Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Description of Business
City Office REIT, Inc. (the Company) was organized in the state of Maryland on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (IPO) of shares of the Companys common stock. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to City Office REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the Operating Partnership), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (common units). Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions (the Formation Transactions).
The Companys interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Companys percentage ownership of common units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the Operating Partnerships partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnerships business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.
The Company has elected to be taxed and will continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct dividend distributions paid to its stockholders, eliminating the U.S. federal taxation of income represented by such distributions at the Company level. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and any applicable alternative minimum tax.
On February 1, 2016, the Company closed on the previously announced management internalization (the Internalization). The Company had previously entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (Stock Purchase Agreement) with certain stockholders of the Companys external advisor, City Office Real Estate Management Inc. (the Advisor) pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Advisor. Pursuant to this Stock Purchase Agreement, at closing, the Company issued 297,321 shares of its common stock with a fair market value of $3.5 million to the stockholders of the Advisor (the Sellers), which included the Companys three executive officers and Samuel Belzberg, a director of the Company. In addition, the Company was required to make cash payments to the Sellers of up to $3.5 million if the Companys fully diluted market capitalization reached the following thresholds prior to December 31, 2016: $1 million upon the Company achieving a $200 million fully diluted market capitalization, an additional $1 million upon the Company achieving a $225 million fully diluted market capitalization and an additional $1.5 million upon the Company achieving a $250 million fully diluted market capitalization. The Company paid an additional $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 representing the payments to be made to the Sellers upon reaching these fully diluted market capitalizations, which, together with the initial payment and professional fees, resulted in a total cost of $7.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. The amount was recorded as an expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as it represented the cost of terminating the relationship.
In connection with the closing of the Internalization, the Company entered into an amendment to the Advisory Agreement between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Companys former external Advisor (Advisory Agreement) that eliminates the payment of acquisition fees by the Company to the Advisor. In addition, each of the Companys executive officers entered into an employment agreement with the Company and became employees of the Company, and, at the same time, approximately eleven additional former employees of the Advisor and its affiliates became employees of the Company.
In connection with the closing of the transactions under the Stock Purchase Agreement, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement (the Administrative Services Agreement) with Second City Capital II Corporation and Second City Real Estate II Corporation, related entities controlled by Mr. Belzberg. The Administrative Services Agreement has a three year term and pursuant to the agreement, the Company will provide various administrative services and support to the related entities managing the Second City funds. The Companys subsidiary will receive annual payments for these services under the Administrative Services Agreement as follows: first 12 months$1.5 million, second 12 months$1.15 million and third 12 months$0.625 million, for a total of $3.275 million over the three-year term.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (US GAAP) and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted in the Current Year
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The new standard provides an initial screening test to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. The test requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on the issuance date effective January 2017. The Company expects that most of its real estate acquisitions will be considered asset acquisitions under the new guidance and that transaction costs will be capitalized to the investment basis which is then subject to a purchase price allocation based on relative fair value.
To be Adopted in Future Years
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which creates a new Topic Accounting Standards Codification (Topic 606). The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a Company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard is effective for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption of this standard is permitted, but not prior to the original effective date of January 1, 2017. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of Topic 606 will have on our financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new leases standard on its consolidated financial statements.
In August of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides clarified guidance on the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our statement of cash flows.

Table of Contents
In November of 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the changes during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our statement of cash flows.

6. 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 Inputs quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Inputs observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3 Inputs unobservable inputs
As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company did not have any hedges or derivatives.

Table of Contents
The estimated fair value of the earn-out liability decreased from $2.4 million at December 31, 2016 to $0 million at June 30, 2017. On February 15, 2017, the Company entered into a Termination and Mutual Release Agreement with Second City that terminated our obligation to make any future earn-out payments associated with the Central Fairwinds property in exchange for a cash payment of $2.4 million was made to Second City on February 21, 2017.
Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
The Company estimates that the fair value approximates carrying value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its fixed rate mortgage loan payable based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments was $420.3 million and $323.7 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its fixed rate debt fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its fixed rate debt utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads. Accordingly, mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.
7. Related Party Transactions
Property Management Fees
Five of the Companys properties (City Center, Central Fairwinds, AmberGlen, FRP Collection and Park Tower) have engaged related parties to perform asset and property management services for a fee ranging from 2.0% to 3.5% of gross revenue. Management fees paid to the minority partners of these five properties totaled $0.5 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
8. Future Minimum Rent Schedule
Future minimum lease payments to be received as of June 30, 2017 under noncancellable operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):
2017 |

Table of Contents
Thirteen state government tenants currently have the exercisable right to terminate their leases if the applicable state legislation does not appropriate rent in its annual budget. The Company has determined that the occurrence of any government tenant not being appropriated the rent in the applicable annual budget is a remote contingency and accordingly recognizes lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. These tenants represent approximately 14.3% of the Companys total future minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2017.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Other
The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
The Company is involved from time to time in lawsuits and other disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2017, management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
10. Stockholders Equity
On February 1, 2016, the Company closed on the Internalization. Upon closing of the Internalization, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Advisor. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, at closing, the Company issued 297,321 shares of its common stock to the sellers. In addition, the Company recorded $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 in payments to the sellers upon reaching certain fully diluted market capitalization thresholds.

The Company raised $71.3 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $68.0 million after deducting $3.3 million in underwriting discounts and other expenses related to the offering.
On June 16, 2017, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into separate equity distribution agreements (the Sales Agreements) with each of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and BMO Capital Markets Corp.

Pursuant to the Sales Agreements, the Shares may be offered and sold through the Sales Agents in transactions that are deemed to be at the market offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or, with the prior consent of the Company, in privately negotiated transactions. The Sales Agents will be entitled to compensation of up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of Shares sold through the Sales Agents from time to time under the Sales Agreements. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the Sales Agreements and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under, or terminate, the Sales Agreements.

Table of Contents
During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, we did not sell any Shares under the ATM Program.
Non-controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests in the Company represent common units not held by the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries. There were no non-controlling interests in the Company as of June 30, 2017. Common units and shares of common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on or after the date which is 12 months after the date on which a person first became a holder of common units, each limited partner and assignees of limited partners will have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the common units held by such limited partner or assignee in exchange for a cash amount per common unit equal to the value of one share of common stock, determined in accordance with and subject to adjustment under the partnership agreement. The Company has the sole option at its discretion to redeem the tendered common units by issuing common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Operating Partnership unitholders are entitled to share in cash distributions from the Operating Partnership in proportion to its percentage ownership of common units.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, 40,000 common units were redeemed for shares of common stock.
Common Stock and Common Unit Distributions
On June 27, 2017, the Companys board of directors approved and the Company declared a cash dividend distribution of $0.235 per share for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017. The dividend was paid on July 25, 2017 to common stockholders and common unitholders of record as of July 11, 2017 for an aggregate of $7.1 million.
Preferred Stock Distributions
During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, the Companys board of directors approved and the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.4140625 per share for an aggregate amount of $1.9 million. The dividend was paid subsequent to quarter end on July 25, 2017.
Restricted Stock Units
The Company has an equity incentive plan (Equity Incentive Plan) for certain officers, directors, advisors and personnel, and, with approval of the board of directors, for subsidiaries and their respective affiliates. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted common stock, restricted stock units, phantom shares, stock options, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards (including LTIP Units), subject to the total number of shares available for issuance under the plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors (the plan administrator).
The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan is 1,263,580 shares. To the extent an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, 117,478 restricted stock units (RSUs) were granted to directors and non-executive employees with a fair value of $1.5 million. The awards will vest in three equal, annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 the Company recognized net compensation expense of $1.2 million related to the RSUs.
A RSU award represents the right to receive shares of the Companys common stock in the future, after the applicable vesting criteria, determined by the plan administrator, has been satisfied. The holder of an award of RSU has no rights as a stockholder until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of vested RSUs. The plan administrator may provide for a grant of dividend equivalent rights in connection with the grant of RSU; provided, however, that if the RSUs do not vest solely upon satisfaction of continued employment or service, any payment in respect to the related dividend equivalent rights will be held by the Company and paid when, and only to the extent that, the related RSU vest.

Overview
Company
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, we completed our initial public offering (IPO) of shares of common stock. We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership. Both we and our Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions (the Formation Transactions).
The Companys interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Companys percentage ownership of common units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the Operating Partnerships partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnerships business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.
The Company has elected to be taxed and will continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Code. Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct dividend distributions paid to its stockholders, eliminating the U.S. federal taxation of income represented by such distributions at the Company level. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and any applicable alternative minimum tax.
On February 1, 2016, the Company closed on the previously announced Internalization. The Company had previously entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with certain stockholders of the Companys external advisor, City Office Real Estate Management Inc. pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Advisor. Pursuant to this Stock Purchase Agreement, at closing, the Company issued 297,321 shares of its common stock with a fair market value of $3.5 million to the Sellers, which include the Companys three executive officers and Samuel Belzberg, a director of the Company. In addition, the Company was required to make cash payments to the Sellers of up to $3.5 million if the Companys fully diluted market capitalization reached the

following thresholds prior to December 31, 2016: $1 million upon the Company achieving a $200 million fully diluted market capitalization, an additional $1 million upon the Company achieving a $225 million fully diluted market capitalization and an additional $1.5 million upon the Company achieving a $250 million fully diluted market capitalization. The Company paid an additional $3.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 representing the payments made to the Sellers upon reaching these fully diluted market capitalizations, which, together with the initial payment and professional fees, resulted in a total cost of $7.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2016. The amount was recorded as an expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations as it represented the cost of terminating the relationship.
In connection with the closing of the Internalization, the Company entered into an amendment to the Advisory Agreement that eliminates the payment of acquisition fees by the Company to the Companys former external Advisor. In addition, each of the Companys executive officers entered into an employment agreement with the Company and became employees of the Company, and, at the same time, approximately eleven additional former employees of the Advisor and its affiliates became employees of the Company.
In connection with the closing of the transactions under the Stock Purchase Agreement, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an Administrative Services Agreement with Second City Capital II Corporation and Second City Real Estate II Corporation, related entities controlled by Mr. Belzberg. The Administrative Services Agreement has a three year term and pursuant to the agreement, the Company will provide various administrative services and support to the related entities managing the Second City funds. The Companys subsidiary will receive annual payments for these services under the Administrative Services Agreement as follows: first 12 months$1.5 million, second 12 months$1.15 million and third 12 months$0.625 million, for a total of $3.275 million over the three-year term.

Revenue Base
As of June 30, 2017, we owned 19 properties comprised of 36 office buildings with a total of approximately 4.4 million square feet of net rentable area (NRA). As of June 30, 2017, our properties were approximately 90.1% occupied.
Office Leases
Historically, most leases for our properties were on a full-service gross or net lease basis, and we expect to continue to use such leases in the future. A full-service gross lease generally has a base year expense stop, whereby we pay a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating expenses are billed to the tenant based on such tenants proportionate square footage in the property. The property operating expenses are reflected in operating expenses; however, only the increased property operating expenses above the base year stop recovered from tenants are reflected as tenant recoveries in our statements of operations. In a triple net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all property taxes and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not include any operating expenses, but rather all such expenses are billed to or paid by the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type is reflected in operating expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected in tenant recoveries. The tenants in the Lake Vista Pointe, FRP Ingenuity Drive and Superior Pointe properties have triple net leases. FRP Collection has triple net leases for three of its tenants. 2525 McKinnon has triple net leases for seven of its tenants. We are also a lessor for a fee simple ground lease at the AmberGlen property. All of our remaining leases are full-service gross leases.

Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition
Business and Strategy
We focus on owning and acquiring office properties in our target markets. Our target markets generally possess what we believe are favorable economic growth trends, growing populations with above-average employment growth forecasts, a large number of government offices, large international, national and regional employers across diversified industries, are generally low-cost centers for business operations, and exhibit favorable occupancy trends. We utilize our managements market-specific knowledge and relationships as well as the expertise of local real estate operators and our investment partners to identify acquisition opportunities that we believe will offer cash flow stability and long-term value appreciation. Our target markets are attractive, among other reasons, because we believe that ownership is often concentrated among local real estate operators that typically do not benefit from the same access to capital as public REITs and there is a relatively low level of participation of large institutional investors. We believe that these factors result in attractive pricing levels and risk-adjusted returns.
Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries
The amount of net rental revenue generated by our properties will depend principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that becomes available from lease terminations. As of June 30, 2017, our properties were approximately 90.1% occupied. The amount of rental revenue generated also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. We believe that the average rental rates for our portfolio of properties are generally in-line or slightly below the current average quoted market rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our markets or submarkets or downturns in our tenants industries that impair our ability to renew or re-let space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. In addition, growth in rental revenue will also partially depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria.
Our Properties
As of June 30, 2017, we owned 19 office complexes comprised of 36 office buildings with a total of approximately 4.4 million square feet of NRA in the metropolitan areas of Boise, Dallas, Denver, Orlando, Phoenix, Portland and Tampa.

(1) | For Superior Pointe, FRP Ingenuity Drive and Lake Vista Pointe, the annualized base rent per square foot on a triple net basis was increased by $10, $8 and $8 respectively, to estimate a gross equivalent base rent. AmberGlen has a net lease for one tenant which has been grossed-up by $7 on a pro rata basis. FRP Collection has net leases for three tenants which have been grossed up by $8 on a pro-rata basis. 2525 McKinnon has net leases for seven tenants which have been grossed up by $14 on a pro-rata basis. |
(2) | Annualized base rent is calculated by multiplying (i) rental payments (defined as cash rents before abatements) for the month ended June 30, 2017 by (ii) 12. |
(3) | Averages weighted based on the propertys NRA, adjusted for occupancy. |
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses generally consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, insurance and site maintenance costs. Increases in these expenses over tenants base years (until the base year is reset at expiration) are generally passed along to tenants in our full-service gross leased properties and are generally paid in full by tenants in our net leased properties.
Conditions in Our Markets
Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions in the markets we operate in, including state budgetary shortfalls, employment rates, natural hazards and other factors, may impact our overall performance.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The interim consolidated financial statements follow the same policies and procedures as outlined in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Total revenues increased $9.1 million, or 57%, to $25.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $16.1 million in the corresponding period in 2016. $0.9 million of this increase was attributed to the acquisition of Carillon Point in June 2016, $1.3 million from the acquisition of FRP Collection in July 2016, $2.9 million from the acquisition of Park Tower in November 2016, $1.2 million from the acquisition of 5090 N 40th St in November 2016, $1.9 million from the acquisition of SanTan in December 2016 and $1.4 million from the acquisition of 2525 McKinnon in January 2017. Further contributing to the increase, Washington Group Plaza increased by $0.8 million due to the downtime in the prior year associated with tenant improvement work for new tenants at the property replacing a tenant who departed on December 31, 2015. Offsetting these increases, Corporate Parkway decreased by $0.6 million due to the sale of the property in June 2016, AmberGlen decreased by $0.2 million primarily due to the sale of two of the five buildings in the complex in May 2017, and Plaza 25 decreased $0.4 million as a result of lower occupancy. The remaining properties revenues were relatively unchanged, decreased $0.1 million in comparison to three months ended June 30, 2016.

Offsetting these increases is a decrease in Plaza 25 expense reimbursement income due to reduced occupancy over the prior year.
Other. Other revenue includes parking, signage and other miscellaneous income. Total other revenues increased $0.4 million, or 133%, to $0.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2016.

Total operating expenses increased by $7.0 million, or 49%, to $21.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $14.4 million for the same period in 2016, primarily due to acquisitions described above. Total operating expenses increased by $0.7 million, $1.5 million, $2.3 million, $0.9 million, $1.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively, from the acquisitions of Carillon Point, FRP Collection, Park Tower, 5090 N 40th St, SanTan and 2525 McKinnon. Corporate Parkway decreased operating expenses by $0.5 million due to the sale of the property in June 2016. Washington Group Plaza operating expenses decreased by $0.4 million as a result of two offsetting changes. Depreciation decreased by $0.9 million as the property was designated as held for sale during the quarter at which point the property ceased depreciation offset by higher property operating expenses incurred due to the higher occupancy at the property. The remaining property operating expenses were relatively unchanged, in comparison to the prior year.
Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses are comprised mainly of building common area and maintenance expenses, insurance, property taxes, property management fees, as well as certain expenses that are not recoverable from tenants, the majority of which are related to costs necessary to maintain the appearance and marketability of vacant space. In the normal course of business, property expenses fluctuate and are impacted by various factors including, but not limited to, occupancy levels, weather, utility costs, repairs, maintenance and releasing costs. Property operating expenses increased $4.5 million, or 72%, to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $6.2 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in property operating expenses was primarily due to the acquisitions described above.

Acquisition Costs. Acquisition costs were $0 for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.1 million in the prior year. The company early adopted ASU 2017-01 and therefore costs associated with acquisitions are capitalized for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as part of the acquisition costs as required under the accounting for an asset acquisition.

Table of Contents
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses comprise of normal public company reporting costs and the compensation of our management team and board of directors as well as non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses were relatively unchanged at $1.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. Expense growth including payroll and other costs were offset by lower stock compensation costs. Included in general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $0.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Certain prior year amounts related to stock-based compensation expenses have been reclassified to general and administrative expenses to conform to current period presentation.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $2.6 million, or 40%, to $9.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $6.5 million for the same period in 2016, primarily due to the addition of the Carillon Point, FRP Collection, Park Tower, 5090 N 40th St, SanTan and 2525 McKinnon properties offset by a decrease at Washington Group Plaza which ceased depreciation during the quarter due to the classification as held for sale and Corporate Parkway which decreased by $0.5 million due to the sale of the property in June 2016.
Other Expense (Income)
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 38%, to $4.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $3.4 million for the corresponding period in 2016.

Interest expense for the Carillon Point, FRP Collection, 5090 N 40th St, SanTan and 2525 McKinnon property level debt increased by $0.2 million, $0.3 million, $0.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million respectively in 2017. Offsetting these increase, Corporate Parkway interest expense decreased $0.2 million due to the sale of the property in June 2016 and operating line interest decreased by $0.1 million due to the capital raise which occurred in January 2017.
Net Gain on the Sale of Real Estate Property. Net gain on the sale of real estate property relates to the sale of 2 buildings in our AmberGlen complex in May 2017. In the prior year, amounts relate to the sale of Corporate Parkway in June 2016.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. On June 28, 2017 we received a $2 million refund from a third party escrow account related to the Park Tower acquisition when certain leasing thresholds were not achieved as a condition of that purchase in the prior year. No similar arrangements were in place in the prior year.

Total operating expenses increased by $8.2 million, or 23%, to $43.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, from $35.5 million for the same period in 2016, primarily due to the property acquisitions described above offset by the external advisor acquisition costs of $7.0 million which occurred on February 1, 2016. Total operating expenses increased by $1.4 million, $3.0 million, $4.6 million, $1.7 million, $3.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively, from the acquisitions of Carillon Point, FRP Collection, Park Tower, 5090 N 40th St, SanTan and 2525 McKinnon. Corporate Parkway decreased operating expenses by $1.1 million due to the sale of the property in June 2016. The remaining property operating expenses were relatively unchanged, in comparison to the prior year.

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses are comprised mainly of building common area and maintenance expenses, insurance, property taxes, property management fees, as well as certain expenses that are not recoverable from tenants, the majority of which are related to costs necessary to maintain the appearance and marketability of vacant space. In the normal course of business, property expenses fluctuate and are impacted by various factors including, but not limited to, occupancy levels, weather, utility costs, repairs, maintenance and releasing costs. Property operating expenses increased $7.9 million, or 64%, to $20.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 from $12.4 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in property operating expenses was primarily due to the acquisitions described above. The acquisition of the Carillon Point, FRP Collection, Park Tower, 5090 N 40th St, SanTan and 2525 McKinnon properties contributed an additional $0.7 million, $1.1 million, $2.4 million, $0.8 million, $1.3 million and $0.8 million in additional property operating expenses, respectively.
Acquisition Costs. Acquisition costs were $0 for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.1 million in the prior year. The company early adopted ASU 2017-01 and therefore costs associated with acquisitions are capitalized for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as part of the acquisition costs as required under the accounting for an asset acquisition.
Base Management Fee. Base Management Fee was $0 for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 representing the fee paid to our former external advisor. Effective February 1, 2016, with the acquisition of the external advisor, no base management fees will be paid going forward.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million, or 36%, to $3.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. The increase is primarily attributable to payroll and other costs which the external advisor paid prior to February 1, 2016 and which the Company will pay going forward following the Internalization. Included in general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Certain prior year amounts related to stock-based compensation expenses have been reclassified to general and administrative expenses to conform to current period presentation.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $6.5 million, or 50%, to $19.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $13.1 million for the same period in 2016, primarily due to the addition of the Carillon Point, FRP Collection, Park Tower, 5090 N 40th St, SanTan and 2525 McKinnon properties offset by a decrease at Washington Group Plaza which ceased depreciation during the quarter due to the classification as held for sale and Corporate Parkway which decreased by $1.1 million due to the sale of the property in June 2016.
Other Expense (Income)
Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $1.7 million, or 23%, to $9.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $7.4 million for the corresponding period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to interest expense related to acquisitions. Interest expense for the Carillon Point, FRP Collection, 5090 N 40th St, SanTan and 2525 McKinnon property level debt increased by $0.3 million, $0.6 million, $0.4 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million respectively in 2017. Offsetting these increase, Corporate Parkway interest expense decreased $0.4 million due to the sale of the property in June 2016 and operating line interest decreased by $0.6 million due to the capital raise which occurred in January 2017.
Net Gain on the Sale of Real Estate Property. Net gain on the sale of real estate property relates to the sale of 2 buildings in our AmberGlen complex in May 2017. In the prior year, amounts relate to the sale of Corporate Parkway in June 2016.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration. On June 28, 2017 we received a $2 million refund from a third party escrow account related to the Park Tower acquisition when certain leasing thresholds were not achieved as a condition to that purchase in the prior year. No similar arrangements were in place in the prior year.
Cash Flows
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
Cash and cash equivalents were $68.1 million and $7.7 million as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.
Cash flow from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $10.3 million to $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.6 million for the same period in 2016. The increase was mainly attributable to an increase in operating cash flows from the new acquisitions, offset by payment of the fair value of earn-out.
Cash flow to investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $45.3 million to $34.9 million used for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $10.4 million provided by investing activities for the same period in 2016. The increase was primarily due to the of the acquisition of 2525 McKinnon.
Cash flow from financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $89.9 million to $77.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $12.5 million used for the same period in 2016. Cash flow from financing activities increased primarily due to proceeds from a public offering of our common stock that closed in January 2017, and proceeds from new mortgage payables, offset by repayment of borrowings from Secured Credit Facility

On January 13, 2017, the Company completed a public offering pursuant to which the Company sold 5,750,000 shares of its common stock to the public at a price of $12.40 per share, inclusive of the overallotment option.

Interest is payable at a fixed rate of 4.00% per annum. In connection with the financing Central Fairwinds was removed as collateral on the Secured Credit Facility.
On June 16, 2017, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into separate equity distribution agreements (the Sales Agreements) with each of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and BMO Capital Markets Corp. (collectively, the Sales Agents), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time to time up to 6,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and up to 1,000,000 shares of its 6.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (collectively, the Shares), through the Sales Agents, acting as agents or principals (the ATM Program). In connection with the ATM Program, the Company filed Articles Supplementary pursuant to which the Company increased the authorized number of shares of 6.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to 5,600,000.
Pursuant to the Sales Agreements, the Shares may be offered and sold through the Sales Agents in transactions that are deemed to be at the market offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or, with the prior consent of the Company, in privately negotiated transactions. The Sales Agents will be entitled to compensation of up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of Shares sold through the Sales Agents from time to time under the Sales Agreements. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the Sales Agreements and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under, or terminate, the Sales Agreements.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, we did not sell any Shares under the ATM Program.
Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, proceeds from our public offerings, including under our ATM program, and borrowings under our mortgage loans and Secured Credit Facility.

Table of Contents
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our Secured Credit Facility pending longer term financing.
We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity securities. However, we cannot assure you that this is or will continue to be the case. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to access the equity capital markets is dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.
Consolidated Indebtedness as of June 30, 2017

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Inflation
Substantially all of our office leases provide for real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by these contractual rent increases and expense escalations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We have used, and will use, derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge interest rate risks related to borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. We have entered, and we will only enter into, contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. As of June 30, 2017, our Company did not have any outstanding derivatives.
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.We consider our interest rate exposure to be minimal because as of June 30, 2017, approximately $415.9 million, or 100%, of our debt had fixed interest rates. A 10% increase in LIBOR would not impact our interest costs on debt outstanding as of June 30, 2017, but would decrease the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as increase interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Secured Credit Facility.
29
Table of Contents
Interest risk amounts are our managements estimates based on our Companys capital structure and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. We may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our Companys financial structure.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on the most recent evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of June 30, 2017.
