We amortize the value of in-place leases, in-place tenant improvements, and in-place leasing commissions to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. The tenant relationship values are amortized to expense over the tenants’ respective initial lease terms and any anticipated renewal periods, but in no event does the amortization period for intangible assets or liabilities exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the acquired lease intangibles related to that tenant would be charged to expense. The estimated remaining average useful lives for acquired lease intangibles range from an ending date of October 2017 to an ending date of June 2027.

Impairment of Real Estate-Related Assets
For our consolidated real estate assets, we monitor events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying amounts of the real estate assets may not be recoverable. When such events or changes in circumstances are present, we assess potential impairment by comparing estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated over the life of the asset including its eventual disposition, to the carrying amount of the asset. In the event that the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows and also exceeds the fair value of the asset, we recognize an impairment loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated fair value. Our process to estimate the fair value of an asset involves using bona fide purchase offers or the expected sales price of an executed sales agreement, which would be considered Level 1 or Level 2 assumptions within the fair value hierarchy. To the extent that this type of third-party information is unavailable, we estimate projected cash flows and a risk-adjusted rate of return that we believe would be used by a third party market participant in estimating the fair value of an asset. This is considered a Level 3 assumption within the fair value hierarchy. These projected cash flows are prepared internally by the Company’s asset management professionals and are updated quarterly to reflect in-place and projected leasing activity, market revenue and expense growth rates, market capitalization rates, discount rates, and changes in economic and other relevant conditions. The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President - Accounting, and Managing Director - Asset Management review these projected cash flows to assure that the valuation is prepared using reasonable inputs and assumptions which are consistent with market data or with assumptions that would be used by a third party market participant and assume the highest and best use of the real estate investment. We had
no
impairment charges for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
.
For the
nine months ended September 30, 2016
, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge totaling approximately
$9.0 million
related to the impairment of consolidated real estate assets assessed for impairment due to a change in management’s estimate of the intended hold periods.
For our unconsolidated real estate assets, at each reporting date we compare the estimated fair value of our investment to the carrying amount. An impairment charge is recorded to the extent the fair value of our investment is less than the carrying amount and the decline in value is determined to be other than a temporary decline. We had
no
impairment charges related to our investments in unconsolidated entities for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
.
In evaluating our investments for impairment, management makes several estimates and assumptions, including, but not limited to, the projected date of disposition (the intended hold period) and sales price for each property, the estimated future cash flows of each property during our estimated ownership period, and for unconsolidated investments, the estimated future distributions from the investment. A change in these estimates and assumptions could result in understating or overstating the carrying amount of our investments which could be material to our financial statements.
We undergo continuous evaluations of property level performance, credit market conditions, and financing options. If our assumptions regarding the cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of our properties decrease or our expected hold periods decrease, we may incur future impairment charges on our real estate-related assets. In addition, we may incur impairment charges on assets classified as held for sale in the future if the carrying amount of the asset upon classification as held for sale exceeds the estimated fair value, less costs to sell.
Hurricane Harvey
During the third quarter of 2017, One & Two Eldridge Place and Three Eldridge Place (collectively known as the “Eldridge Properties”), located in Houston, Texas, experienced flood-related damage as a result of Hurricane Harvey and its aftermath. We carry comprehensive property, casualty, flood, and business interruption insurance that we anticipate will cover our losses at the properties, subject to a deductible. Based on management’s estimates, we recognized approximately
$15.0 million
for the write-off of the net book value of damaged assets as of September 30, 2017, and we incurred approximately
$2.7 million
of restoration costs during the three months ended September 30, 2017.
The write-off of the net book value of damaged assets and the restoration costs incurred during the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, have been offset by an estimated insurance recovery of approximately
$17.7 million
. Since we determined that it was probable of receipt, the estimated insurance recovery was recorded as a receivable as of September 30, 2017, and is included in “accounts receivable, net” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent to September 30, 2017, we have received approximately
$3.0 million
of these insurance recoveries.
To the extent that insurance proceeds ultimately exceed (1) the difference between the replacement costs and the net book value of damaged assets plus (2) the restoration costs incurred, the excess (net of the deductible) will be reflected as income in the period insurance proceeds are received or when receipt is deemed probable to occur.
In addition, we recognized approximately
$1.9 million
of business interruption losses for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
, related to rent abatements provided to tenants because the properties were inaccessible for a portion of the quarter. These abatements were a reduction to “rental revenue” on our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We expect these losses to be recovered from insurance proceeds in subsequent quarters. These proceeds will be recognized as “rental revenue” in the period received.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash
We consider investments in highly-liquid money market funds or investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes restricted money market accounts, as required by our lenders or by leases, for anticipated tenant improvements, property taxes and insurance, certain tenant security deposits, and additional loan security reserves.
We early adopted new Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on December 31, 2016, which changes the presentation of our statements of cash flows and related disclosures for all periods presented, and accordingly, the following is a summary of our total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash as presented in our statements of cash flows for the

Our allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on management’s evaluation of accounts where it has determined that a tenant may not meet its financial obligations. In these situations, management uses its judgment, based on the facts and circumstances, and records a reserve for that tenant against amounts due to reduce the receivable to an amount it believes is collectible. These reserves are reevaluated and adjusted as additional information becomes available.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Investments in unconsolidated entities consist of our noncontrolling interests in properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. We use the equity method of accounting when we have significant influence, but not control, of the operating and financial decisions of these investments and thereby have some responsibility to create a return on our investment. The equity method of accounting requires these investments to be initially recorded at cost and subsequently increased (decreased) for our share of net income (loss), including eliminations for our share of inter-company transactions, and increased (decreased) for contributions (distributions). To the extent that we contribute assets to an unconsolidated entity, our investment in the unconsolidated entity is recorded at our cost basis in the assets that were contributed to the entity. To the extent that our cost basis is different than the basis reflected at the entity level, the basis difference is generally amortized over the life of the related asset and included in our share of equity in operations of investments.
For unconsolidated investments that have properties under development, we capitalize interest expense to our investment basis using our weighted average interest rate of consolidated debt. Capitalization begins when we are engaged in the activities necessary to get the property ready for its intended use. We cease capitalization when the development is completed and ready for its intended use or if the intended use changes such that capitalization is no longer appropriate. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and 2016, we capitalized interest expense of approximately
$1.0 million
and
$0.5 million
, respectively, for unconsolidated entities with properties under development, which is included in our investments in unconsolidated entities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Other Intangible Assets, net
Other intangible assets consist of below-market ground leases on properties where a third party owns and has leased the underlying land to us. As of
September 30, 2017

Revenue Recognition
We recognize rental income generated from all leases of consolidated real estate assets on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, including the effect of rent holidays, if any. The total net increase to rental revenue due to straight-line rent adjustments for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, was approximately
$2.3 million
and
$0.3 million
, respectively. The total net increase to rental revenue due to straight-line rent adjustments for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, was approximately
$6.1 million
and
$4.1 million
, respectively. When a tenant exceeds its tenant improvement allowance, this amount is reimbursed to us and recorded as a deferred rent liability, which is recognized as rental revenue over the life of the lease. The total net increase to rental revenue due to this deferred rent for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, was approximately
$0.4 million
and
$0.6 million
, respectively. The total net increase to rental revenue due to this deferred rent for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, was approximately
$1.4 million
and
$2.5 million
, respectively. Our rental revenue also includes amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases. The total net increase to rental revenue due to the amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, was approximately
$1.1 million
and
$0.9 million
, respectively. The total net increase to rental revenue due to the amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, was approximately
$2.9 million
and
$3.4 million
, respectively. Revenues relating to lease termination fees are recognized on a straight-line basis amortized from the time that a tenant’s right to occupy the leased space is modified through the end of the revised lease term. For the
three months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, we recognized lease termination fees of approximately
$0.2 million
and
$0.3 million
, respectively. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, we recognized lease termination fees of approximately
$0.5 million
and
$1.6 million
, respectively.
3. New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance which affects accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments for employees. The guidance requires income statement recognition of income tax effects of the awards when the awards vest or are settled. The guidance also changes the employer’s accounting for forfeitures as well as for an employee’s use of shares to satisfy their income tax withholding obligations. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance using the “modified retrospective” approach on January 1, 2017, and recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of approximately
$0.3 million
to retained earnings to recognize forfeitures as they occur.
In March 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance which simplifies the accounting for equity method investments by removing the requirement that an entity retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting if an investment qualifies for use of the equity method as a result of an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. The amendment requires that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2017, did not have a material impact on our financial statements or disclosures.
New Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and to develop a common revenue standard for GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. Lease contracts will be excluded from this
revenue recognition criteria; however, the sale of real estate will be required to follow the new model. Expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures regarding revenue recognition will be required for contracts that are subject to this guidance. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years, or “full retrospective” and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards, or “modified retrospective.” We expect to adopt this guidance using the “modified retrospective” approach effective January 1, 2018. We continue to evaluate the impact the guidance will have on our financial statements when adopted, but we believe the impact could primarily relate to revenue streams generated from activities other than leasing, such as development fees, sales of properties, and timing of revenue recognition.
In February 2016, the FASB issued updated guidance which sets out revised principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The guidance requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for operating leases with lease terms greater than twelve months on the balance sheet. The guidance modifies lessors’ classification criteria for leases and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The guidance also makes changes to lessor accounting and reporting, specifically the classification of lease components and non-lease components, such as services provided to tenants. New disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases are also required. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted and is required to be adopted using the “modified retrospective” approach. We expect to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2019. Upon adoption, the Company will recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset for operating leases where it is the lessee, such as ground leases and office and equipment leases. For leases in which we are the lessor, we currently expect to separate lease components from non-lease components (such as common area maintenance), which will then be evaluated under the revenue recognition guidance described above. We continue to evaluate the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements when adopted.
In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance which requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This is different from the current guidance as this will require immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of many financial assets. Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost will be required to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with an allowance for credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. Generally, the pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements when adopted.
In August 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows. Of the eight types of cash flows discussed in the new standard, we believe the classification of debt prepayment and debt extinguishment costs as financing outflows will impact the Company as these items are currently reflected as operating outflows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted and is required to be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. We will continue to evaluate the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements when adopted.
In February 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance that clarifies the scope of asset derecognition guidance, adds guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets and clarifies recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements when adopted.
In May 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance on applying modification accounting to changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. Under the new guidance, modification accounting is required only if the fair value, the vesting conditions, or the classification of the award (as equity or liability) changes as a result of the change in terms or conditions. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements when adopted.
In August 2017, the FASB issued updated guidance to simplify the application of hedge accounting, increase transparency as to the scope and results of hedging programs, and result in a more accurate portrayal of the economics of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. The transition guidance provides the option of early adoption using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This adoption method will require recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that the update is adopted. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our financial statements when adopted.

The Louisville Portfolio consists of
five
properties located in Louisville, Kentucky.

Properties that have been sold contributed net income of less than
$0.1 million
and net loss of approximately
$3.8 million
to our net loss for the
three months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively. Properties that have been sold contributed net income of approximately
$2.5 million
and net loss of approximately
$9.2 million
to our net income (loss) for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, respectively. These amounts include charges for impairment and exclude any gains on the sales of these properties.
Acquisitions of Real Estate
On January 4, 2017, we acquired the remaining
50.16%
interest in Domain Junction LLC, the entity that owns Domain 2 and Domain 7, increasing our ownership interest in these properties to
100%
, for a contract purchase price of approximately
$51.2 million
plus assumed debt of approximately
$40.1 million
. As a result of obtaining a controlling interest in the entity, we recognized a gain of approximately
$14.2 million
from the remeasurement of our previously held equity interest at fair value. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their relative fair values upon consolidation of the properties, and include lease intangible assets of approximately
$16.6 million
and acquired below-market leases of approximately
$9.4 million
. The estimated remaining average useful lives for these acquired lease intangibles range from an ending date of December 2022 to an ending date of February 2026.
On June 23, 2017, we acquired Legacy District One for a contract purchase price of approximately
$123.3 million
, which included approximately
$66.0 million
in assumed mortgage debt secured by the property. Legacy District One is located in Plano, Texas, and contains approximately
319,000
rentable square feet. The debt matures in January 2023 and has a fixed stated annual interest rate of
4.24%
. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their relative fair values and include lease intangible assets of approximately
$20.0 million
and acquired below-market leases of approximately
$6.4 million
. The estimated remaining average useful lives for these acquired lease intangibles all have an ending date of June 2027.
Real Estate Held for Sale
We had
no
properties held for sale as of

Real Estate Under Development
When we are engaged in activities to get a potential development ready for its intended use, we capitalize interest, property taxes, insurance, ground lease payments, and direct construction costs. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
, we capitalized a total of approximately
$18.3 million
, including approximately
$0.9 million
in interest. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2016
, we capitalized a total of approximately
$7.8 million
, which included approximately
$0.2 million
capitalized interest. These costs are classified as real estate under development on our condensed consolidated balance sheets until such time that the development is complete.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We participate in real estate ventures for the purpose of acquiring and developing office properties in which we may or may not have a controlling financial interest. Our investments in unconsolidated entities consist of our noncontrolling interests in certain properties that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

On January 4, 2017, we acquired our unrelated third party’s
50.16%
interest in Domain Junction LLC increasing our ownership interest to
100%
, and these properties were consolidated.

|
All major decisions for this entity are made by the other owner.
|

|
We have evaluated our investments in unconsolidated entities in order to determine if they are VIEs. Based on our assessment, we have identified each of these entities as a VIE, but we are not the primary beneficiary, as we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. For these VIEs in which we are not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, we continue to account for them using the equity method. The maximum amount of exposure to loss with respect to these VIEs is the carrying amount of our investment. At
September 30, 2017
, these VIEs have total assets of approximately
$82.1 million
and total liabilities of approximately
$87.6 million
. At
December 31, 2016
, our VIEs had total assets of approximately
$353.5 million
and total liabilities of approximately
$262.8 million
.
|
|
|
(4)
|
On March 31, 2017, we sold a
50%
interest in the entity that owns a
95%
interest in Third + Shoal, resulting in this property being deconsolidated as control of this property is now shared.
|
|
|
(5)
|
On April 27, 2017, the Colorado Building and 1325 G Street were sold for a combined contract sales price of
$259.0 million
(at 100%).
|
|
|
(6)
|
On January 17, 2017, we sold substantially all of our noncontrolling investment in 1301 Chestnut Associates, L.P. At
September 30, 2017
, our remaining
1.1%
interest is accounted for using the cost method and is included in “prepaid expenses and other assets” on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
|
|
|
(7)
|
Our investment in unconsolidated entities at
September 30, 2017
, and December 31, 2016, includes basis adjustments that total approximately
$9.1 million
and
$7.2 million
, respectively. These amounts represent the aggregate difference between our historical cost basis and our equity basis reflected at the joint venture level, which is typically amortized over the life of the related assets and liabilities. Basis differences occur from impairment of investments and upon the transfer of assets that were previously owned by us into a joint venture. In addition, certain acquisition, transaction, and other costs may not be reflected in the net assets at the joint venture level.
|
Our equity in operations of investments represents our proportionate share of the combined earnings and losses of our investments for the period of our ownership and in 2017, include combined gains on the sales of 1325 G Street and the Colorado Building of approximately
$6.7 million
. For the
three months ended September 30, 2017
and 2016, we recorded income of approximately
$0.1 million
and
$0.6 million
, respectively, for our share of equity in operations from our investments in unconsolidated entities. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and 2016, we recorded income of approximately
$6.4 million
and
$1.9 million
, respectively, for our share of equity in operations from our investments in unconsolidated entities.
7.
Notes Payable, net
Our notes payable, net were approximately
$782.4 million
as of
September 30, 2017
. Approximately
$191.7 million
of these notes payable, net were secured by real estate assets with a carrying value of approximately
$253.5 million
as of
September 30, 2017
. As of
September 30, 2017
, all of our outstanding debt was fixed rate debt (or effectively fixed rate debt, through the use of interest rate swaps), with the exception of approximately
$73.0 million
. As of
September 30, 2017
, the stated annual interest rates on our outstanding debt, ranged from approximately
2.59%
to
6.09%
. As of
September 30, 2017
, the effective weighted average interest rate for our debt is approximately
3.74%
. For our loan that is in default and detailed below, we incur a default interest rate that is 500 basis points higher than the stated interest rate, which resulted in an overall effective weighted average interest rate of approximately
4.05%
as of
September 30, 2017
, for our debt and additional interest expense of approximately
$1.8 million
for the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
. We anticipate, although we can provide no assurance, that when the property to which such loan relates is sold, or if ownership of this property is conveyed to the lender, the default interest will be forgiven.
Our loan agreements generally require us to comply with certain reporting and financial covenants. As of
September 30, 2017
, we were in default on a non-recourse property loan with an outstanding balance of approximately
$48.2 million
secured by our Fifth Third Center property located in Columbus, Ohio, which has a carrying value of approximately
$32.8 million
as of
September 30, 2017
. A receiver was appointed for this property in March 2016. The loan had an original maturity date of July 2016, and we are currently working with the lender to dispose of this property on its behalf, although there can be no assurance regarding such disposition. As of
September 30, 2017
, other than the default discussed above, we believe we were in compliance with the covenants under each of our loan agreements, including our credit facility.
Excluding debt already matured as detailed above, our outstanding debt has maturity dates that range from December 2018 to January 2023. The following table provides information regarding the timing of principal payments of our notes payable, net as of
September 30, 2017

|
Credit Facility
We have a credit agreement through our operating partnership, Tier OP, that provides for total unsecured borrowings of up to
$860.0 million
, subject to our compliance with certain financial covenants. The facility consists of a
$300.0 million
term loan, a
$275.0 million
term loan, and a
$285.0 million
revolving line of credit. The first term loan matures on December 18, 2019. The second term loan matures on June 30, 2022. The revolving line of credit matures on December 18, 2018, and can be extended
one
additional year subject to certain conditions and payment of an extension fee. The annual interest rate on the credit facility is equal to either, at our election, (1) the “base rate” (calculated as the greatest of (i) the agent’s “prime rate”; (ii)
0.5%
above the Federal Funds Effective Rate; or (iii) the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus
1.0%
) plus the applicable margin or (2) LIBOR for an interest period of
one
,
three
, or
six
months plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin will be determined based on the ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value and ranges from 35 basis points to 250 basis points. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge interest rates on
$525.0 million
of these borrowings to manage our exposure to future interest rate movements. All amounts owed are guaranteed by us and certain subsidiaries of Tier OP. As of
September 30, 2017
, we had approximately
$575.0 million
in borrowings outstanding under the term loans, and
$23.0 million
in borrowings outstanding under the revolving line of credit with the ability, subject to our most restrictive financial covenants, to borrow an additional approximately
$242.8 million
under the facility as a whole. As of
September 30, 2017
, the weighted average effective interest rate for borrowings under the credit facility as a whole, inclusive of our interest rate swaps, was approximately
3.22%
.
8. Fair Value Measurements
Fair value, as defined by GAAP, is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) has been established.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Derivative financial instruments
We use derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
We incorporate credit valuation adjustments (“CVAs”) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the CVAs associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the CVAs on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that they are not significant. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains or losses on derivatives are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) within equity at each measurement date. Our derivative financial instruments are included in “prepaid expenses and other assets” and “other liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which equals book value, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of
September 30, 2017
, and
December 31, 2016
(in thousands).

Financial Instruments not Reported at Fair Value
Financial instruments held at
September 30, 2017
, and
December 31, 2016
, but not measured at fair value on a recurring basis include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, distributions payable, and other liabilities. With the exception of notes payable, the financial statement carrying amounts of these items approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Estimated fair values for notes payable have been determined using recent trading activity and/or bid-ask spreads and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

9. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We may be exposed to the risk associated with variability of interest rates that might impact our cash flows and the results of our operations. Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we have used interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Our interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from counterparties in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Our hedging strategy of entering into interest rate swaps, therefore, is to eliminate or reduce, to the extent possible, the volatility of cash flows.
The following table summarizes the notional values of our derivative financial instruments (in thousands) as of
September 30, 2017
. The notional values provide an indication of the extent of our involvement in these instruments at
September 30, 2017
, but do not represent exposure to credit, interest rate, or market risks.

Represents the portion of the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps as (income) or expense attributable to the mismatch between an interest rate floor on our hedged debt and no floor on the index rate in our interest rate swaps which causes hedge ineffectiveness.
|
Amounts reported in accumulated OCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments and accruals are made on our variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that approximately
$1.4 million
will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
We have agreements with our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness for at least
30
days, during which time such default has not been remedied, and in all cases provided that the aggregate amount of all such defaults is not less than
$10.0 million
for recourse debt or
$75.0 million
for non-recourse debt, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.
As of
September 30, 2017
, we had not been declared in default on any of our derivative obligations. As of
September 30, 2017
, the fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was approximately
$0.3 million
. As of
September 30, 2017
, we have not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If we had breached any of these provisions at
September 30, 2017
, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at the termination value of approximately
$0.3 million
.
10. Commitments and Contingencies
As of
September 30, 2017
, we had commitments of approximately
$19.7 million
for future tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
We have employment agreements with
five
of our executive officers. The term of each employment agreement ends on February 10, 2020, provided that the term will automatically continue for an additional
one
-year period unless either party provides
60
days written notice of non-renewal prior to the expiration of the initial term. The agreements provide for lump sum payments and an immediate lapse of restrictions on compensation received under the long-term incentive plan upon termination of employment without cause. As a result, in the event we terminated all of these agreements without cause as of
September 30, 2017
, we would have recognized approximately
$12.7 million
in related compensation expense.
11.
Equity
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
As of December 31, 2015, we had
10,000
shares of Series A participating, voting, convertible preferred stock (the “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”) outstanding. In connection with the listing of our common stock on the NYSE on July 23, 2015, an automatic conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was triggered with the number of shares to be issued not determinable until March 2, 2016, based on the Conversion Company Value, as defined in the Articles Supplementary. On March 2, 2016, based on the Conversion Company Value,
no
shares of common stock were issued, and the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were canceled.
Stock Plans
Our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan allows for, and our 2005 Incentive Award Plan allowed for, equity-based incentive awards to be granted to our employees, non-employee directors, and key persons as detailed below:
Stock options.
As of
September 30, 2017
, we had
no
outstanding stock options. As of
September 30, 2016
, we had outstanding options held by our independent directors to purchase
8,330
shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of approximately
$40.13
per share.
Restricted stock units.
We have outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) held by our independent directors. These units vest
13 months
after the grant date. Subsequent to vesting, the restricted stock units will be converted to an equivalent number of shares of common stock upon the earlier to occur of the following events or dates: (i) separation from service for any reason other than cause; (ii) a change in control of the Company; (iii) death; or (iv) specific dates chosen by the independent directors that range from February 2018 to June 2018. Expense is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized over the vesting period. Any forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur.
The following is a summary of the number of outstanding RSUs held by our independent directors as of
September 30, 2017
and
2016

As of

,
none
of the RSUs held by our independent directors are vested.
|
In 2016,
111,063
RSUs were issued to employees with a grant price of
$15.26
per unit. During the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
,
97,557
RSUs were issued to employees with a weighted average grant price of
$18.10
per unit. These units vest on December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019, respectively, at which time they will be converted into a number of shares of common stock, which could range from
zero
shares to
222,126
shares at December 31, 2018, and
zero
shares to
195,114
shares at December 31, 2019. The actual number of shares of common stock issued will be based on our annualized total stockholder return (“TSR”) percentage as compared to
three
metrics: our TSR on a predetermined absolute basis, the TSR of the constituent companies of the NAREIT Office Index (unweighted), and the TSR of a select group of peer companies. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award (
$19.18
per unit for the 2016 grants and
$20.95
per unit for the 2017 grants) as determined by a Monte Carlo simulation-based model using the assumptions outlined in the table below. Any forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur.

Restricted stock.
We have outstanding restricted stock held by employees. Restrictions on outstanding shares lapse based on various lapse schedules and range from December 2017 to May 2020. Compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the estimated fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the service period based on a tiered lapse schedule. Any forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur.

For both the
three months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, we recognized a total of approximately
$1.1 million
for compensation expense related to the amortization of all of the equity-based incentive awards outlined above. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
, we recognized a total of approximately
$3.0 million
and
$3.1 million
, respectively, for compensation expense related to the amortization of all of the equity-based incentive awards outlined above. As of
September 30, 2017
, the total remaining compensation cost on unvested awards was approximately
$4.6 million
, with a weighted average remaining contractual life of approximately
1.2
years.
12. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is calculated using the two-class method, which requires the allocation of undistributed net income between common and participating stockholders. All outstanding restricted stock awards containing rights to non-forfeitable distributions are considered participating securities for this calculation. In periods of net loss, no loss is allocated to participating securities because our participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in our losses.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2017
and
2016
(in thousands, except per share data).
