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, the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Table of Contents

In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 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 FASB issued a new standard that provides a single, comprehensive model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. While the new standard does not supersede the guidance on accounting for leases, it could change the way the Company recognizes revenue from construction and development contracts with third party customers. 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. A substantial portion of our 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. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new revenue standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 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.
 
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 date of initial application with an option to use certain transition relief. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new lease standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
  
On March 30, 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that will change the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees.  Entities will be required to recognize the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, and allows the Company to account for forfeitures as they occur.  The new guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017.  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 is 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.

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 revenue standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 was as follows (in thousands):

Subsequent to March 31, 2017

On April 20, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the Courthouse 7-Eleven property for $2.4 million. The Company expects the sale to close in the third quarter of 2017.

5. Equity Method Investments

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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company has invested $10.8 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 March 31, 2017, $4.9 million has been drawn against the construction loan.
 
As of March 31, 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 months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, City Center did not have any operating activity, and therefore the Company did not receive any dividends or allocated income.

Table of Contents

Based on the terms of City Center’s operating agreement, the Company has concluded that City Center is a variable interest entity, 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 $93.0 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 2017; however, management can provide no assurances that Point Street Apartments will open on the anticipated timeline.
 
BDG secured a senior construction loan of up to $70.0 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 1 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 under 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 earlier 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.
 
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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had funded $21.1 million and $20.6 million, respectively, under the BDG loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of interest income on the BDG loan. No portion of the note receivable is past due and the Company has not recorded an impairment balance on the note.

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.

Annapolis Junction

On April 21, 2016, the Company entered into a note receivable with a maximum balance of $48.1 million in the Annapolis Junction residential component of the Annapolis Junction Town Center project in Maryland (“Annapolis Junction”). Annapolis Junction is an estimated $102.0 million mixed-use development project with plans for 416 residential units, 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. Annapolis Junction is scheduled to open in 2017; however, management can provide no assurances that Annapolis Junction will open on the anticipated timeline or at the anticipated cost.

Table of Contents

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 earlier 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had funded $39.9 million and $38.9 million, respectively, on the AJAO loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized $1.0 million of interest income on the AJAO loan. No portion of the note receivable balance is past due and the Company has not recorded an impairment balance on the note.

Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE. Because AJAO 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.

7. Indebtedness
 
Credit Facility
 
On February 20, 2015, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company, as parent guarantor, entered into a new $200.0 million senior unsecured credit facility that includes 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 borrowings under the senior unsecured term loan facility to $100.0 million. During the first quarter of 2017, the Company increased the borrowings under the senior unsecured term loan facility to $125.0 million, increasing the total capacity of the credit facility to $275.0 million pursuant to the accordion feature.
 
Depending on the Operating Partnership’s total leverage, the revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.40% to 2.00% and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.95%. As of March 31, 2017, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 2.53% and 2.48%, respectively. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2019, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions, and the term loan facility has 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.
 
On February 25, 2016, the Company amended the credit facility to, among other things, allow the maximum leverage ratio of the Company to be increased to 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition that is equal to or greater than 10% of the Company’s total asset value (as defined in the credit agreement), but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility.
  
As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding balances on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were $82.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively.

8. Derivative Financial Instruments
 
The Company may enter into interest rate derivative contracts to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value and presented within other assets and 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.

On February 1, 2017, the North Point Center Note 5 was paid in full, which terminated the interest rate swap agreement associated with the note. The loss on the interest rate swap agreement was not significant.

On February 7, 2017, the Operating Partnership 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.

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 may, 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 three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 248,559 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $14.17 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds after offering costs and commissions of $3.4 million.
 
As of March 31, 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 37,813,127 and 37,490,361 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. No shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 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 at the holder's control. Upon the first anniversary of the certificate of occupancy, which occurs in August 2017, 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 timing of the Put Option's redemption is outside of the Company's control, it has been included in temporary equity. Upon the exercise of the Put Option, it will be reclassed into permanent equity.
 
Noncontrolling Interests
 
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company held a 67.9% 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 67.9% 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 noncontrolling interest for the consolidated entities under development or construction (see Note 1) was zero as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
 
As of March 31, 2017, there were 16,583,610 Class A Units not held by the Company.
 
As partial consideration for 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. Subject to the occurrence of certain events, the Class B Units and Class C Units will not earn or accrue distributions until July 10, 2017 and January 10, 2018, respectively, at which time each automatically will convert to 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.

10. Stock-Based Compensation
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company granted an aggregate of 94,991 shares of restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted average grant date fair value of $13.99 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.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. As of March 31, 2017, there were 111,382 nonvested restricted shares outstanding; the total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted shares was $1.0 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.

Gross profit from such contracts was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Revenue from construction contracts with related party entities of the Company was $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Gross profit from such contracts was less than $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Real estate services fees from affiliated entities of the Company were not significant for either the three months ended March 31, 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 either the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 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 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 March 31, 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, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Management accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe 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 $40.1 million and $40.5 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
 
The Operating Partnership has entered into standby letters of credit using the available capacity under the credit facility. The letters of credit relate to the guarantee of future performance on certain of the Company’s construction contracts. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event the Company does not perform. As of March 31, 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 March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 include 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 March 31, 2017, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and the condensed consolidated statement of equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 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;

•
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”).

Acquisitions and Dispositions

On January 4, 2017, we acquired undeveloped land in Charleston, South Carolina for a contract price of $7.1 million plus capitalized acquisition costs of $0.2 million. We intend to use the land for future development.

On January 20, 2017, we completed the sale of the Wawa outparcel at Greentree Shopping Center. Net proceeds after transaction costs were $4.4 million. The gain on the disposition was $3.4 million.

On April 20, 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell the Courthouse 7-Eleven property for $2.4 million. We expect the sale to close in the third quarter of 2017.

The following highlights our results of operations and significant transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2017:

•Funds from operations ("FFO") of $14.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $8.4 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Segment Results of Operations
 
As of March 31, 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 March 31, 2017 would have been 96.1%.

Office segment NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased $0.4 million compared to the corresponding period in 2016. This decrease is due to the sales of the Richmond Tower and Oyster Point office buildings, which contributed $0.4 million in office segment NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2016. We completed the sale of Richmond Tower in the first quarter of 2016 and the sale of the Oyster Point office building in the third quarter of 2016.

Office Same Store Results
 
Office same store results for the three months ended March 31, 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.

Office same store NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased 2.4% compared to the corresponding period in 2016 due to the relocation of one tenant from One Columbus to 4525 Main Street during the three months ended December 31, 2016 and decreased occupancy at Armada Hoffler Tower. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the NOI from this tenant is now included in Non-Same Store NOI.

The acquisitions of Southgate Square, Southshore Shops, Columbus Village II and Renaissance Square, together with the completion of Lightfoot Marketplace and Brooks Crossing, contributed a total of $1.7 million of NOI during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The remainder of the increase for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was due to a full quarter of activity for the remaining nine properties of the 11-property retail portfolio, which was acquired on January 14, 2016. Two properties from the 11-property retail portfolio were subsequently sold during 2016.

Office real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased compared to the corresponding period in 2016 due to the sales of Richmond Tower and Oyster Point office buildings. Retail and multifamily real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased compared to the corresponding period in 2016 as a result of acquisitions, completion of development projects that were placed into service subsequent to the first quarter of 2016 and increases from new tax assessments.
 
General contracting and real estate services expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased 74.7% compared to the corresponding period in 2016 as a result of several new large projects started subsequent to the first quarter of 2016, partially offset by lower margins.
 
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased 16.3% compared to the corresponding period in 2016 as a result of property acquisitions and completion of development projects that were placed into service subsequent to the first quarter of 2016.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased 20.2% compared to the corresponding period in 2016 as a result of higher regulatory and compliance costs, higher compensation and benefit costs from increased employee headcount and franchise taxes based on our operations in certain states.
 
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased compared to the corresponding period in 2016. Approximately $0.7 million of the acquisition costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2016 were related to the acquisition of the 11-property retail portfolio.
 
Impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were primarily due to lease terminations.
 
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased 20% compared to the corresponding period in 2016, primarily as a result of increased borrowings. 
 
The change in fair value of interest rate derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was an increase of $0.3 million compared to a decrease of $2.4 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was due to the increase in LIBOR, while the expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was due to dedesignation of our hedge accounting. 
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized gains of $3.4 million on our sale of the Greentree Wawa outparcel. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized gains of $26.7 million on our sales of the Richmond Tower office building and the Newport News Economic Authority building.
 
Income tax provisions that we recognized during the three months ended March 31, 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 credit facility and proceeds from the sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program, which is discussed below.
 
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements 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 credit facility pending long-term financing.
 
As of March 31, 2017, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $10.0 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development activities. We also had restricted cash of $3.6 million available for property improvements and required maintenance. As of March 31, 2017, we had $64.0 million of available borrowings under our credit facility and $10.6 million available for future issuance under our ATM Program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.
 
ATM Equity Offering Programs
 
On May 4, 2016, we commenced an at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program") through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of $75.0 million. Our sale of shares under the ATM Program will depend on a variety of factors, including among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, capital needs and our determination of appropriate sources of funding. We have no obligation to sell any shares and may at any time suspend or terminate the ATM Program. Each of our sales agents are entitled to a commission of up to 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds of shares that they sell through the ATM Program. We intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of shares through the ATM Program to fund development or redevelopment activities, fund potential acquisition opportunities, repay indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under our credit facility, or for general corporate purposes. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, we raised approximately $3.5 million of gross proceeds at a weighted average price of $14.17 per share under the ATM Program, resulting in net proceeds after offering costs and commissions of $3.4 million.
 
Credit Facility
 
On February 20, 2015, we entered into a $200.0 million senior unsecured credit facility that includes a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility. The credit facility replaced the prior $155.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on May 13, 2016. We intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, 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 $350.0 million, subject to certain conditions. On January 5, 2016, March 31, 2016 and February 1, 2017, we increased the total borrowing capacity to $225.0 million, $250.0 million and $275.0 million, respectively, using this feature. The amount permitted to be borrowed under the credit facility, together with all of our other unsecured indebtedness, is generally limited to the lesser of: (i) 60% of the value of our unencumbered borrowing base properties, (ii) the maximum amount of principal that would result in a debt service coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.0, and (iii) the maximum aggregate loan commitment, which currently is $275.0 million.
 
The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2019, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2020. We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
 
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.40% to 2.00%, depending on our total leverage. The term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.95%, 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 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.
 
On February 25, 2016, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility to, among other things, amend the maximum leverage ratio as set forth below.
 
The credit facility requires us to comply with various financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•
Total leverage ratio of the Company of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition that is equal to or greater than 10% of our total asset value (as defined in the credit agreement), but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility); 
•
Ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges of the Company of not less than 1.50 to 1.0; 
•
Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $220.0 million and 75% of the net equity proceeds received after December 31, 2014; 
•
Ratio of variable rate indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 30%;
•
Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 45%; and 
•
Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 25%.
 
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.
 
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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have entered into standby letters of credit relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain of our construction contracts. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event we do not perform. As of March 31, 2017, we had aggregate outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $4.1 million that expire during 2017. However, any of our standby letters of credit may be renewed for additional periods until completion of the underlying contractual obligation.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased 30.1% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily as a result of decreased net cash collected under our construction contracts and timing differences in operating assets and liabilities.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we invested 88.0% less cash compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The primarily component of the 2016 investments was our acquisition of the 11-property retail portfolio.
 
Net cash used in/provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased 107.1% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily as a result of reduced net proceeds from common stock sales and reduced net borrowings on the credit facility.
 
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.
 
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 the Company’s operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company’s 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.

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 also use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. We do not use these derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes.
 
At March 31, 2017, approximately $240.1 million, or 45.5%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $287.4 million, or 54.5%, had variable interest rates. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if interest rates increased by 1.0%, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $1.0 million per year. At March 31, 2017, LIBOR was approximately 98 basis points. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR was reduced to 0 basis points, our cash flow would increase by approximately $2.8 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 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the

desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 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 March 31, 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 on-going 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. 
 
Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
