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”).
 

6

Table of Contents

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.

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, 2017.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates.
 
Significant Accounting Policies

General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the new accounting standard codified in Accounting Standards Codification 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (see also "Recent Accounting Pronouncements" below). The Company recognizes general contracting revenues as a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For each construction contract, the Company identifies the performance obligations, which typically include the delivery of a single building constructed according to the specifications of the contract. The Company estimates the total transaction price, which generally includes a fixed contract price and may also include variable components such as early completion bonuses, liquidated damages, or cost savings to be shared with the customer. Variable components of the contract price are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company recognizes the estimated transaction price as revenue as it satisfies its performance obligations, and the Company estimates its progress in satisfying performance obligations for each contract using the percentage-of-completion method, based on the proportion of incurred costs to total estimated construction costs at completion. Construction contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, subcontract costs, and overhead costs directly related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are all significant judgments that may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined. The Company defers pre-contract costs when such costs are directly associated with specific anticipated contracts and their recovery is probable.
 
The Company recognizes real estate services revenues from property development and management services as it satisfies its performance obligations under these service arrangements.

The Company assesses whether multiple contracts with a single counterparty should be combined into a single contract for revenue recognition purposes based on factors such as the timing of the negotiation and execution of the contracts and whether the economic substance of the contracts was contemplated separately or in tandem.

See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a description of other accounting principles upon which basis the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared.

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. While the new standard does not supersede

Table of Contents

the guidance on accounting for leases, it changes the way the Company recognizes revenue from construction and development contracts with third party customers. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, applying this standard to all contracts not yet completed as of that date. In applying the standard to the Company’s future construction contracts, certain pre-contract costs incurred by the Company are now deferred and amortized over the period during which construction obligations are fulfilled. Previously, these costs were immediately recorded as general contracting expenses upon commencement of construction, with the corresponding general contracting revenue also recorded. Applying the standard to the Company’s uncompleted contracts as of January 1, 2018 did not result in material differences to these contracts in aggregate, and no cumulative adjustment to distributions in excess of earnings was recorded as of January 1, 2018.
 
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. The Company is the lessee on certain ground leases and equipment leases, which represents a majority of the Company's current operating lease payments, and expects to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for these leases under the new standard.
  
In 2016, the FASB issued new guidance that addresses eight classification issues related to the statement of cash flows and requires the presentation of total changes in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this new guidance effective December 31, 2017, applying it retrospectively to each period presented. The new guidance requires that the statement of cash flows show changes in restricted cash in addition to changes in cash and cash equivalents. No additional changes were required to be made to the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table sets forth the items from the Company's consolidated balance sheets that are included in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

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 Company adopted the new guidance on January 1, 2018, and it did not have a material impact 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 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 but may designate new derivative contracts as hedging instruments in the future. 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 months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows (in thousands):

Table of Contents

2018, the Company acquired undeveloped land in Chesterfield, Virginia, a portion of which will serve as the site for this facility, for a contract price of $2.4 million plus capitalized acquisition costs of $0.1 million.

On January 18, 2018, the Company entered into an operating agreement with a partner to develop a Lowes Foods-anchored shopping center in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The Company has a 70% ownership interest in the partnership. The partnership, Market at Mill Creek Partners, LLC acquired undeveloped land on February 16, 2018 for a contract price of $2.9 million plus capitalized acquisition costs of $0.1 million. The Company is responsible for funding the equity requirements of this development. Management has concluded that this entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") as it lacks sufficient equity to fund its operations without additional financial support. The Company is the developer of the shopping center and has the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance and is the party most closely associated with the project. Therefore, the Company is the project's primary beneficiary and consolidates the project in its consolidated financial statements.

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. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company invested an additional $1.3 million in City Center. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had invested $12.2 million and $10.9 million, respectively, in City Center, and the carrying value of the Company's investment was $12.8 million and $11.4 million, respectively. 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, $33.0 million and $29.2 million, respectively, had been drawn against the construction loan, of which $12.3 million and $11.2 million, respectively, was attributable to the Company's portion of the loan.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, City Center did not have any operating activity, and therefore the Company did not receive any distributions or allocated income. 
 
Based on the terms of City Center’s operating agreement, the Company has concluded that City Center is a 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 $98.0 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. Portions of Point Street Apartments opened during the first quarter of 2018, and the remaining portions are scheduled to open during the second quarter of 2018; however, management can provide no assurances that the remaining portions of 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

11

Table of Contents

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, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had funded $23.2 million and $22.4 million, respectively, under the BDG loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of interest income on the BDG 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 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 $106.0 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. The final portions of Annapolis Junction opened during the first quarter of 2018.
 
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 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 until December 19, 2018 (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 until March 2019 (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. 

The balance on the Annapolis Junction note was $44.1 million and $43.0 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, of interest income on the note.

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

12

Table of Contents

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.

North Decatur Square

On May 15, 2017, the Company entered into a note receivable with a maximum principal balance of $21.8 million for the development of an estimated $37.0 million Whole Foods-anchored center located in Decatur, Georgia. On January 31, 2018, the note was amended to increase the maximum amount of the note to $25.7 million. The borrower of the note and developer of the shopping center is 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.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had funded $14.6 million and $11.8 million, respectively, on this note. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized $0.5 million of interest income on this note. 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 NDSH is the developer of North Decatur Square, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. Therefore, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the project in its consolidated financial statements.

Delray Plaza

On October 27, 2017, the Company entered into a note receivable with a maximum principal balance of $13.1 million for the development of a $20.0 million Whole Foods-anchored center located in Delray Beach, Florida. The borrower of the note and developer of the shopping center is 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.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had funded $6.3 million and $5.4 million, respectively, on this note. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recognized $0.2 million of interest income on this note. 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 DPH is the developer of Delray Plaza, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. Therefore, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the project in its consolidated financial statements.

7. Construction Contracts

Construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned under contracts in progress as of the balance sheet date. Such amounts become billable according to contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. The Company expects to bill and collect substantially all construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings as of March 31, 2018 during the next twelve months.  
 
Billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings represent billings or collections on contracts made in advance of revenue recognized.

The Company defers pre-contract costs when such costs are directly associated with specific anticipated contracts and their recovery is probable. Pre-contract costs of $0.5 million and $0.3 million were deferred as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
 
Construction receivables and payables include retentions--amounts that are generally withheld until the completion of the contract or the satisfaction of certain restrictive conditions such as fulfillment guarantees. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, construction receivables included retentions of $9.4 million and $12.9 million, respectively.

Credit Facility
 
On October 26, 2017, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “credit agreement”), which provides for a $300.0 million senior 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 a syndicate of banks.
 
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.
 
On March 28, 2018, the Operating Partnership increased the maximum commitments under the credit facility to $330.0 million using the accordion feature, with an increase of the term loan facility to $180.0 million.

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 the Company's total leverage. The Company is 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.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility was $108.0 million and $66.0 million, respectively, and the outstanding balance on the term loan facility was $180.0 million and $150.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2018, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 3.43% and 3.38%, respectively. The Company may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.

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

The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.

Subsequent to March 31, 2018

In April 2018, the Company increased its borrowings under the revolving credit facility by $19.0 million.

9. 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 March 7, 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into a LIBOR interest rate cap agreement on a notional amount of $50.0 million at a strike rate of 2.25% for a premium of $0.3 million. The interest rate cap expires on April 1, 2020.

10. Equity
 
Stockholders’ Equity
 
On February 26, 2018, 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 $125.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock under the ATM Program.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s authorized capital was 500 million shares of common stock and 100 million shares of preferred stock. The Company had 45,205,575 and 44,937,763 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. No shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017.
 
Noncontrolling Interests
 
As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company held a 72.2% and 72.0% 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 72.2% 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. As of March 31, 2018, there were 17,440,861 Class A Units 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 March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.
 
On January 2, 2018, due to the holders of Class A Units tendering an aggregate of 163,000 Class A Units for redemption by the Operating Partnership, the Company elected to satisfy the redemption request through the issuance of an equal number of shares of common stock.

As partial consideration for the acquisition of Columbus Village, the Operating Partnership issued 1,000,000 class B units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("Class B Units") on July 10, 2015 and issued 275,000 class C units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("Class C Units") on January 10, 2017. The Class B Units were automatically converted to Class A Units on July 10, 2017. The Class C Units were automatically converted into Class A Units on January 10, 2018.

As partial consideration for the acquisition of Parkway Centre, the Operating Partnership issued 117,228 Class A Units on January 29, 2018.

Common Stock Dividends and Class A Unit Distributions
 
On January 4, 2018, the Company paid cash dividends of $8.5 million to common stockholders and the Operating Partnership paid cash distributions of $3.3 million to holders of Class A Units.

On February 22, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend and distribution of $0.20 per share and unit payable on April 5, 2018 to stockholders and unitholders of record on March 28, 2018.

Subsequent to March 31, 2018

On April 2, 2018, due to the holders of Class A Units tendering an aggregate of 187,142 Class A Units for redemption by the Operating Partnership, the Company elected to satisfy the redemption request with an aggregate cash payment of $2.5 million.

On April 5, 2018, the Company paid cash dividends of $9.0 million to common stockholders and the Operating Partnership paid cash distributions of $3.5 million to holders of Class A Units.

On April 17, 2018, the Operating Partnership issued 36,684 Class A Units to the former noncontrolling interest holder of John Hopkins Village due to the satisfaction of a contingent event that was part of the redemption of its redeemable noncontrolling interest in Johns Hopkins Village in December 2017.

During April 2018, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 31,468 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $13.79 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $0.4 million.

11. Stock-Based Compensation
 
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 March 31, 2018, there were 1,050,269 shares available for issuance under the Amended Plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company granted an aggregate of 131,065 shares of restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted average grant date fair value of $13.35 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, 2018, 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 in order to fully vest. The compensation expense and the effect on the Company’s weighted average diluted shares calculation were immaterial.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized $0.8 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. As of March 31, 2018, there were 135,484 nonvested restricted shares outstanding; the total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted shares was $1.3 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 24 months.
 
12. 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 
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, all of which are based on Level 2 inputs, as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, were as follows (in thousands):

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 March 31, 2018.
 
14. 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 $43.8 million and $44.9 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
 
The Operating Partnership has entered into standby letters of credit using the available capacity under the credit facility. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event the Company does not perform. As of both March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership had total outstanding letters of credit of $2.1 million. The amounts outstanding at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were comprised of a $2.1 million letter of credit related to the guarantee on the Point Street Apartments senior construction loan.

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

First Quarter 2018 Highlights
 
The following highlights our results of operations and significant transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2018:
 
•Net income of $7.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $8.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. 
•Funds from operations ("FFO") of $16.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $14.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” 
•Normalized funds from operations (“Normalized FFO”) of $15.4 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $14.6 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Segment Results of Operations
 
As of March 31, 2018, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate and (iv) general contracting and real estate services, which are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) ("NOI") is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of NOI to net income.
 
We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon 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. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete and the assets are placed back into service.

Office segment NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased slightly compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in revenues and expenses relate primarily to a new tenant at 4525 Main Street that moved in during December 2017. In addition, real estate tax expense and other expenses increased across the office portfolio and were not entirely recovered due to new full service office tenants who are still in their base years. The increases were partially offset by the disposition of the Commonwealth of Virginia-Chesapeake and Commonwealth of Virginia-Virginia Beach office buildings, which contributed an aggregate of $0.3 million in office segment NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Office Same Store Results
 
Office same store results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 exclude 4525 Main Street as well as the Commonwealth of Virginia-Chesapeake and Commonwealth of Virginia-Virginia Beach office buildings, which were both sold in the third quarter of 2017.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the NOI from this tenant that relocated to 4525 Main Street was included in Non-Same Store NOI. In addition, real estate tax expense and other expenses increased across the office portfolio and were not entirely recovered due to new full service office tenants that are still in their base years.

Multifamily segment NOI increased slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily a result of activity for Johns Hopkins Village, which experienced higher occupancy during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.
 
Multifamily Same Store Results
 
Multifamily same store results exclude new real estate development - specifically Johns Hopkins Village, which was placed into service in the third quarter of 2016. Multifamily same store results also exclude The Cosmopolitan, which is undergoing a redevelopment project that began on March 1, 2018.

Multifamily same store NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased 0.7% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase is primarily the result of increased rental rates at Smith’s Landing offset by higher real estate tax expense at Liberty Apartments.

Office real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased 11.6% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to increased assessments across the office portfolio partially offset by the sale of the Commonwealth of Virginia-Chesapeake and Commonwealth of Virginia-Virginia Beach office buildings. Retail and multifamily real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 as a result of acquisitions and increases from new tax assessments.
 
General contracting and real estate services expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased 63.4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 as there were no significant new third-party contracts in late 2017 or in the first quarter of 2018.
 
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased 2.1% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 as a result of in-place leases associated with previously acquired properties that became fully amortized subsequent to March 31, 2017, partially offset by property acquisitions that occurred subsequent to March 31, 2017.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 remained largely consistent compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017.
 
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased slightly compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017. The costs incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2018 were primarily related to a potential acquisition that was abandoned.

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased 59.7% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to higher notes receivable balances, including the North Decatur Square mezzanine loan originated in May 2017 and the Delray Plaza mezzanine loan originated in October 2017.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased 3.6% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily as a result of refinancing activities that lowered the interest rates on certain loans. 

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we recognized a gain of $3.4 million on our sale of the Greentree Wawa outparcel.

The change in fair value of interest rate derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased by $0.7 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to significant changes in forward LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate). 

Income tax benefit and provision that we recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, were attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview
 
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects 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 net proceeds from the sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program"), which is discussed below.
 
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements 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, 2018, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $15.8 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development activities. We also had restricted cash of $3.5 million available for property improvements and required maintenance. As of March 31, 2018, we had $39.9 million of available borrowings under our credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $112.6 million of available borrowings under our construction loans to fund our development projects.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we began to address the five loans originally scheduled to mature during 2018. Both of the Columbus Village loans were paid off, and the Sandbridge Commons loan was extended for five years.
 
ATM Program

On February 26, 2018, we commenced our ATM Program through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $125.0 million. We did not issue or sell any shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During April 2018, we issued and sold an aggregate of 31,468 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $13.79 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $0.4 million.

Credit Facility
 
On October 26, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “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 a syndicate of banks. The credit facility replaced 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. On March 28, 2018, our Operating Partnership increased the maximum commitments of the credit facility to $330.0 million using the accordion feature, with an increase of the term loan facility to $180.0 million. 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);

The credit facility limits our ability to pay cash dividends. However, so long as no default or event of default exists, the credit agreement allows us to pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period in an amount not to exceed the greater of: (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the amount required for us (a) to maintain our status as a REIT and (b) to avoid income or excise tax under the Code. If certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period to the extent necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. The credit facility also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts the amount of stock and 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 agreement.

(1)    Does not reflect the effect of any maturity extension options.

On January 22, 2018, we extended the maturity date of our Sandbridge Commons mortgage. The loan bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.75% and will mature on January 17, 2023.

On March 27, 2018, we paid off Columbus Village Note 1 and Columbus Village Note 2 in full for an aggregate amount of $8.3 million.

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 March 7, 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into a LIBOR interest rate cap agreement on a notional amount of $50.0 million at a strike rate of 2.25% for a premium of $0.3 million. The interest rate cap expires on April 1, 2020.

On April 23, 2018, we entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap attributable to one-month LIBOR indexed interest payments with a notional amount of $50.0 million. The interest rate swap has a fixed rate of 2.783%, an effective date of May 1, 2018, and a maturity date of May 1, 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have entered into standby letters of credit using the available capacity under the credit facility. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event we do not perform. As of March 31, 2018, we had aggregate outstanding standby letters of credit totaling $2.1 million that expire during 2018. However, any of our standby letters of credit may be renewed for additional periods until completion of the related construction contracts. The amounts outstanding at March 31, 2018 were comprised of a $2.1 million letter of credit related to the guarantee on the Point Street Apartments senior construction loan.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 decreased 28.4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily as a result of timing differences in operating assets and liabilities.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we invested $56.4 million more in cash compared to the three months ended March 31, 2017 due to increased development activity and the acquisition of two operating properties.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2018 increased to $60.2 million compared to $6.5 million used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily as a result of increased borrowings under 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 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.

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, 2017.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted the new accounting standard codified in Accounting Standards Codification 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognize general contracting revenues as a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For each construction contract, we identify the performance obligations, which typically include the delivery of a single building constructed according to the specifications of the contract. We estimate the total transaction price, which generally includes a fixed contract price and may also include variable components such as early completion bonuses, liquidated damages, or cost savings to be shared with the customer. Variable components of the contract price are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. We recognize the estimated transaction price as revenue as we satisfy our performance obligations; we estimate our progress in satisfying performance obligations for each contract using the percentage-of-completion method, based on the proportion of incurred costs to total estimated construction costs at completion. Construction contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, subcontract costs, and overhead costs directly related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are all significant judgments that may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined. We defer pre-contract costs when such costs are directly associated with specific anticipated contracts and their recovery is probable.
 
We recognize real estate services revenues from property development and management as we satisfy our performance obligations under these service arrangements.

We assess whether multiple contracts with a single counterparty should be combined into a single contract for the revenue recognition purposes based on factors such as the timing of the negotiation and execution of the contracts and whether the economic substance of the contracts was contemplated separately or in tandem.

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, 2018, approximately $222.3 million, or 37.3%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $373.3 million, or 62.7%, had variable interest rates. At March 31, 2018, LIBOR was approximately 188 basis points. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points, our cash flow would decrease by less than $0.1 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 $2.3 million per year.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2018, 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, 2018, 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
