credit for the guarantee of the senior construction loan.
The Company’s investment in the Point Street Apartments project is in the form of a loan pursuant to which BDG may borrow up to $28.2 million (the “BDG loan”). Interest on the BDG loan accrues at 8.0% per annum and matures on the earliest of: (i) November 1, 2018, which may be extended by BDG under two one-year extension options, (ii) the maturity date or earlier termination of the senior construction loan or (iii) the date the Company exercises the Second Option as described further below.
10
In the event the Company exercises the First Option, BDG is required to pay down the outstanding BDG loan in full, with the difference between the BDG loan and $28.2 million applied to the senior construction loan. In the event the Company exercises the Second Option, BDG is required to simultaneously repay any remaining amounts outstanding under the BDG loan, with any excess proceeds received from the exercise of the Second Option applied against the senior construction loan. In the event the Company does not exercise either the First Option or the Second Option, the interest rate on the BDG loan will automatically be reduced to the interest rate on the senior construction loan for the remaining term of the BDG loan.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had funded $22.0 million and $20.7 million, respectively, under the BDG loan. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of interest income on the BDG loan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of interest income on the BDG loan. BDG is current on the BDG loan.
Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE. Because BDG is the developer of Point Street Apartments, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance, nor is the Company the party most closely associated with the project. Therefore, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the project in its consolidated financial statements.
Annapolis Junction
On April 21, 2016, the Company entered into a note receivable with a maximum balance of $48.1 million in connection with the Annapolis Junction Apartments project in Maryland ("Annapolis Junction"). Annapolis Junction Apartments is an estimated $102.0 million development project with plans for 416 residential units. It is part of a mixed-use development project that is also planned to have 17,000 square feet of retail space and a 150-room hotel. Annapolis Junction Apartments Owner, LLC (“AJAO”) is the developer of the residential component and has engaged the Company to serve as construction general contractor for the residential component. Portions of Annapolis Junction opened during the third quarter of 2017, and the remaining portions are scheduled to open during the fourth quarter of 2017; however, management can provide no assurances that the remaining portions of Annapolis Junction will open on the anticipated timeline or at the anticipated cost.
AJAO secured a senior construction loan of up to $60.0 million to fund the development and construction of Annapolis Junction's residential component on September 30, 2016. The Company has agreed to guarantee up to $25.0 million of the senior construction loan in exchange for the option to purchase up to an 88% controlling interest in Annapolis Junction upon completion of the project as follows: (i) an option to purchase an 80% indirect interest in Annapolis Junction's residential component for the lesser of the seller’s budgeted or actual cost, exercisable within one year from the project’s completion (the “First Option”) and (ii) provided that the Company has exercised the First Option, an option to purchase an additional 8% indirect interest in Annapolis Junction for the lesser of the seller’s actual or budgeted cost, exercisable within 27 months from the project’s completion (the “Second Option”).
The Company’s investment in the Annapolis Junction project is in the form of a loan under which AJAO may borrow up to $48.1 million, including a $6.0 million interest reserve (the “AJAO loan”). Interest on the AJAO loan accrues at 10.0% per annum and matures on the earliest of: (i) December 21, 2020, which may be extended by AJAO under two one-year extension options, (ii) the maturity date or earlier termination of the senior construction loan or (iii) the date the Company exercises the Second Option as described further below. In the event that the Company exercises the First Option, AJAO is required to simultaneously pay down both the senior construction loan and the AJAO loan by 80%, at which time the interest rate on the AJAO loan will automatically be reduced to the interest rate on the senior construction loan. In the event the Company exercises the Second Option, AJAO is required to simultaneously repay any remaining amounts outstanding under the AJAO loan, with any excess proceeds received from the exercise of the Second Option applied against the remaining balance of the senior construction loan. In the event that the Company does not exercise either the First Option or the Second Option, the interest rate on the AJAO loan will automatically be reduced to the interest rate on the senior construction loan for the remaining term of the AJAO loan.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had funded $41.9 million and $38.9 million, respectively, on the AJAO loan. During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of interest income on the AJAO loan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $3.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, of interest income on the AJAO loan. AJAO is current on the AJAO loan.
11
Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE. Because AJAO is the developer of Annapolis Junction, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance, nor is the Company the party most closely associated with the project. Therefore, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the project in its consolidated financial statements.
Decatur
On May 15, 2017, the Company invested in the development of a $34 million Whole Foods anchored center located in Decatur, Georgia. The Company's investment is in the form of a mezzanine loan of up to $21.8 million to the developer, North Decatur Square Holdings, LLC ("NDSH"). The mezzanine loan bears interest at an annual rate of 15%. The note matures on the earliest of (i) May 15, 2022, (ii) the maturity of the senior construction loan, (iii) the sale of NDSH or (iv) the sale of the center. NDSH is current on this loan.
As of September 30, 2017, the Company had funded $11.4 million on this loan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of interest income on this loan.
Subsequent to September 30, 2017

On October 27, 2017, the Company invested in the development of a $20.0 million Whole Foods anchored center located in Delray Beach, Florida. The Company's investment is in the form of a mezzanine loan of up to $13.1 million to the developer, Delray Plaza Holdings, LLC ("DPH"). The mezzanine loan bears interest at an annual rate of 15%. The note matures on the earliest of (i) October 27, 2020, (ii) the date of any sale or refinance of the development project, or (iii) the disposition or change in control of the development project. The Company has funded $5.9 million of this loan.

On February 20, 2015, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company, as parent guarantor, entered into a $200.0 million senior unsecured credit facility (the "credit facility") that included a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility. During 2016, the Company increased the borrowing capacity under the term loan facility to $100.0 million. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company increased the borrowing capacity under the term loan facility to $125.0 million, increasing the total capacity of the credit facility to $275.0 million pursuant to the accordion feature.

As of September 30, 2017, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 2.78% and 2.74%, respectively. As of September 30, 2017, the revolving credit facility had a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2019, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions, and the term loan facility had a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2020. The Operating Partnership may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding balances on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were $58.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively.
Subsequent to September 30, 2017
On October 26, 2017, the Company amended and restated the credit facility (the "amended credit facility") to (i) extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to October 2021 (with options to extend up to October 2022, subject to certain conditions) and (ii) extend the maturity date of the term loan facility to October 2022. The borrowing capacity under the term loan facility was increased to $150.0 million, increasing the total capacity of the amended credit facility to $300.0 million. The determination of interest rates charged under the amended credit facility remained unchanged.
12
In October 2017, the Company increased its borrowings under the revolving credit facility by $8.0 million and, in conjunction with the closing of the amended credit facility, increased its borrowings under the term loan facility by $25.0 million.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value and presented within other assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that are neither designated nor qualify as hedging instruments are recognized within the change in fair value of interest rate derivatives in the condensed consolidated statements of income. For derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

9. Equity
Stockholders’ Equity
On May 4, 2016, the Company commenced an at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) through which the Company could, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 450,690 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $14.08 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $6.2 million.
On May 12, 2017, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 6.9 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $13.00 per share, which resulted in net proceeds after offering costs and commissions of $85.3 million.
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s authorized capital was 500 million shares of common stock and 100 million shares of preferred stock. The Company had 44,936,652 and 37,490,361 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. No shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests
The noncontrolling interest holder of Johns Hopkins Village has the option to redeem the 20% noncontrolling interest in that entity (the "Put Option"). Currently, the Put Option may be redeemed for $2.0 million in cash or the equivalent amount in Class A units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("Class A Units"), which is in the holder's control. Beginning in August 2018, the Put Option may be settled for the fair value of the 20% noncontrolling interest in Johns Hopkins Village, as determined by appraised value. Because the method of the Put Option's redemption is outside of the Company's control, it has been included in temporary equity. If the Put Option is exercised for redemption in the form of Class A Units, the noncontrolling interest will be reclassified into permanent equity.
14
Noncontrolling Interests
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held a 71.6% and 68.1% interest, respectively, in the Operating Partnership. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership as it has the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership and the rights to absorb 71.6% of the net income of the Operating Partnership. As the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in the Company represent units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company. The Company's financial position and results of operations are the same as those of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interest for the consolidated entities under development or construction (see Note 1) was zero as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
As of September 30, 2017, there were 17,570,512 Class A Units not held by the Company.
As partial consideration for the acquisition of Columbus Village, the Operating Partnership issued 1,000,000 Class B Units on July 10, 2015 and issued 275,000 Class C Units on January 10, 2017. The Class B Units were automatically converted to Class A Units on July 10, 2017. Subject to the occurrence of certain events, the Class C Units will not earn or accrue distributions until January 10, 2018, at which time they automatically will convert into Class A Units.
On January 10, 2017, the Operating Partnership issued 68,691 Class A Units to acquire the remaining 20% interest in the Town Center Phase VI project.

On June 14, 2017, the Company's stockholders approved the Company's Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Amended Plan"), which, among other things, increased the number of shares of the Company's common stock reserved for issuance under the Amended Plan by 1,000,000 shares, from 700,000 shares to 1,700,000 shares. As of September 30, 2017, there were 1,084,942 shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted an aggregate of 117,201 shares of restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted average grant date fair value of $14.03 per share. Employee restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of two years: one-third immediately on the grant date and the remaining two-thirds in equal amounts on the first two anniversaries following the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company. Non-employee director restricted stock awards vest either immediately upon grant or over a period of one year, subject to continued service to the Company.
15
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued performance-based awards in the form of restricted stock units to certain employees. The performance period for these awards is three years, with a required two-year service period immediately following the expiration of the performance period. The compensation expense and the effect on the Company’s weighted average diluted shares calculation were immaterial.
During the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. As of September 30, 2017, there were 112,838 nonvested restricted shares outstanding; the total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted shares was $0.8 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 23 months.
11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3—unobservable inputs
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest rate swaps and caps. The Company measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Company’s long term debt is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Discounted cash flow analysis based on Level 2 inputs is generally used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s long term debt. Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, all of which are based on Level 2 inputs, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, were as follows (in thousands):
September 30, 2017 | December 31, 2016 | |||||||||||||||

12. Related Party Transactions
The Company provides general contracting and real estate services to certain related party entities that are not included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue from construction contracts with related party entities of the Company for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was less than $0.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively, and gross profit from such contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Revenue from construction contracts with related party entities of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $7.4 million and $21.7 million, respectively, and gross profit from such contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
16
Real estate services fees from affiliated entities of the Company were not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016. In addition, affiliated entities also reimburse the Company for monthly maintenance and facilities management services provided to the properties. Cost reimbursements earned by the Company from affiliated entities were not significant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
The Operating Partnership entered into tax protection agreements that indemnify certain directors and executive officers of the Company from their tax liabilities resulting from the potential future sale of certain of the Company’s properties within seven (or, in a limited number of cases, ten) years of the completion of the Company’s initial public offering and formation transactions completed on May 13, 2013. In addition, the tax protection agreements provide that the Operating Partnership will offer certain of the original contributors, including certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers, the opportunity to guarantee debt, or, alternatively, to enter into a deficit restoration obligation, for ten years from the closing of the Company’s initial public offering in a manner intended to provide an allocation of Operating Partnership liabilities to the partner for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to these tax protection agreements, certain of the Company’s executive officers have guaranteed approximately $0.3 million of the Operating Partnership’s outstanding debt as of September 30, 2017.
The loan for the City Center joint venture is underwritten by a syndicate which includes Park Sterling Bank. The Chief Executive Officer of Park Sterling Bank is the Chairman of the Company’s Audit Committee.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
The Company currently is a party to various legal proceedings. Management accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
Under the Company’s leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify the Company from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against it as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant.
Commitments
The Company has a bonding line of credit for its general contracting construction business and is contingently liable under performance and payment bonds, bonds for cancellation of mechanics liens and defect bonds. Such bonds collectively totaled $44.9 million and $40.5 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
The Operating Partnership has entered into standby letters of credit using the available capacity under the senior unsecured credit facility. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event the Company does not perform. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Operating Partnership had total outstanding letters of credit of $4.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The amounts outstanding at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 include $2.0 million relating to construction projects and a $2.1 million letter of credit related to the guarantee on the Point Street Apartments senior construction loan.

Review Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. as of September 30, 2017, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and the condensed consolidated statement of equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated March 1, 2017. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
• | adverse economic or real estate developments, either nationally or in the markets in which our properties are located; |
• | our failure to develop the properties in our development pipeline successfully, on the anticipated timeline, or at the anticipated costs; |
• | our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness; |
• | defaults on, early terminations of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants, including significant tenants; |
• | bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant or a substantial number of smaller tenants; |
• | difficulties in identifying or completing development, acquisition, or disposition opportunities; |
• | our failure to successfully operate developed and acquired properties; |
• | our failure to generate income in our general contracting and real estate services segment in amounts that we anticipate; |
• | fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs; |
• | our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on favorable terms or at all; |
• | our inability to extend the maturity of or refinance existing debt or comply with the financial covenants in the agreements that govern our existing debt; |
• | financial market fluctuations; |
• | risks that affect the general retail environment or the market for office properties or multifamily units; |
• | the competitive environment in which we operate; |
• | decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates; |
• | conflicts of interests with our officers and directors; |
• | lack or insufficient amounts of insurance; |
19
• | environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters; |
• | other factors affecting the real estate industry generally; |
• | our failure to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
• | limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules in order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and |
• | changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof, such as real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates and taxation of REITs. |
While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events, or other changes after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by applicable law. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urge investors to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and identified in other documents that we file from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Third Quarter 2017 Highlights
The following highlights our results of operations and significant transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2017:
•Net income of $10.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $7.9 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
•Funds from operations ("FFO") of $15.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $13.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
•Normalized funds from operations (“Normalized FFO”) of $15.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $13.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
•Core operating property portfolio occupancy at 94.7% as of September 30, 2017 compared to 94.2% as of June 30, 2017.
•Property segment net operating income (“NOI”) of $17.6 million compared to $17.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016:
• | Office NOI of $2.8 million compared to $3.2 million |
• | Retail NOI of $11.6 million compared to $10.7 million |
• | Multifamily NOI of $3.1 million compared to $3.1 million |
•Same store NOI of $13.8 million compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016:

22
Segment Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2017, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate and (iv) general contracting and real estate services, which are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses), or “NOI”, is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of NOI to net income.
We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. Same store properties exclude those that were in lease-up during either of the periods presented. We generally consider a property to be in lease-up until the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy.
Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2017, our calculation of core occupancy included, and in future periods will include, the square footage from ground leases where we are the lessor. We did not retrospectively apply this new calculation methodology to prior periods. If we were to exclude these ground leases in the calculation of core occupancy, our core occupancy as of September 30, 2017 would have been 94.3%.

Office segment NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2016. The decreases are due to decreased occupancy at Armada Hoffler Tower and property dispositions. The Richmond Tower office building, which was sold in the first quarter of 2016, and the Oyster Point office building, which was sold in the third quarter of 2016, contributed $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in office segment NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Commonwealth of Virginia-Chesapeake and Commonwealth of Virginia-Virginia Beach office buildings, which contributed an aggregate of $0.2 million and $0.8 million in office segment NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, were sold in the third quarter of 2017.
Office Same Store Results
Office same store results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 exclude new real estate development – 4525 Main Street – as well as the Richmond Tower and Oyster Point office buildings, which we sold in the first quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2016, respectively, and the Commonwealth of Virginia-Chesapeake and Commonwealth of Virginia-Virginia Beach office buildings, which were sold in the third quarter of 2017.

Office same store NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased 11.9% and 9.5%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2016 due to the expansion and relocation of a tenant from One Columbus to 4525 Main Street during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and the expansion and relocation of another tenant from Two Columbus to 4525 Main Street during the three months ended September 30, 2017. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the NOI from these tenants that relocated to 4525 Main Street are included in Non-Same Store NOI. In addition, decreased occupancy at the Armada Hoffler Tower contributed to the period-over-period decreases in office same store NOI.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased 2.7% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016 due to a reduction in franchise fees. General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased 13.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of higher regulatory and compliance costs and higher compensation and benefit costs from increased employee headcount.
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased compared to the corresponding periods in 2016. The costs incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were primarily related to the acquisition of the 11-property retail portfolio in January 2016.
Impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were primarily due to lease terminations.
Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased compared to the corresponding periods in 2016 due to higher notes receivable balances, including the Decatur mezzanine loan originated in May 2017.
Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased 3.1% and 11.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2016 primarily as a result of higher interest rates.
The loss on extinguishment of debt for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was due to unamortized debt issuance costs associated with repaid mortgages as well as costs associated with modifying our credit facility.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a gain of $3.4 million on our sale of the Greentree Wawa outparcel, a gain of $4.2 million on our sale of the Commonwealth of Virginia-Chesapeake and Commonwealth of Virginia-Virginia Beach office buildings and a gain of $0.5 million on our sale of the land outparcel at Sandbridge Commons. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized gains of $30.4 million on our sales of the Richmond Tower office building and the Newport News Economic Authority building.
The change in fair value of interest rate derivatives for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was an increase of $0.1 million compared to an increase of $0.5 million for the corresponding period in 2016 due to less dramatic changes in forward LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate). The change in fair value of interest rate derivatives for the nine months
29
ended September 30, 2017 was an increase of $0.3 million compared to a decrease of $2.3 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was due to dedesignation of our hedge accounting.
Income tax provisions that we recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction, borrowings available under our senior unsecured credit facility and net proceeds from the sale of common stock.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our senior unsecured credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of September 30, 2017, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $19.7 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development activities. We also had restricted cash of $3.2 million available for property improvements and required maintenance. As of September 30, 2017, we had $92.0 million of available borrowings under our credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.
Credit Facility
On October 26, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “amended credit agreement”), which provides for a $300.0 million credit facility comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “revolving credit facility”) and a $150.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “term loan facility” and, together with the revolving credit facility, the “credit facility”), with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and L/C issuer, Regions Bank and PNC Bank, National Association, as syndication agents, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Regions Capital Markets and PNC Capital Markets LLC, as joint lead arrangers, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as sole bookrunner and the other lenders party thereto. The amended credit facility replaces our prior $150.0 million revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature on February 20, 2019, and our prior $125.0 million term loan facility, which was scheduled to mature on February 20, 2021. We intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio and for working capital.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $450.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 26, 2021, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 26, 2022.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.40% to 2.00% and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.35% to 1.95%, in each case depending on our total leverage. We are also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the credit facility. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from S&P and Moody’s, we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on our credit ratings.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
• | Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition that is equal to or greater than 10% of our total asset value (as defined in the credit agreement), but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility); |
31
• | Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0; |
• | Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of 75% of tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) as of September 30, 2017 and 75% of the net equity proceeds received after June 30, 2017; |
• | Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 40%; |
• | Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 20%; |
• | Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition that is equal to or greater than 10% of our total asset value, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility); |
• | Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0; |
• | Ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in the credit agreement) to all unsecured debt of not less than 12%; |
• | Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than $300.0 million at any time; and |
• | Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the credit agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time. |
The credit facility limits our ability to pay cash dividends. However, so long as no default or event of default exists, the credit agreement allows us to pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period in an amount not to exceed the greater of: (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the amount required for us (a) to maintain our status as a REIT and (b) to avoid income or excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period to the extent necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. The credit facility also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts the amount of stock and OP units that we may repurchase during the term of the credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

Interest Rate Derivatives
On February 20, 2015, we entered into a $50.0 million floating-to-fixed interest rate swap attributable to one-month LIBOR indexed interest payments. The $50.0 million interest rate swap has a fixed rate of 2.00%, an effective date of March 1, 2016 and a maturity date of February 20, 2020. We entered into this interest rate swap agreement in connection with the $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.95%, depending on our total leverage.
On July 13, 2015, we entered into a $6.5 million floating-to-fixed interest rate swap attributable to one-month LIBOR indexed interest payments. The $6.5 million interest rate swap has a fixed rate of 3.05%, an effective date of July 13, 2015 and a maturity date of April 5, 2018.
On February 7, 2017, we entered into a LIBOR interest rate cap agreement on a notional amount of $50.0 million at a strike rate of 1.50% for a premium of less than $0.2 million. The interest rate cap agreement expires on March 1, 2019.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased 5.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily as a result of timing differences in operating assets and liabilities.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we invested 63.0% less cash compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The primary component of the 2016 investments was our acquisition of the 11-property retail portfolio.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased 79.0% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily as a result of debt and credit facility repayments during the 2017 period, partially offset by increased net proceeds from equity issuances.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
35
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculation of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our year-over-year performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, property acquisition, development and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives and other non-comparable items.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

The adjustment for gain on operating real estate dispositions excludes the gain recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2016 on the Newport News Economic Authority building because this building was sold before being placed in service. Additionally, the adjustment for gain on operating real estate dispositions excludes the gain recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2017 on the land outparcel at Sandbridge Commons because this was a non-operating parcel.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon then-currently available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We discuss the accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to understanding our reported financial results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On a limited basis, we
36
also use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. We do not use these derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes.
At September 30, 2017, approximately $234.8 million, or 47.6%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $258.7 million, or 52.4%, had variable interest rates. At September 30, 2017, LIBOR was approximately 123 basis points. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points, our cash flow would increase by approximately $0.5 million per year as a result of the interest rate caps. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR decreased by 100 basis points, our cash flow would increase by approximately $2.4 million per year.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2017, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of September 30, 2017, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act: (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material or which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations if determined adversely to us. We may be subject to ongoing litigation relating to our portfolio and the properties comprising our portfolio, and we expect to otherwise be party from time to time to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
