Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DTLA Holdings”, and together with its affiliates excluding the Company and its subsidiaries, the “Manager”). DTLA Holdings is an indirect partially-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Property Partners L.P., an exempted limited partnership under the Laws of Bermuda (“BPY”), which in turn is the flagship commercial property entity and the primary vehicle through which Brookfield Asset Management Inc., a corporation under the Laws of Canada (“BAM”) invests in real estate on a global basis.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Brookfield DTLA owned BOA Plaza, EY Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, which are Class A office properties, and Figat7th, a retail center nested between EY Plaza and 777 Tower, all of which are located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”).

On May 31, 2019, Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“New OP”), entered into an agreement to contribute and transfer all of its wholly-owned interests in Brookfield DTLA 4050/755 Inc. (the “Property Owner”), the indirect property owner of 755 South Figueroa, a residential development property, in exchange for noncontrolling interests in a newly formed joint venture. See Note 4 “Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Venture.”

Brookfield DTLA receives its income primarily from lease income generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, income from its parking garages.

Note 2Basis of Presentation

As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Brookfield DTLA,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only those of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and interim results of Brookfield DTLA as of and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from Brookfield DTLA’s audited financial statements; however, the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2019.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to fair values of assets and liabilities for purposes of applying the acquisition method of accounting, the useful lives of assets, recoverable amounts of receivables, impairment of long-lived assets and the fair value of debt. Actual results could ultimately differ from such estimates.

Reclassifications

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company reclassified asset management fees earned by the Manager from rental property operating and maintenance expense to other expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Management does not include asset management fees as an input when evaluating the operating performance of Brookfield DTLA’s properties and created a new category within other expense during 2018 to capture such fees. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported rental property operating and maintenance expense totaling $24.6 million and $47.9 million and other expense totaling $2.7 million and $3.3 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. After the reclassifications, rental property operating and maintenance expense now totals $23.0 million and $44.7 million and other expense now totals $4.3 million and $6.5 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. This reclassification had no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any year.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company also reclassified lease termination fees from interest and other revenue to lease income in the consolidated statement of operations in anticipation of adopting Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company reported interest and other revenue totaling $12.0 million and $14.9 million and rental income totaling $38.9 million and $79.9 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. After the reclassifications, interest and other revenue now totals $11.2 million and $13.4 million and rental income now totals $39.7 million and $81.4 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. See Note 3 “Leases” for reconciliation of lease income reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 in the current year’s condensed consolidated statement of operations after the adoption of ASC Topic 842. This reclassification had no effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any year.

Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2020

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, to amend the accounting for credit losses for certain financial instruments. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. In November 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. This amendment clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Subtopic 842-30, Leases—Lessor. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), and made changes to its conceptual framework, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting-Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, that are intended to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in notes to financial statements. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements required by Topic 820. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities, which amends two aspects of the related-party guidance in Topic 810. Specifically, ASU 2018-17 (1) adds an elective private company scope exception to the variable interest entity guidance for entities under common control and (2) removes a sentence in ASC 810-10-55-37D regarding the evaluation of fees paid to decision makers to conform with the amendments in ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control (issued in October 2016). ASU 2018-17 is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Leases

Brookfield DTLA’s properties are leased to tenants under operating leases. The Company adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method. Information in this Note 3 with respect to our leases and lease-related costs and receivables is presented under Topic 842 as of June 30, 2019 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Topic 842 sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The primary impact of Topic 842 is the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for leases classified as operating leases. The accounting applied by lessors is largely unchanged. As of January 1, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Company had no material ground leases or finance leases where the Company was a lessee and therefore did not record any right‑of-use asset or liability in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2019.

On the date of adoption, Brookfield DTLA elected the package of practical expedients provided for in Topic 842, including:

No reassessment of whether any expired or existing contracts were or contained leases;

No reassessment of the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and

No reassessment of initial direct costs for any existing leases.

The package of practical expedients was made as a single election and was consistently applied to all existing leases as of January 1, 2019. The Company also elected the practical expedient provided to lessors in a subsequent amendment to Topic 842 that removed the requirement to separate lease and nonlease components, provided certain conditions were met.

Brookfield DTLA leases its office properties to lessees in exchange for payments from tenants comprised of monthly payments that cover rent, property taxes, insurance and certain cost recoveries. Payments from tenants for reimbursement are considered nonlease components that are separated from lease components and are generally accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition standard. However, the Company qualified for and elected the practical expedient related to combining the components because the lease component is classified as an operating lease and the timing and pattern of transfer of tenant reimbursements, which is not the predominant component, is the same as the lease component. As such, consideration for tenant reimbursements is accounted for as part of the overall consideration in the lease. Lease income related to variable payments includes fixed and contingent rental payments and tenant recoveries. Tenant recoveries, including reimbursements of utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, real estate taxes and insurance, and other operating expenses, are recognized as part of lease income in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred and the tenant’s obligation to reimburse us arises. Such payments from customers are considered nonlease components of the lease and therefore no consideration is allocated to them because they do not transfer a

good or service to the customer. Fixed contractual payments from the Company’s leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. This means that, with respect to a particular lease, actual amounts billed in accordance with the lease during any given period may be higher or lower than the amount of lease income recognized during the period. Straight-line rental revenue is commenced when the customer assumes control of the leased premises. Deferred rent receivables represent the amount by which straight-line rental revenue exceeds rents currently billed in accordance with lease agreements.

Short-term parking revenues do not qualify for the single lease component practical expedient, discussed above, due to the difference in the timing and pattern of transfer of the Company’s parking service obligations and associated lease components within the same lease agreement. The Company recognizes short-term parking revenues in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard, ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when the services are provided and the performance obligations are satisfied, which normally occurs at a point in time.

Some of the Company’s leases have termination and/or extension options. Termination options allow the tenant to terminate the lease prior to the end of the lease term under certain circumstances. Termination options generally become effective half way or further into the original lease term and require advance notification from the tenant and payment of a termination fee that reimburses the Company for a portion of the remaining rent under the original lease term and the undepreciated lease inception costs such as commissions, tenant improvements and lease incentives. Termination fees are recognized at the later of when the tenant has vacated the space or the lease has expired, and a fully executed lease termination agreement has been delivered, the amount of the fee is determinable and collectability of the fee is reasonably assured.

Rents, deferred rents and other receivables, net also includes amounts paid to a tenant for improvements owned or costs incurred by the tenant. Such amounts are treated as tenant inducements and are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated amortization. Amortization of tenant inducements is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease as a reduction of lease income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The new standard also requires the Company to reduce its lease income for credit losses associated with lease receivables. In addition, straight-line rent receivables are written off when the Company believes there is uncertainty regarding a tenant’s ability to complete the term of the lease.

Topic 842 requires lessors to capitalize and amortize only incremental direct leasing costs. All leasing commissions paid in connection with new leases or lease renewals are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the initial fixed terms of the respective leases as part of depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Initial direct costs, primarily commissions, related to the leasing of our office properties are deferred and are presented as deferred charges in the condensed consolidated balance sheet net of accumulated amortization totaling $55.9 million and $50.3 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Beginning January 1, 2019, any costs incurred by the Company to negotiate or arrange a lease regardless of its outcome, such as fixed employee compensation, tax or legal advice to negotiate lease terms, and lessor costs related to advertising or soliciting potential tenants are required to be expensed as incurred. During six months ended June 30, 2019, Brookfield DTLA had no indirect leasing costs that would have been capitalized prior to the adoption of Topic 842.

The election of the package of practical expedients described above permits the Company to continue to account for its leases that commenced before January 1, 2019 under the previous lease accounting guidance for the remainder of their lease terms, and to apply the new lease accounting guidance to leases commencing or modified after January 1, 2019. The Company recorded no net cumulative effect adjustment to the accumulated deficit in the condensed consolidated balance sheet on January 1, 2019 as a result of the adoption of this guidance as there were no indirect leasing costs that were required to be written off.

Reclassification of Prior Period Presentation of Rental Income and Tenant Reimbursements

As described above, rental income and tenant reimbursements related to our operating leases for which Brookfield DTLA is the lessor qualified for the single component practical expedient and are classified as lease income in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of Topic 842, the Company reported rental income and tenant reimbursements separately in the condensed consolidated statement of operations, in accordance with Topic 840. Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, the comparative statements of operations for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the new single component presentation of rental income and tenant reimbursements, classified within lease income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

As of June 30, 2019, Brookfield DTLA has six Class A office properties and one retail center aggregating 7.6 million net building rentable square feet located in the LACBD. We are susceptible to adverse developments in the markets for office space, particularly in Southern California. Such adverse developments could include oversupply of or reduced demand for office space; declines in property values; business layoffs, downsizings, relocations or industry slowdowns affecting tenants of the Company’s properties; changing demographics; increased telecommuting; terrorist targeting of or acts of war against high-rise structures; infrastructure quality; California state budgetary constraints and priorities; increases in real estate and other taxes; costs of complying with state, local and federal government regulations or increased regulation and other factors. None of our tenants accounted for more than 10% of our lease income for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, all of the leases in which the Company is the lessor are classified as operating leases. Our leases generally contain options to extend lease terms at prevailing market rates at the time of expiration. Certain leases with retail tenants also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rent based on a percentage of the tenant’s sales. Percentage rents are recognized only after the tenant sales thresholds have been achieved.

The amounts shown in the table above do not include percentage rents. The Company recorded percentage rents totaling $0.3 million as part of lease income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Brookfield DTLA’s lease income of $135.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily represents revenue related to agreements for rental of our investments in real estate, subject to Topic 842. The Company’s leases do not have guarantees of residual value of the underlying assets. We manage risk associated with the residual value of our leased assets by carefully selecting our tenants and monitoring their credit quality throughout their respective lease terms. Upon the expiration or termination of a lease, the Company often has the ability to re-lease the space with an existing tenant or to a new tenant within a reasonable amount of time.

Note 4—Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Venture

As described in Note 1 “Organization and Description of Business,” on May 31, 2019 New OP entered into an agreement to contribute and transfer all of its wholly-owned interests in the Property Owner in exchange for noncontrolling interests in a newly formed joint venture, which resulted in the derecognition of the assets of 755 South Figueroa, a residential development property, from the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

As a result of the derecognition of assets, the Company recognized a gain representing the difference between the amount of consideration measured and allocated to the assets and their carrying amount as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s interest in the joint venture as of May 31, 2019 was 54.3% while Brookfield DTLA FP IV Holdings LLC’s interest was 45.7% based on its $29.6 million cash contribution made in exchange for controlling interests in the joint venture. The gain from derecognition of assets is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

In determining whether Brookfield DTLA has a controlling financial interest in an entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, management considers factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, authority to make decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners/members as well as whether the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and Brookfield DTLA is the primary beneficiary.

A VIE is broadly defined as an entity where either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of an entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support.

A variable interest holder is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Brookfield DTLA qualitatively assesses whether it is (or is not) the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

Consideration of various factors includes, but is not limited to, Brookfield DTLA’s ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, its form of ownership interest, its representation on the VIE’s governing body, the size and seniority of its investment, its ability and the rights of other investors to participate in policy making decisions and its ability to replace the manager of and/or liquidate the entity.

The Company determined that the joint venture is a VIE mainly because its equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the joint venture’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. While the joint venture meets the definition of a VIE, Brookfield DTLA is not its primary beneficiary as the Company lacks the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance. Therefore, the Company accounts for its ownership interest in the joint venture under the equity method. Brookfield DTLA is required to continually evaluate its VIE relationships and consolidation conclusion.

The liabilities of the investment in unconsolidated real estate joint venture may only be settled using the assets of 755 South Figueroa and the liabilities of the joint venture are not recourse to the Company. The Company’s exposure to its investment in the joint venture is limited to its investment balance. The Company’s ownership interest in the joint venture is 54.3% as of June 30, 2019. Pursuant to the operating agreement of the joint venture, the other venture partner may be required to fund additional amounts for the development of 755 South Figueroa, routine operating costs, and guaranties or commitments of the joint venture.

777 Tower—

Brookfield DTLA currently intends to refinance the mortgage loan secured by the 777 Tower office property on or about November 1, 2019, its scheduled maturity date. As of June 30, 2019, we did not meet the criteria specified in the loan agreement to extend the maturity date of this loan. As of June 30, 2019, the Company does not expect to make a principal paydown when the loan is refinanced (based on current market conditions). There can be no assurance that this refinancing can be accomplished or what terms will be available in the market for this type of financing at the time of any refinancing.

Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees

All of Brookfield DTLA’s $2.2 billion of mortgage debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against DTLA Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, if certain triggering events (as defined in the loan agreements) occur.

Debt Reporting Compliance

Pursuant to the terms of certain of our mortgage loan agreements, Brookfield DTLA is required to report a debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) calculated using the formulas specified in the underlying loan agreements. We have submitted the required reports to the lenders for the measurement periods ended June 30, 2019 and were in compliance with the amounts required by the loan agreements.

Note 9—Mezzanine Equity

Mezzanine equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets is comprised of the Series A preferred stock, a Series A-1 preferred interest, a senior participating preferred interest, and a Series B preferred interest (collectively, the “Preferred Interests”). The Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest and Series B preferred interest are held by a noncontrolling interest holder. The Preferred Interests are classified in mezzanine equity because they are callable, and the holder of the Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest, Series B preferred interest, and some of the Series A preferred stock indirectly controls the ability to elect to redeem such instruments, through its controlling interest in the Company and its subsidiaries. There is no commitment or obligation on the part of Brookfield DTLA or DTLA Holdings to redeem the Preferred Interests.

The Preferred Interests included within mezzanine equity were recorded at fair value on the date of issuance and have been adjusted to the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Series A Preferred Stock

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 9,730,370 shares of Series A preferred stock were outstanding, of which 9,357,469 shares were issued to third parties and 372,901 shares were issued to DTLA Fund Holding Co., a subsidiary of DTLA Holdings.

No dividends were declared on the Series A preferred stock during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are cumulative, and therefore, will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $1.90625 per share.

The Series A preferred stock does not have a stated maturity 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 our common stock with respect to the payment of distributions. We may, at our option, redeem the Series A preferred stock, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A preferred stock up to and including the redemption date. The Series A preferred stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of Brookfield DTLA.

As of June 30, 2019, the Series A preferred stock is reported at its redemption value of $419.2 million calculated using the redemption price of $25.00 per share plus $175.9 million of accumulated and unpaid dividends on such Series A preferred stock through June 30, 2019.

Series A-1 Preferred Interest

The Series A-1 preferred interest is held by DTLA Holdings or wholly-owned subsidiaries of DTLA Holdings. Interest on the Series A-1 preferred interest is cumulative and accrues at an annual rate of 7.625%.

Table of Contents


BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)

As of June 30, 2019, the Series A-1 preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $409.4 million calculated using its liquidation value of $225.7 million plus $183.7 million of unpaid interest on such Series A-1 preferred interest through June 30, 2019.

Senior Participating Preferred Interest

Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties III LLC (“DTLA OP”) issued a senior participating preferred interest to DTLA Holdings in connection with the formation of Brookfield DTLA and the MPG acquisition. The senior participating preferred interest represents a 4.0% participating interest in the residual value of DTLA OP.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Brookfield DTLA made distributions totaling $2.0 million to DTLA Holdings as returns of investment related to the senior participating preferred interest using cash on hand.

As of June 30, 2019, the senior participating preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $22.7 million using the value of the participating interest.

Series B Preferred Interest

At the time of the merger with MPG, DTLA Holdings made a commitment to make capital contributions in cash or property to New OP, which directly or indirectly owns the Brookfield DTLA properties, to fund up to $260.0 million of its future cash needs, for which it will be entitled to receive a market rate of return determined at the time of contribution (“preferred return”).

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received cash contributions totaling $27.4 million from DTLA Holdings under this commitment, which are entitled to a 9.0% preferred return. The Company used the funds for capital expenditures and leasing costs. As of June 30, 2019, $57.8 million is available to the Company under this commitment for future funding.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Brookfield DTLA made distributions to DTLA Holdings totaling $2.7 million as preferred returns on the Series B preferred interest using cash on hand. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Brookfield DTLA made distributions totaling $12.5 million to DTLA Holdings as preferred returns on the Series B preferred interest using cash on hand.

As of June 30, 2019, the Series B preferred interest is reported at its redemption value of $215.1 million calculated using its liquidation value of $202.2 million plus $12.9 million of unpaid preferred returns on such Series B preferred interest through June 30, 2019.

Note 13—Income Taxes

Income Taxes

Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA conducts and intends to conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and distributions to its stockholders, if any, generally equal or exceed its taxable income.

Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes. Our TRS did not have significant tax provisions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends upon Brookfield DTLA’s ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code related to annual operating results, asset diversification, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that Brookfield DTLA will be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT. If Brookfield DTLA fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and we may be ineligible to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Brookfield DTLA may be subject to certain state or local income taxes, or franchise taxes on its REIT activities. Brookfield DTLA’s taxable income or loss is different than its financial statement income or loss.

Uncertain Tax Positions

Brookfield DTLA recognizes tax benefits from uncertain tax positions when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more likely than not recognition threshold. Brookfield DTLA has no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits balance to change during the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2019, Brookfield DTLA’s 2013 tax period and 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 tax years remain open due to the statute of limitations and may be subject to examination by federal, state and local authorities.

Note 14—Fair Value Measurements

The valuation of Brookfield DTLA’s derivative financial instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. These analyses reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We have incorporated credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements.

Brookfield DTLA’s (liabilities) assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall, are as follows (in thousands):

The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgage and mezzanine loans by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of principal and interest payments for each loan. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates, which management considers to be Level 2 inputs, assumes that each loan will be outstanding until maturity, and excludes any options to extend the maturity date of the loan available per the terms of the loan agreement, if any.

Management Agreements

Certain subsidiaries of Brookfield DTLA have entered into arrangements with the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager provides property management and various other services. Property management fees under the management agreements entered into in connection with these arrangements are calculated based on 2.75% of rents collected (as defined in the management agreements). In addition, the Company pays the Manager an asset management fee, which is calculated based on 0.75% of the capital contributed by DTLA Holdings. Leasing management fees paid to the Manager range from 1.00% to 4.00% of expected rents, depending on the terms of the lease and whether a third-party broker was paid a commission for the transaction. Construction management fees are paid to the Manager based on 3.00% of hard and soft construction costs. Development management fees are paid to the Manager and Brookfield affiliates by the unconsolidated joint venture based on 3.00% of hard and soft construction costs.

A summary of costs incurred by the applicable Brookfield DTLA subsidiaries under these arrangements is as follows (in thousands):

Note 17—Commitments and Contingencies

Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries may be subject to pending legal proceedings and litigation incidental to its business.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto that appear in Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could ultimately differ from such estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full fiscal year. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Overview and Background

Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. (“Brookfield DTLA” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and was incorporated on April 19, 2013. Brookfield DTLA was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), and the issuance of shares of 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A preferred stock”) in connection with the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. (together, “MPG”). Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DTLA Holdings”, and together with its affiliates excluding the Company and its subsidiaries, the “Manager”). DTLA Holdings is an indirect partially-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Property Partners L.P., an exempted limited partnership under the Laws of Bermuda (“BPY”), which in turn is the flagship commercial property entity and the primary vehicle through which Brookfield Asset Management Inc., a corporation under the Laws of Canada (“BAM”) invests in real estate on a global basis.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Brookfield DTLA owned BOA Plaza, EY Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, which are Class A office properties, and Figat7th, a retail center nested between EY Plaza and 777 Tower, all of which are located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”).

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

On May 31, 2019, Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“New OP”), entered into an agreement to contribute and transfer all of its wholly-owned interests in Brookfield DTLA 4050/755 Inc. (the “Property Owner”), the indirect property owner of 755 South Figueroa, a residential development property, in exchange for noncontrolling interests in a newly formed joint venture. See Item 1. “Financial Statements—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4 Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Venture.”

Brookfield DTLA receives its income primarily from lease income generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, income from its parking garages.

Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA conducts and intends to conduct its operations so as to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and distributions to its stockholders, if any, generally equal or exceed its taxable income. Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Certain activities that we undertake must be conducted by a TRS, such as non-customary services for our tenants, and holding assets that we cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Brookfield DTLA’s business requires continued access to adequate cash to fund its liquidity needs. The amount of cash Brookfield DTLA currently generates from its operations is not sufficient to cover its operating, financing and investing activities, resulting in “negative cash burn,” and there can be no assurance that the amount of Brookfield DTLA’s negative cash burn will decrease, or that it will not increase, in the future. If Brookfield DTLA’s operating cash flow and capital are not sufficient to cover its operating costs or to repay its indebtedness as it comes due, we may issue additional debt and/or equity, including to affiliates of Brookfield DTLA, which issuances could further adversely impact the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock. In many cases, such securities may be issued if authorized by the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA without the approval of holders of the Series A preferred stock. See “—Potential Uses of Liquidity—Property Operations” below.

Sources
 
 
Uses
 
Cash on hand;
 
Property operations;
 
Cash generated from operations;
 
Capital expenditures;
 
Contributions from noncontrolling

Potential Sources of Liquidity

Cash on Hand

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Brookfield DTLA had cash and cash equivalents totaling $46.9 million and $80.4 million, respectively.

Cash Generated from Operations

Brookfield DTLA’s cash generated from operations is primarily dependent upon (1) the occupancy level of its portfolio, (2) the rental rates achieved on its leases, and (3) the collectability of rent and other amounts billed to its tenants. Net cash generated from operations is tied to the level of operating expenses, described below under “—Potential Uses of Liquidity.”

Annualized rent represents the annualized monthly contractual rent under executed leases as of June 30, 2019. This amount reflects total base rent before any rent abatements as of June 30, 2019 and is shown on a net basis; thus, for any tenant under a partial gross lease, the expense stop, or under a fully gross lease, the current year operating expenses (which may be estimates as of such date), are subtracted from gross rent. Total abatements for executed leases as of June 30, 2019 for the twelve months ending June 30, 2020 are approximately $10.8 million, or $1.69 per leased square foot.

Annualized rent per rentable square foot represents annualized rent as computed above, divided by leased square feet as of June 30, 2019.

Collectability of rent from our tenants. Brookfield DTLA’s lease income depends on collecting rent from its tenants, and in particular from its major tenants. In the event of tenant defaults, Brookfield DTLA may experience delays in enforcing its rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in pursuing legal possession of the tenant’s space and recovery of any amounts due from the tenant. This is particularly true in the case of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant or where the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is acting as receiver.

Contributions from Noncontrolling Interests

At the time of the merger with MPG, DTLA Holdings made a commitment to contribute up to $260.0 million in cash or property to New OP, which directly or indirectly owns the Brookfield DTLA properties, for which it will be entitled to receive a market rate of return determined at the time of contribution (“preferred return”).

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company received cash contributions totaling $27.4 million from DTLA Holdings under this commitment, which are entitled to a 9.0% preferred return as part of the Series B preferred interest. The Company used the funds for capital expenditures and leasing costs. As of June 30, 2019 and through the date of this report, $57.8 million is available to the Company under this commitment for future funding.

Other Contributions—

In addition to the amounts received under the commitment described above, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 the Company received contributions to additional paid-in capital totaling $0.5 million from DTLA Holdings that were used for general corporate purposes.

Proceeds from Additional Secured or Unsecured Debt Financings—

Wells Fargo Center–South Tower—

As of June 30, 2019 and through the date of this report, a future advance amount of $31.8 million is available under the Wells Fargo Center–South Tower mortgage loan that can be drawn by the Company to fund approved leasing costs (as defined in the underlying loan agreement), including tenant improvements and inducements, leasing commissions, and common area improvements.

Potential Uses of Liquidity

The following are the projected uses, and some of the potential uses, of cash in the near term.

Property Operations

Brookfield DTLA’s business requires continued access to adequate cash to fund its liquidity needs. The amount of cash Brookfield DTLA currently generates from its operations is not sufficient to cover its operating, financing and investing activities, resulting in “negative cash burn,” and there can be no assurance that the amount of Brookfield DTLA’s negative cash burn will decrease, or that it will not increase, in the future. Should the cash generated by Brookfield DTLA’s properties not be sufficient to fund their operations, such cash would be provided by DTLA Holdings or another source of funds available to the Company or, if such cash were not made available, the Company might not have sufficient cash to fund its operations.

Capital Expenditures and Leasing Costs

Capital expenditures fluctuate in any given period, subject to the nature, extent and timing of improvements required to maintain Brookfield DTLA’s properties. Leasing costs also fluctuate in any given period, depending upon such factors as the type of property, the length of the lease, the type of lease, the involvement of external leasing agents and overall market conditions.

Brookfield DTLA expects that capital improvements and leasing activities at its properties will require material amounts of cash for at least several years. Brookfield DTLA projects spending approximately $311 million over the next five years consisting of $53 million for capital expenditures, $168 million for tenant improvements, and $90 million for leasing costs. The expected capital improvements include, but are not limited to, renovations and physical capital upgrades to Brookfield DTLA’s properties, such as atrium renovations at Wells Fargo Center, upgrades to fire alarm, security and HVAC systems, elevator upgrades, parking structure improvements, and roof replacements.

As of June 30, 2019 and through the date of this report, a future advance amount of $31.8 million is available under the Wells Fargo Center–South Tower mortgage loan that can be drawn by the Company to fund approved leasing costs (as defined in the underlying loan agreement), including tenant improvements and inducements, leasing commissions, and common area improvements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Payments in Connection with Loans

Debt Maturities—

As Brookfield DTLA’s debt matures, principal payment obligations present significant future cash requirements. Brookfield DTLA currently intends to refinance the mortgage loan secured by the 777 Tower office property on or about November 1, 2019, its scheduled maturity date. As of June 30, 2019, we did not meet the criteria specified in the loan agreement to extend the maturity date of this loan. As of June 30, 2019, the Company does not expect to make a principal paydown when the loan is refinanced (based on current market conditions). There can be no assurance that this refinancing can be accomplished or what terms will be available in the market for this type of financing at the time of any refinancing.

Distributions to Noncontrolling Interests

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Brookfield DTLA made distributions to DTLA Holdings totaling $2.7 million as preferred returns on the Series B preferred interest using cash on hand. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Brookfield DTLA made distributions to DTLA Holdings totaling $12.5 million as preferred returns on the Series B preferred interest and $2.0 million as returns of investment related to the senior participating preferred interest using cash on hand.

Indebtedness

As of June 30, 2019, Brookfield DTLA’s debt was comprised of mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by seven properties. A summary of our debt as of June 30, 2019 is as follows (in millions, except percentage amounts and years):

This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.80%. As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap contract that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 4.50%. Brookfield DTLA has two options to extend the maturity date of this loan, each for a period of one year. As of June 30, 2019, a future advance amount of $31.8 million is available under this loan that can be drawn by the Company to fund approved leasing costs (as defined in the underlying loan agreement), including tenant improvements and inducements, leasing commissions, and common area improvements.

This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.18%. As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap contract that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 5.75%. Brookfield DTLA has one option to extend the maturity date of this loan for a period of one year, subject to meeting certain debt yield and loan to value ratios (as specified in the loan agreement). As of June 30, 2019, we did not meet the criteria specified in the loan agreement to extend this loan. See “Debt Maturities—777 Tower” below.
(7)
This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 4.55%. As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into an interest rate cap contract that limits the LIBOR portion of the interest rate to 3.50%.
(8)
This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.65%. As required by the loan agreement, we have entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge this loan, which effectively fix the LIBOR portion of the interest rate at 2.29%. The effective interest rate of 3.90% includes interest on the swaps.

Debt Maturities

777 Tower—

Brookfield DTLA currently intends to refinance the mortgage loan secured by the 777 Tower office property on or about November 1, 2019, its scheduled maturity date. As of June 30, 2019, we did not meet the criteria specified in the loan agreement to extend the maturity date of this loan. As of June 30, 2019, the Company does not expect to make a principal paydown when the loan is refinanced (based on current market conditions). There can be no assurance that this refinancing can be accomplished or what terms will be available in the market for this type of financing at the time of any refinancing.

Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees

All of Brookfield DTLA’s $2.2 billion of mortgage debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against DTLA Holdings or one of its subsidiaries, if certain triggering events (as defined in the loan agreements) occur.

Debt Reporting Compliance

Pursuant to the terms of certain of our mortgage loan agreements, Brookfield DTLA is required to report a debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) calculated using the formulas specified in the underlying loan agreements. We have submitted the required reports to the lenders for the measurement periods ended June 30, 2019 and were in compliance with the amounts required by the loan agreements.

Interest and Other Revenue

Interest and other revenue decreased $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, largely due to proceeds totaling $9.3 million received from the sale of artwork no longer on display at our Wells Fargo Center office properties due to renovation activities during 2018, for which there was no comparable activity during 2019.

Other Expense

Other expense decreased $2.3 million, or 55%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, mainly as a result of income tax provisions recorded related to the sale of artwork during 2018, for which there was no comparable activity during 2019.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.7 million, or 12%, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increased investments in tenant improvements year over year.

Gain from Derecognition of Assets

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, New OP entered into an agreement to contribute and transfer all of its wholly-owned interests in the Property Owner, the indirect property owner of 755 South Figueroa, a residential development property, in exchange for noncontrolling interests in a newly formed joint venture and recognized a $15.0 million gain.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Discussion of Condensed Consolidated Cash Flows

Brookfield DTLA’s business requires continued access to adequate cash to fund its liquidity needs. The amount of cash Brookfield DTLA currently generates from its operations is not sufficient to cover its operating, financing and investing activities, resulting in “negative cash burn,” and there can be no assurance that the amount of Brookfield DTLA’s negative cash burn will decrease, or that it will not increase, in the future. If Brookfield DTLA’s operating cash flow and capital are not sufficient to cover its operating costs or to repay its indebtedness as it comes due, we may issue additional debt and/or equity, including to affiliates of Brookfield DTLA, which issuances could further adversely impact the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock. In many cases, such securities may be issued if authorized by the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA without the approval of holders of the Series A preferred stock. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Potential Uses of Liquidity—Property Operations” above.

The following summary discussion of Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows is based on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows in Item 1. “Financial Statements” and is not meant to be an all‑inclusive discussion of the changes in its cash flows for the periods presented below.

Operating Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flow from operating activities is primarily dependent upon (1) the occupancy level of its portfolio, (2) the rental rates achieved on its leases, and (3) the collectability of rent and other amounts billed to tenants and is also tied to the level of operating expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $21.7 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $9.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The $12.4 million increase in cash is primarily due to changes in working capital.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

Investing Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flow from investing activities is generally impacted by the amount of capital expenditures for its properties. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $80.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $35.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company spent $40.7 million for tenant improvements at BOA Plaza, EY Plaza and 777 Tower in connection with lease renewals by major tenants along with continued atrium renovations at Wells Fargo Center totaling $20.7 million.

Financing Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flow from financing activities is generally impacted by its loan activity, and contributions from and distributions to its mezzanine equity holders and distributions to its stockholders, if any. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $25.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $95.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. Proceeds from the Series B preferred interest were the source of the net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Net proceeds from the refinancing of the EY Plaza and Figat7th mortgage loans, partially offset by distributions to the Series B and senior participating preferred interests, were the main source of net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Related Party Transactions

Management Agreements

Certain subsidiaries of Brookfield DTLA have entered into arrangements with the Manager, pursuant to which the Manager provides property management and various other services. Property management fees under the management agreements entered into in connection with these arrangements are calculated based on 2.75% of rents collected (as defined in the management agreements). In addition, the Company pays the Manager an asset management fee, which is calculated based on 0.75% of the capital contributed by DTLA Holdings. Leasing management fees paid to the Manager range from 1.00% to 4.00% of expected rents, depending on the terms of the lease and whether a third-party broker was paid a commission for the transaction. Construction management fees are paid to the Manager based on 3.00% of hard and soft construction costs. Development management fees are paid to the Manager and Brookfield affiliates by the unconsolidated joint venture based on 3.00% of hard and soft construction costs.

Please refer to Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies for the year ended December 31, 2018. For six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no material changes to these policies, other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases, described in Item 1. “Financial Statements—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3 “Leases” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Pronouncement Adopted Effective January 1, 2019

Please refer to Item 1. “Financial Statements—Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 3 “Leases” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of our adoption of Topic 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019.

Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2020

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, to amend the accounting for credit losses for certain financial instruments. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. In November 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. This amendment clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Subtopic 842-30, Leases—Lessor. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted as of the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018, including adoption in an interim period. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), to amend the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 include new, modified and eliminated disclosure requirements and are the result of a broader disclosure project, FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, that was finalized on August 28, 2018. The FASB used the guidance in the Concepts Statement to improve the effectiveness of the disclosure requirements in Topic 820. ASU 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities, which amends two aspects of the related-party guidance in Topic 810. Specifically, ASU 2018-17 (1) adds an elective private company scope exception to the variable interest entity guidance for entities under common control and (2) removes a sentence in ASC 810-10-55-37D regarding the evaluation of fees paid to decision makers to conform with the amendments in ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810), Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control (issued in October 2016). ASU 2018-17 is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this guidance on Brookfield DTLA’s consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

See Part II, Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019 for a discussion regarding our exposure to market risk. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since year end 2018.

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Brookfield DTLA maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal 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.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), Brookfield DTLA carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Brookfield DTLA’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, G. Mark Brown, our principal executive officer, and Bryan D. Smith, our principal financial officer, concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2019.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in Brookfield DTLA’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or that are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.

Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries may be subject to pending legal proceedings and litigation incidental to its business. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability that may potentially result upon resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors.

Factors That May Affect Future Results
(Cautionary Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (as set forth in Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, include statements regarding our operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook, as well as the outlook for North American and international economies for the current fiscal year and subsequent periods, and include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “likely,” or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” and “could.”

Although Brookfield DTLA believes that its anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond its control, which may cause Brookfield DTLA’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

Risks generally incident to the ownership of real property, including the ability to retain tenants and rent space upon lease expirations, the financial condition and solvency of our tenants, the relative illiquidity of real estate and changes in real estate taxes, regulatory compliance costs and other operating expenses;

Risks associated with the Downtown Los Angeles market, which is characterized by challenging leasing conditions, including limited numbers of new tenants coming into the market and the downsizing of large tenants in the market such as accounting firms, banks and law firms;


56

Table of Contents

Risks related to increased competition for tenants in the Downtown Los Angeles market, including aggressive attempts by competing landlords to fill large vacancies by providing tenants with lower rental rates, increasing amounts of free rent and providing larger allowances for tenant improvements;

The impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and market factors in the regions in which Brookfield DTLA or any of its subsidiaries does business;

The use of debt to finance Brookfield DTLA’s business or that of its subsidiaries;

The behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest rates;

Uncertainties of real estate development or redevelopment;

Global equity and capital markets and the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing within these markets;

Risks relating to Brookfield DTLA’s insurance coverage;

The possible impact of international conflicts and other developments, including terrorist acts;

Potential environmental liabilities;

Dependence on management personnel;

The ability to complete and effectively integrate acquisitions into existing operations and the ability to attain expected benefits therefrom;

Operational and reputational risks;

Catastrophic events, such as earthquakes and hurricanes; and

The impact of legislative, regulatory and competitive changes and other risk factors relating to the real estate industry, as detailed from time to time in the reports of Brookfield DTLA filed with the SEC.

Brookfield DTLA cautions that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on Brookfield DTLA’s forward-looking statements or information, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by law, Brookfield DTLA undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward‑looking statements or information, whether written or oral, that may be as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Table of Contents

Additional material risk factors are discussed in other sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2019. Those risks are also relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
