Refer to Note 5 for information related to the Company's recent acquisitions and dispositions of operating properties.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any interests in variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current, and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Leases

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets (ASU 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842)). The new standard also makes targeted changes to lessor accounting. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach for all leases

Table of Contents

existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented as permitted in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842.

In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed the Company to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and not reassess initial direct costs for existing leases. As of January 1, 2019, Company did not have any leases classified as finance leases. The Company also elected a practical expedient that allowed it to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each lease and non-lease component as a single lease component. The adoption of the new standard as of January 1, 2019 did not impact the Company's consolidated results of operations and had no impact on cash flows.

As a lessee, the Company had six ground leases on five properties as of January 1, 2019 with initial terms that range from 20 to 65 years and options to extend up to an additional 70 years in certain cases. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company recognizes lease expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The long-term ground leases represent a majority of the Company's current operating lease payments. The Company recorded right-of-use assets totaling $32.2 million and lease liabilities totaling $41.4 million upon adopting this standard on January 1, 2019. The Company utilized a weighted average discount rate of 5.4% to measure its lease liabilities upon adoption.

As a lessor, the Company leases its properties under operating leases and recognizes base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also recognizes revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse the Company on an accrual basis for certain expenses such as utilities, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance, security and alarms, parking lot and ground maintenance, administrative services, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. Rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. In addition, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. Many tenant leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 15 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the tenant's sole discretion. The Company includes a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably assured.

The new standard includes new considerations regarding the recognition of rental revenue when collection is not probable. The Company changed its presentation and measurement of charges for uncollectable lease revenue associated with its office, retail, and residential leasing activity, reflecting those amounts as a component of rental income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. However, in accordance with its prospective adoption of the standard, the Company did not adjust the prior year period presentation of charges for uncollectable lease revenue associated with its office, retail, and residential leasing activity as a component of operating expenses, excluding property taxes, on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Instead, the Company recorded a combined adjustment of $0.2 million to the opening balances for distributions in excess of earnings and noncontrolling interest relating to receivables where collection of substantially all operating lease payments was not probable as of January 1, 2019.

Lease-related receivables, which include contractual amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants and accrued straight-line rents receivable, are reduced for credit losses. Such amounts are recognized as a reduction to real estate rental revenues. The Company evaluates the collectability of lease receivables using several factors, including a lessee’s creditworthiness. The Company recognizes a credit loss on lease-related receivables when, in the opinion of management, collection of substantially all lease payments is not probable. When collectability is determined not probable, any lease income subsequent to recognizing the credit loss is limited to the lesser of the lease income reflected on a straight-line basis or cash collected.

Credit losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326). ASU 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income.  The guidance will replace the "incurred loss" approach under existing guidance with an "expected loss" model for instruments measured at

Table of Contents

amortized cost, such as our notes receivable. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be adopted through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-13 will have on the consolidated financial statements, the Company expects that the adoption could result in earlier recognition of a provision for loan losses on its notes receivable.

Other Accounting Policies

See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a description of other accounting principles upon which basis the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared.

3. Segments
 
Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. Net operating income is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, net operating income should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate net operating income in the same manner. The Company considers net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate and construction businesses.

Net operating income of the Company’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was as follows (in thousands):

Property Acquisitions
 
On February 6, 2019, the Company acquired an additional outparcel phase of Wendover Village in Greensboro, North Carolina for a contract price of $2.7 million plus capitalized acquisition costs of $0.1 million. This phase is leased by a single tenant.

On March 14, 2019, the Company acquired the office and retail portions of the One City Center project in exchange for a redemption of its 37% equity ownership in the joint venture with Austin Lawrence Partners, which totaled $23.0 million as of the acquisition date, and a cash payment of $23.2 million. The Company also incurred capitalized acquisition costs of $0.1 million.

On April 24, 2019, the Company exercised its option to purchase 79% of the interests in the partnership that owns 1405 Point in exchange for extinguishing the Company's $31.3 million note receivable on the project, making a cash payment of $0.3 million, and assuming a loan payable of $64.9 million, which was recorded at its fair value of $65.8 million. The Company also incurred capitalized acquisition costs of $0.1 million.

On May 23, 2019, the Company acquired Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop from Venture Realty Group for consideration comprised of 4.1 million Class A Units (as defined in Note 11), the assumption of $35.7 million of mortgage debt principal, and $4.5 million in cash. The negotiated price was $105.0 million, which contemplated the price of the Company's common stock of $15.55 per share when the purchase and sale agreement was executed. The aggregate acquisition cost was $109.3 million, which consisted of 4.1 million Class A Units valued at $68.1 million (using the price of the Company's common stock of $16.50 on the date of the acquisition), mortgage debt valued at $35.6 million, cash consideration of $4.5 million, and capitalized acquisition costs of $1.1 million. In connection with the acquisition, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a tax protection agreement with the contributors pursuant to which the Company and the Operating Partnership agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify the contributors for up to 10 years against certain tax liabilities incurred by them, if such liabilities result from a transaction involving a direct or indirect taxable disposition of either or both of these properties or if the Operating Partnership fails to maintain and allocate to the contributors for taxation purposes minimum levels of Operating Partnership liabilities.

On June 26, 2019, the Company acquired Thames Street Wharf, a class A office building located in the Harbor Point development of Baltimore, Maryland, for $101.0 million in cash and $0.3 million of capitalized acquisition costs.

6. Equity Method Investment

One City Center

On February 25, 2016, the Company acquired a 37% interest in One City Center, a joint venture with Austin Lawrence Partners, for purposes of developing a 22-story mixed use tower in Durham, North Carolina. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company invested an additional $0.5 million in One City Center.
 
For the period from January 1, 2019 to March 13, 2019, One City Center had operating income of $0.3 million allocated to the Company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, One City Center had no operating activity, and therefore the Company received no allocated income. 
 
On March 14, 2019, the Company acquired the office and retail portions of the One City Center project in exchange for its 37% equity ownership in the joint venture and a cash payment of $23.2 million. See Note 5 for additional discussion.

________________________________________
(a) Includes amortization of the $5.0 million loan modification fee paid by the borrower in November 2018.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there was no allowance for loan losses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there was no provision for loan losses recorded for any of the Company's notes receivable. The Company's management performs a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio to determine if an impairment has occurred based on the progress of development activities including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected mezzanine and senior construction loan balances.

Delray Plaza

On January 8, 2019, the Delray Plaza loan was modified to increase the maximum amount of the loan to $15.0 million and

14


Table of Contents

increase the payment guarantee amount to $5.2 million.

Nexton Square

On February 8, 2019, the developer of Nexton Square closed on a senior construction loan with a maximum borrowing capacity of $25.2 million. The developer used proceeds from its original draw in part to repay $2.1 million of the mezzanine loan. Upon the closing of this senior construction loan, the Company entered into a payment guarantee for $12.6 million of the senior loan.

1405 Point

On April 24, 2019, the Company exercised its option to purchase 79% of the interests in the partnership that owns 1405 Point in exchange for extinguishing its note receivable on the project and a cash payment of $0.3 million. The project is subject to a loan payable of $64.9 million. The Company has also guaranteed payment on a portion of the loan payable. See Note 15 for additional information.

Interlock Commercial

On April 19, 2019, the borrower executed its senior construction loan, and the Company's payment guarantee of up to $30.7 million became effective. See Note 15 for additional information.

Annapolis Junction

The Annapolis Junction loan was originated inclusive of options for the Company to purchase up to 88% of the related development project from the developer, Annapolis Junction Apartments Owner, LLC (“AJAO”). On November 16, 2018, AJAO refinanced the senior construction loan with a one year senior loan of $83.0 million. This senior loan may be extended for one additional year if certain minimum debt yields and minimum debt service coverage ratios are met by AJAO. Concurrent with the refinancing of the senior construction loan, the Company agreed to modify the mezzanine loan receivable with AJAO as follows:

The Company agreed to guarantee $8.3 million of the new senior loan;
The Company agreed to extend the maturity of the mezzanine loan, which will mature concurrently with the new senior loan;
The Company terminated its rights under the purchase options;
AJAO paid a fee of $5.0 million; and
AJAO paid down $11.1 million of the outstanding mezzanine loan balance, which was comprised of a $9.9 million payment of accrued interest and a $1.2 million payment of principal.

The fee of $5.0 million paid by AJAO is being accounted for as a loan discount that is being recognized as interest income over the remaining term of the loan using the effective interest method.

Subsequent to June 30, 2019

On July 22, 2019, the borrower paid off the North Decatur Square note receivable in full. The Company received the outstanding principal and interest in the amount of $20.0 million.

8. Construction Contracts

Construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned under contracts in progress as of the balance sheet date. Such amounts become billable according to contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones, or completion of the project. The Company expects to bill and collect substantially all construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings as of June 30, 2019 during the next twelve months.  
 
Billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings represent billings or collections on contracts made in advance of revenue recognized.

9. Indebtedness
 
Credit Facility
 
The Company has a senior credit facility that was modified on January 31, 2019 using the accordion feature to increase the maximum total commitments to $355.0 million, comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $205.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks.
 
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be further increased to $450.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 26, 2021, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 26, 2022.
 
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility was $122.0 million and $126.0 million, respectively, and the outstanding balance on the term loan facility was $205.0 million and $180.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 3.95% and 3.90%, 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.

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

(a) Designated as a cash flow hedge.

For those interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, unrealized losses of $3.5 million were recorded to other comprehensive loss, and less than $0.1 million of realized losses were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense due to payments made to the swap counterparty during the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, unrealized losses of $4.5 million were recorded to other comprehensive loss, and $0.1 million of realized losses were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense due to payments made to the swap counterparty. During the next 12 months, the Company anticipates reclassifying approximately $1.1 million of net hedging losses from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings to offset the variability of the hedged items during this period.

11. 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 six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,522,186 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $15.16 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $37.8 million.

On June 18, 2019, the Company issued 2,530,000 shares of its 6.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Series A Preferred Stock"), with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, which included 330,000 shares issued upon the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares. Net proceeds from the offering, after the underwriting discount but before offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $61.3 million. The Company used the net proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price of Thames Street Wharf, a 263,426 square foot office building located in the Harbor Point neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. The balance of the net proceeds was used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

In connection with the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, on June 18, 2019, the Operating Partnership issued to the Company 2,530,000 6.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (the "Series A Preferred Units"), which have economic terms that are identical to the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Units were issued in exchange for the Company’s contribution of the net proceeds from the offering of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Operating Partnership.

Table of Contents

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of each January, April, July and October. The first dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock will be paid on October 15, 2019 and will include $0.0609 per share that was accumulated and unpaid as of June 30, 2019. The Series A Preferred Stock does not have a stated maturity date and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series A Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Company's common stock with respect to the payment of distributions and other amounts. Except in instances relating to preservation of the Company's qualification as a REIT or pursuant to the Company’s special optional redemption right, the Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to June 18, 2024. On and after June 18, 2024, the Company may, at its option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole, at any time, or in part, from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock), the Company has a special optional redemption right that enables it to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part and within 120 days after the first date on which a change of control has occurred resulting in neither the Company nor the surviving entity having a class of common stock listed on the NYSE, NYSE American, or NASDAQ or the acquisition of beneficial ownership of its stock entitling a person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all our stock entitled to vote generally in election of directors. The special optional redemption price is $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders will have the right (unless the Company has elected to exercise its
special optional redemption right to redeem their Series A Preferred Stock) to convert some or all of such holder’s Series A
Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the lesser of:

the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid distributions to, but not including, the change of control conversion date (unless the change of control conversion date is after a record date for a Series A Preferred Stock distribution payment and prior to the corresponding Series A Preferred Stock distribution payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid distribution will be included in this sum) by (ii) the Common Stock Price (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock); and

2.97796 (i.e., the Share Cap), subject to certain adjustments;

subject, in each case, to certain adjustments and provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration of equivalent value as described in the articles supplementary designating the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Noncontrolling Interests
 
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company held a 71.4% and 74.5% common interest, respectively, in the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2019, the Company also held a preferred interest in the Operating Partnership in the form of preferred units with a liquidation preference of $63.3 million. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership as it has the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership and the rights to absorb 71.4% 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 Operating Partnership represent units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company. As of June 30, 2019, there were 21,177,692 Class A units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("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.

Additionally, the Operating Partnership owns a majority interest in certain non-wholly-owned operating and development properties. The noncontrolling interest for investment entities included $4.6 million related to the minority partner's interest in 1405 Point as of June 30, 2019. The noncontrolling interest for all other consolidated real estate entities was zero as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

On January 2, 2019, due to the holders of Class A Units tendering an aggregate of 118,471 Class A Units for redemption by the Operating Partnership, the Company elected to satisfy the redemption requests through the issuance of an equal number of shares of common stock.


21


Table of Contents

On May 23, 2019, the Operating Partnership issued 4,125,759 Class A Units valued at $68.1 million in connection with the acquisition of Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop.

On May 30, 2019, the Operating Partnership issued 60,000 Class A Units valued at $1.0 million in exchange for the remaining 35% ownership interest in Brooks Crossing Office, which was previously owned by Tidewater Partners.

Common Stock Dividends and Class A Unit Distributions
 
On January 3, 2019, the Company paid cash dividends of $10.0 million to common stockholders, and the Operating Partnership paid cash distributions of $3.4 million to holders of Class A Units.

On April 4, 2019, the Company paid cash dividends of $11.0 million to common stockholders, and the Operating Partnership paid cash distributions of $3.6 million to holders of Class A Units.

On May 7, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend and distribution of $0.21 per share and unit payable on July 3, 2019 to stockholders and unitholders of record on June 26, 2019.

Subsequent to June 30, 2019

On July 1, 2019, due to the holders of Class A Units tendering an aggregate of 125,118 Class A Units for redemption by the Operating Partnership, the Company elected to satisfy the redemption requests through the issuance of an equal number of shares of common stock.

On July 3, 2019, the Company paid cash dividends of $11.1 million to common stockholders, and the Operating Partnership paid cash distributions of $4.4 million to holders of Class A Units.

In July 2019, the Company sold an aggregate of 62,823 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $16.84 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $1.0 million.

12. Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Plan") permits the grant of restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 1,700,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2019, there were 895,257 shares available for issuance under the Equity Plan.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company granted an aggregate of 152,292 shares of restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted average grant date fair value of $15.39 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. Unvested restricted stock awards are entitled to receive dividends from their grant date.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, 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 six months ended June 30, 2019, 10,755 shares were issued with a grant date fair value of $15.42 per share due to the partial vesting of performance units awarded to certain employees in 2016.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation cost. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation cost. As of June 30, 2019, there were 144,426 nonvested restricted shares outstanding; the total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted shares was $1.5 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 21 months.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows: 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 
Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities 
Level 3 — unobservable inputs 
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest rate swaps and caps. The Company measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.

Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are not measured at fair value but for which the fair value is disclosed include the Company's notes receivable and indebtedness. The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
 
In certain cases, the inputs used to estimate the fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows (in thousands):

14. Related Party Transactions
 
The Company provides general contracting and real estate services to certain related party entities that are included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue from construction contracts with these entities for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $0.3 million, and gross profit from such contracts was $0.1 million. Revenue from construction contracts with related party entities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was $1.5 million, and gross profit from such contracts was $0.3 million. There was no such revenue or gross profit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Real estate services fees from affiliated entities of the Company were not significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018. In addition, affiliated entities also reimburse the Company for monthly maintenance and facilities management services provided to the properties. Cost reimbursements earned by the Company from affiliated entities were not significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018
 
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.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Legal Proceedings
 
The Company is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
 
The Company currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Management accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe 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.

In connection with the Company's mezzanine lending activities, the Company has made guarantees to pay portions of certain senior loans of third parties associated with the development projects. The following table summarizes the guarantees made by the Company as of June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event the Company does not perform. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Operating Partnership had total outstanding letters of credit of $0.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

References to "we," "our," "us," and "our company" refer to Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, including Armada Hoffler, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which we are the sole general partner. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
 
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 timelines, or at the anticipated costs; 
our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness; 
defaults on, early terminations of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants, including significant tenants; 
bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant or a substantial number of smaller tenants; 
the inability of one or more mezzanine loan borrowers to repay mezzanine loans in accordance with their contractual terms;
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 Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Acquisitions

On February 6, 2019, we acquired an additional outparcel phase of Wendover Village in Greensboro, North Carolina for a contract price of $2.7 million. This phase is leased by a single tenant.

On March 14, 2019, we acquired the office and retail portions of the One City Center project in exchange for a redemption of our 37% equity ownership in the joint venture with Austin Lawrence Partners, which totaled $23.0 million as of the acquisition date, and a cash payment of $23.2 million.

On April 24, 2019, we purchased a 79% controlling interest in the partnership that owns 1405 Point, a 17-story luxury high-rise apartment building located in the emerging Harbor Point area of the Baltimore waterfront in exchange for extinguishing our $31.3 million note receivable on the project, making a cash payment of $0.3 million, and assuming a loan payable of $64.9 million.

On May 23, 2019, we acquired Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop from Venture Realty Group for consideration comprised of 4.1 million Class A Units, the assumption of $35.7 million of mortgage debt, and $4.5 million in cash. The negotiated price was $105.0 million, which contemplated the price of our common stock of $15.55 per share when the purchase and sale agreement was executed. In connection with the acquisition, we and the Operating Partnership entered into a tax protection agreement with the contributors pursuant to which we and the Operating Partnership agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to indemnify the contributors for up to 10 years against certain tax liabilities incurred by them, if such liabilities result from a transaction involving a direct or indirect taxable disposition of either or both of these properties or if the Operating Partnership fails to maintain and allocate to the contributors for taxation purposes minimum levels of Operating Partnership liabilities.

On June 26, 2019, we acquired Thames Street Wharf, a Class A office building located in the Harbor Point development of Baltimore, Maryland, for $101.0 million in cash.
    
Dispositions

On April 1, 2019, we sold Waynesboro Commons for a sale price of $1.1 million. There was no gain or loss recognized on the disposition.

Second Quarter 2019 and Recent Highlights
 
The following highlights our results of operations and significant transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and other recent developments:
 
Net income attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders of $6.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $5.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2018

Funds from operations attributable to common stockholders and OP Unit holders ("FFO") of $19.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $15.1 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2018. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." 

Normalized funds from operations available to common stockholders and OP Unit holders ("Normalized FFO") of $21.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $15.2 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2018. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Exercised our purchase option to acquire a 79% controlling interest in 1405 Point, the 17-story luxury high-rise apartment building located in the Harbor Point area of the Baltimore waterfront, in exchange for the Company's mezzanine loan investment and the assumption of existing debt.

Completed the acquisitions of Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop in Virginia Beach, Virginia for aggregate consideration of $105.0 million, including $63.8 million in OP Units.

Completed the acquisition of Thames Street Wharf, a certified LEED Gold Class A trophy office building located on the waterfront in the Harbor Point development of Baltimore, Maryland, for $101.0 million.

Announced Southern Post, a new 240,000 square foot mixed-use development in historic downtown Roswell, Georgia. We will be the majority partner in a joint venture to develop the project and anticipates commencing construction in the first quarter of 2020. Estimated development and construction costs for the project are expected to total approximately $80 million.

Raised $61.3 million of net proceeds before offering expenses through an underwritten public offering of 2.53 million shares of 6.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share.

Raised $7.6 million of gross proceeds through our at-the-market equity offering program at an average price of $16.89 per share during the quarter ended June 30, 2019.

Segment Results of Operations
 
As of June 30, 2019, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, and (iv) general contracting and real estate services, which are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) ("NOI") is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of NOI to net income.
 
We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the occupancy criterion above is again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.

at Premier Retail (Part of Towncenter Phase IV) during the third quarter of 2018, increased occupancy at Lightfoot Marketplace during 2018, the commencement of operations at Market at Mill Creek, and the acquisition of Redmill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop in May 2019. These increases were partially offset by the disposition of the leasehold interest in the building previously leased by Home Depot at Broad Creek Shopping Center in December 2018 as well as the disposition of Waynesboro Commons in April 2019.

Dicks Sporting Goods, one of the anchor tenants at the property currently known as “Dick’s at Town Center”, has notified us that it will not renew its lease beyond January 31, 2020, the end of the current term. We are actively evaluating alternate uses and users of the space that the tenant currently occupies.

Office rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 39.6% and 24.5%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018, primarily as a result of the acquisition of One City Center in March 2019, the commencement of operations at Brooks Crossing Office in April 2019, and the acquisition of Thames Street Wharf in June 2019, as well as increased occupancy across the rest of the office portfolio
 
Retail rental revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 15.8% and 9.5%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018, primarily as a result of the acquisition of the additional outparcel phase of Wendover Village in February 2019, the three property acquisitions completed during 2018, the commencement of operations at Premier Retail (Part of Towncenter Phase IV) during the third quarter of 2018, increased occupancy at Lightfoot Marketplace during 2018, the commencement of operations at Market at Mill Creek, and the acquisition of Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop in May 2019. These increases were partially offset by the disposition of the leasehold interest in the building previously leased by Home Depot at Broad Creek Shopping Center in December 2018 as well as the disposition of Waynesboro Commons in April 2019.

Office real estate taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 30.1% and 17.4%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 primarily due to the acquisition of One City Center in March 2019, the commencement of operations at Brooks Crossing Office in April 2019, and the acquisition of Thames Street Wharf in June 2019.

Retail real estate taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 14.3% and 10.9%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 primarily due to the acquisition of Lexington Square in the third quarter of 2018, the commencement of operations at Premier Retail (Part of Town Center Phase IV) during the third quarter of 2018, the commencement of operations at Market at Mill Creek in April 2019, and the acquisition of Red Mill Commons and Marketplace at Hilltop in May 2019. These increases were partially offset by the disposition of the leasehold interest in the building previously leased by Home Depot at Broad Creek Shopping Center in December 2018 as well as the disposition of Waynesboro Commons in April 2019.

Multifamily real estate taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 56.8% and 40.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 as a result of the commencement of operations at Greenside and Premier Apartments (Part of Town Center Phase IV) during the third quarter of 2018 and the acquisition of 1405 Point in April 2019.

General contracting and real estate services expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 0.2% and decreased 14.3%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 due to the timing of commencement of new projects and the completion of other projects.

Depreciation and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 46.8% and 26.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 as a result of development properties placed in service and acquisitions of operating properties.
 
General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 6.8% and 11.0%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 as a result of higher compensation expense and benefit costs from increased employee headcount.
 
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $0.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily due to the write off of costs relating to a potential development project that was abandoned during the six months ended June 30, 2019. There were no significant write-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Impairment charges of $0.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 relate to tenants that vacated prior to their lease expiration.

Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 135.5% and 136.9%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 due to higher notes receivable balances due to the increased loan funding.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 increased 69.1% and 52.1%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 primarily due to the increase in net indebtedness through increased borrowings on the corporate credit facility, the increased number of construction loans, and additional borrowings on the property loans.

The change in fair value of interest rate derivatives for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 experienced significant decreases compared to the corresponding periods in 2018 due to significant changes in forward LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate).

Other income did not change significantly from period to period.

Income tax benefit that we recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Overview
 
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans, borrowings available under our credit facility, and net proceeds from the sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program"), which is discussed below.
 
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, capital improvements, and mezzanine loan funding requirements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
 
As of June 30, 2019, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $23.1 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development activities. We also had restricted cash in escrow of $2.9 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures at our operating properties. As of June 30, 2019, we had $27.7 million available under our credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $104.3 million available under our construction loans to fund development activities.

We have no loans scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2019.
 
ATM Program

On February 26, 2018, we commenced our ATM Program through which we are able to, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $125.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we issued and sold an aggregate of 2,522,186 shares of common stock at an average price of $15.16 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $37.8 million. As of July 31, 2019, we had $19.3 million in remaining availability under the 2018 ATM Program.

Series A Preferred Stock Offering    

On June 18, 2019, the Company issued 2,530,000 shares of its 6.75% Series A Preferred Stock with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, which included 330,000 shares issued upon the underwriters’ full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares. Net proceeds from the offering, after the underwriting discount but before offering expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $61.3 million. The Company used the net proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price of Thames Street Wharf, a 263,426 square foot office building located in the Harbor Point neighborhood of

Table of Contents

Baltimore, Maryland. The balance of the net proceeds was used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Credit Facility

We have a senior credit facility that was modified on January 31, 2019 to increase the maximum total commitments to $355.0 million, comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $205.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility), with a syndicate of banks. We intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital.

The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be further increased to $450.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 26, 2021, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of October 26, 2022.

The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.40% to 2.00% and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.35% to 1.95%, in each case depending on our total leverage. We are also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the credit facility. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from S&P and Moody’s, we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on our credit ratings.

The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.

The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:

Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition that is equal to or greater than 10% of our total asset value (as defined in the credit agreement), but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of 75% of tangible net worth (as defined in the credit agreement) as of September 30, 2017 and 75% of the net equity proceeds received after June 30, 2017;
Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 40%;
Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 20%;
Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition that is equal to or greater than 10% of our total asset value, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
Ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in the credit agreement) to all unsecured debt of not less than 12%;
Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than $300.0 million at any time; and
Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the credit agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.

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


37


Table of Contents

We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.

The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.

We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $16.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 primarily as a result of timing differences in operating assets and liabilities as well as increased net operating income from the property portfolio.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we invested $143.5 million more in cash compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 due to increased acquisition activity.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $136.0 million compared to six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily as a result of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock and the loan obtained for Thames Street Wharf.
 
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), impairment of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
 
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
 
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our

41


Table of Contents

results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculation of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our year-over-year performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items.
 
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

(1) The adjustment for depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes $0.2 million of depreciation attributable to the Company's investment in One City Center from January 1, 2019 to March 14, 2019, which was an unconsolidated real estate investment during this period. Additionally, the adjustment for depreciation and amortization for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 excludes $0.4 million of depreciation attributable to the Company's joint venture partner at 1405 Point.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon then-currently available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We discuss the accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to understanding our reported financial results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") that requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-

42


Table of Contents

use assets (ASU 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842)). The new standard also makes targeted changes to lessor accounting. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented as permitted in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842.

In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and not reassess initial direct costs for existing leases. As of January 1, 2019, we did not have any leases classified as finance leases. We also elected a practical expedient that allowed us to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead to account for each lease and non-lease component as a single lease component. The adoption of the new standard as of January 1, 2019 did not impact our consolidated results of operations and had no impact on cash flows.

As a lessee we had six ground leases on five properties as of January 1, 2019 with initial terms that range from 20 to 65 years and options to extend up to an additional 70 years in certain cases. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The long-term ground leases, represent a majority of our current operating lease payments. We recorded right-of-use assets totaling $32.2 million and lease liabilities totaling $41.4 million upon adopting this standard on January 1, 2019. We utilized a weighted average discount rate of 5.4% to measure our lease liabilities upon adoption.

As a lessor we lease our properties under operating leases and recognize base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also recognize revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us on an accrual basis for certain expenses such as utilities, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance, security and alarms, parking lot and ground maintenance, administrative services, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. Rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. In addition, we recognize contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. Many tenant leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 15 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the tenant's sole discretion. We include a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably assured.

The new standard includes new considerations regarding the recognition of rental revenue when collection is not probable. We changed our presentation and measurement of charges for uncollectable lease revenue associated with office, retail, and residential leasing activity, reflecting those amounts as a component of rental income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. However, in accordance with our prospective adoption of the standard, we did not adjust the prior year period presentation of charges for uncollectable lease revenue associated with its office, retail, and residential leasing activity as a component of operating expenses, excluding property taxes, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Instead, we recorded a combined adjustment of $0.2 million to the opening balances for distributions in excess of earnings and noncontrolling interest relating to receivables where collection of substantially all operating lease payments was not probable as of January 1, 2019.

Lease-related receivables, which include contractual amounts accrued and unpaid from tenants and accrued straight-line rents receivable, are reduced for credit losses. Such amounts are recognized as a reduction to real estate rental revenues. We evaluate the collectability of lease receivables using several factors, including a lessee’s creditworthiness. We recognize a credit loss on lease-related receivables when, in the opinion of management, collection of substantially all lease payments is not probable. When collectability is determined not probable, any lease income subsequent to recognizing the credit loss is limited to the lesser of the lease income reflected on a straight-line basis or cash collected.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On a limited basis, we also use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. We do not use these derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes.

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2019 and excluding unamortized GAAP adjustments, approximately $457.4 million, or 47.8%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $498.7 million, or 52.2%, had variable interest rates. At June 30, 2019, LIBOR was approximately 240 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 $1.3 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 $3.6 million per year.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of June 30, 2019, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act: (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 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
 
Except as set forth below, 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, 2018
Risks Related to Our Series A Preferred Stock

Our Series A Preferred Stock is subordinate to our existing and future debt, and the interests of holders of our Series A Preferred Stock could be diluted by the issuance of additional shares of preferred stock and by other transactions.

Our Series A Preferred Stock ranks junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness, any classes and series of our capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and other non-equity claims on us and our assets available to satisfy claims against us, including claims in bankruptcy, liquidation or similar proceedings. Our existing debt includes restrictions on our ability to pay dividends to preferred stockholders, and our other existing or future debt may include similar restrictions. Subject to limitations prescribed by Maryland law and our charter, our Board of Directors is authorized to issue, from our authorized but unissued shares of capital stock, preferred stock in such classes or series as our Board of Directors may determine and to establish from time to time the number of shares of preferred stock to be included in any such class or series. The issuance of additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or additional shares of capital stock ranking on parity with our Series A Preferred Stock would dilute the interests of the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, and the issuance of shares of any class or series of our capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up or the incurrence of additional indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to pay dividends on, redeem or pay the liquidation preference on our Series A Preferred Stock. Other than the conversion right afforded to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock that may become exercisable in connection with a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock), none of the provisions relating to our Series A Preferred Stock contain any terms relating to or limiting our indebtedness or affording the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock protection in the event of a highly leveraged or other transaction, including a merger or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all our assets, that might adversely affect the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, so long as the rights of the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are not materially and adversely affected.

Our Series A Preferred Stock has not been rated.

We have not sought to obtain a rating for our Series A Preferred Stock. No assurance can be given, however, that one or more rating agencies might not independently determine to issue such a rating or that such a rating, if issued, would not adversely affect the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, we may elect in the future to obtain a rating of our Series A Preferred Stock, which could adversely impact the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock. Ratings only reflect the views of the rating agency or agencies issuing the ratings and such ratings could be revised downward or withdrawn entirely at the discretion of the issuing rating agency if in its judgment circumstances so warrant. Any such downward revision or withdrawal of a rating could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock.

Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have extremely limited voting rights.

Our common stock is the only class of our securities that carry full voting rights. Voting rights for holders of our Series A Preferred Stock exist primarily with respect to the ability to elect, together with holders of our capital stock ranking on parity with our Series A Preferred Stock and having similar voting rights, two additional directors to our Board of Directors in the event that six quarterly dividends (whether or not consecutive) payable on our Series A Preferred Stock are in arrears, and with respect to voting on amendments to our charter or articles supplementary relating to our Series A Preferred Stock that materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of our Series A Preferred Stock or create additional classes or series of

45


Table of Contents

our capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Other than as described above and as set forth in more detail in the articles supplementary designating the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will not have any voting rights.

Our cash available for dividends may not be sufficient to pay dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock at expected levels, and we cannot assure you of our ability to pay dividends in the future. We may use borrowed funds or funds from other sources to pay dividends, which may materially and adversely impact our operations.

We intend to pay regular quarterly dividends to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock. Dividends declared by us will be authorized by our Board of Directors in its sole discretion out of assets legally available for distribution and will depend upon a number of factors, including our earnings, our financial condition, the requirements for qualification as a REIT, restrictions under applicable law, our need to comply with the terms of our existing financing arrangements, the capital requirements of our company and other factors as our Board of Directors may deem relevant from time to time. We may be required to fund dividends from working capital, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, proceeds from offerings of securities or a sale of assets to the extent distributions exceed earnings or cash flows from operations. Funding dividends from working capital would restrict our operations. If we borrow from our revolving credit facility in order to pay dividends, we would be more limited in our ability to execute our strategy of using that revolving credit facility to fund acquisitions or capital improvements. If we are required to sell assets to fund dividends, such asset sales may occur at a time or in a manner that is not consistent with our disposition strategy. If we borrow to fund dividends, our leverage ratios and future interest costs would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been. We may not be able to pay dividends in the future. In addition, some of our distributions may be considered a return of capital for income tax purposes. If we decide to make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in their shares. A return of capital is not taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder's adjusted tax basis in its investment. If distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a holder’s shares, they will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such stock.

Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock may not be permitted to exercise conversion rights upon a change of control. If exercisable, the change of control conversion feature of our Series A Preferred Stock may not adequately compensate preferred stockholders, and the change of control conversion and redemption features of our Series A Preferred Stock may make it more difficult for a party to take over our company or discourage a party from taking over our company

Upon the occurrence of a change of control (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock), holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to convert some or all of their Series A Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock (or equivalent value of alternative consideration). Notwithstanding that we generally may not redeem our Series A Preferred Stock prior to June 18, 2024, we have a special optional redemption right to redeem our Series A Preferred Stock in the event of a change of control, and holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will not have the right to convert any shares of our Series A Preferred Stock that we have elected to redeem prior to the change of control conversion date. Upon such a conversion, the holders will be limited to a maximum number of shares of our common stock equal to the 2.97796 (i.e. the "Share Cap"), subject to certain adjustments, multiplied by the number of our Series A Preferred Stock converted. If the Common Stock Price (as defined in the articles supplementary designating the terms of our Series A Preferred Stock) is less than $8.395 (which is approximately 50% of the per-share closing sale price of our common stock on June 10, 2019), subject to adjustment, each holder will receive a maximum of 2.97796 shares of our common stock per share of our Series A Preferred Stock, which may result in a holder receiving value that is less than the liquidation preference of our Series A Preferred Stock. In addition, those features of our Series A Preferred Stock may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition proposal for our company or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of our company under circumstances that otherwise could provide the holders of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-current market price or that stockholders may otherwise believe is in their best interests.

Listing on the NYSE does not guarantee that a market for our Series A Preferred Stock will be maintained.

There is no guarantee our Series A Preferred Stock will remain listed on the NYSE or any other nationally recognized exchange. If our Series A Preferred Stock is delisted from the NYSE or another nationally recognized exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

a limited availability of market quotations for our Series A Preferred Stock;
reduced liquidity with respect to our Series A Preferred Stock;

46


Table of Contents


a determination that our Series A Preferred Stock is “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our Series A Preferred Stock to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our Series A Preferred Stock; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

Moreover, an active trading market on the NYSE for our Series A Preferred Stock may not develop or, if it does develop, may not be sustained, in which case the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock could be materially and adversely affected.

The market price and trading volume of our Series A Preferred Stock may fluctuate significantly and be volatile due to numerous circumstances beyond our control.

If an active trading market does develop for our Series A Preferred Stock on the NYSE, our Series A Preferred Stock may trade at prices lower than the price of which holders of our Series A Preferred Stock purchased such shares, and the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock would depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

prevailing interest rates;

the market for similar securities;

general economic and financial market conditions;

our issuance, as well as the issuance by our subsidiaries, of additional preferred equity or debt securities; and

our financial condition, cash flows, liquidity, results of operations, funds from operations and prospects.

The trading prices of common and preferred equity securities issued by REITs and other real estate companies historically have been affected by changes in market interest rates. One of the factors that may influence the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock is the annual yield from distributions on our Series A Preferred Stock as compared to yields on other financial instruments. An increase in market interest rates may lead holders of our Series A Preferred Stock to demand a higher annual yield and to sell shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which could reduce the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock.

Future offerings of debt securities or shares of our capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up may adversely affect the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock.
    
If we decide to issue debt securities or shares of our capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up in the future, it is possible that these securities will be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable debt securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our Series A Preferred Stock and may result in dilution to owners of our Series A Preferred Stock. We and, indirectly, our stockholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt securities or shares of our capital stock expressly designated as ranking senior to our Series A Preferred Stock as to distribution rights and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Accordingly, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our Series A Preferred Stock and diluting the value of their share holdings in us.

The phase-out of LIBOR and transition to SOFR as a benchmark interest rate could have adverse effects. 

The interest rate on our variable rate debt is based on LIBOR. In 2018, the Alternative Reference Rate Committee identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the alternative to LIBOR. SOFR is a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. By the end of 2021, it is expected that no new contracts will reference LIBOR and will instead use SOFR. Due to the broad use of LIBOR as a reference rate, all financial market participants, including us, are impacted by the risks associated with this transition and, therefore, it could adversely affect our operations and cash flows.
