Forward Looking Statements



This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.  You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as "approximates," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "would," "could", "may", "future" or other similar expressions in this Report.  We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Report, or those that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on our beliefs and assumptions, as well as information currently available to us.  The actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control or ability to predict.  Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future performance and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect.  As a result, our actual future results can be expected to differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material.  Accordingly, investors should use caution when relying on previously reported forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following:

•
adverse economic or real estate developments in Southern California and Honolulu, Hawaii;
•
a general downturn in the economy, such as the global financial crisis that commenced in 2008;
•
decreased rental rates or increased tenant incentive and vacancy rates;
•
defaults on, early termination of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
•
increased interest rates and operating costs;
•
failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;
•
difficulties in raising capital for our unconsolidated Funds;
•
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;
•
failure to successfully operate acquired properties;
•
failure to maintain our status as a REIT under federal tax laws;
•
possible adverse changes in rent control laws and regulations;
•
environmental uncertainties;
•
risks related to natural disasters;
•
lack or insufficient amount of insurance, or changes to the cost of maintaining existing insurance coverage;
•
inability to successfully expand into new markets and submarkets;
•
risks associated with property development;
•
conflicts of interest with our officers;
•
changes in real estate zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates;
•
the negative results of litigation or governmental proceedings;
•
the consequences of any possible future terrorist attacks or wars; and
•
the consequences of any possible future cyber attacks or intrusions.

For further discussion of the above risk factors, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This Report and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.  We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report.

1. Overview

Organization and Business Description

Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. We focus on owning, acquiring, developing and managing a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities.

Through our interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, our consolidated joint ventures and our unconsolidated Funds, we own or partially own, acquire, develop and manage real estate, consisting primarily of office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii.

As of March 31, 2016, we owned a consolidated portfolio of (i) fifty-eight office properties (including ancillary retail space), which included five office properties owned by our consolidated joint ventures, (ii) ten multifamily properties and (iii) fee interests in two parcels of land subject to ground leases from which we earn ground rent income. Alongside our consolidated portfolio, we also manage and own equity interests in our unconsolidated Funds, which at March 31, 2016, owned eight additional office properties, for a combined sixty-six office properties in our total portfolio.

The terms "us," "we" and "our" as used in these financial statements refer to Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership and our consolidated joint ventures.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2016, the consolidated financial statements included one VIE, in which we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The VIE was established in the first quarter of 2016 in connection with Westwood portfolio acquisition, see Note 3. As of March 31, 2016, the impact of consolidating the VIE increased the Company’s total assets, liabilities and equity by approximately $1.43 billion million (of which $1.38 billion related to real estate held for investment), $631.7 million and $798.3 million (of which $318.6 million related to the noncontrolling interests equity), respectively.

As of March 31, 2016, the carrying value of a property that we are currently marketing was reclassified from investment in real estate to real estate held for sale in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and we reclassified the comparable period to conform to the current period presentation.

During the current reporting period, we reported our proceeds from, and repayments of, borrowings related to our credit facility on a gross basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and we reclassified the prior periods, which were previously reported on a net basis, to conform to the current period presentation. The change in presentation did not change the net cash provided by (used in) financing activities that we previously reported for the prior periods.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. Any references in this report to the number of properties, square footage, per square footage amounts, apartment units and geography, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements, in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the period covered by this Report, we have not made any material changes to our significant accounting policies included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. Provided that we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We are subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings that we derive through our TRS.

New Accounting Pronouncements 

Changes to GAAP are established by the FASB in the form ASUs.  We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20)", which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. The Board is issuing this Update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us is the first quarter of 2016. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (Consolidation - Topic 810)", which provides guidance regarding the consolidation of certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us is the first quarter of 2016. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments", which amends "Business Combinations" (Topic 805). The ASU requires that an acquirer (i) recognize adjustments to provisional amounts from business combinations that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, (ii) record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date and (iii) disclose of the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us is the first quarter of 2016. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, "Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships", which amends "Derivatives and Hedging" (Topic 815). The ASU provides guidance on the effect of derivative contract novations on existing hedge accounting relationships. The ASU clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815, does not in and of itself require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities" which amends "Financial Instruments - Overall" (Subtopic 825-10). The amendments in this Update address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2018. The amendments in this Update should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption, and early adoption is permitted under certain circumstances. We do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842). The ASU increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB has created Topic 842. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. For example, the vast majority of operating leases will remain classified as operating leases, and lessors will continue to recognize lease income for those leases on a generally straight-line basis over the lease term. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2019, and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. We do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-07, "Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting" which amends "Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures" (Topic 323). The ASU simplifies the transition to the equity method of accounting by eliminating 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 ASU 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 qualifies for equity method accounting. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively. We do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)" which amends "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606). The ASU clarifies the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2018, and early adoption is permitted commencing the first quarter of 2017. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" which amends "Compensation-Stock Compensation" (Topic 718). This ASU simplifies the accounting for several aspects of share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The ASU amendments are applied on a prospective or retrospective basis depending on the specific amendment. We do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

The FASB has not issued any other ASUs during 2016 that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our future financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

2016 First Quarter Acquisitions

Acquisition of the Westwood Portfolio

On February 29, 2016, a consolidated joint venture which we manage and own an equity interest in, acquired four class A multi-tenant office properties located in Westwood, California (Westwood Portfolio) for a contract price of $1.34 billion or approximately $777 per square foot. As of the acquisition date, we contributed sixty percent of the equity to the joint venture, but are scheduled to reduce that investment to 30% during the second quarter of 2016. See Note 17.

The table below (in thousands) summarizes our preliminary purchase accounting and funding sources for the acquisition (the purchase accounting is subject to adjustment within twelve months of the acquisition date):

5. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds

Description of our Funds

We manage and own equity interests in two unconsolidated Funds, Fund X and Partnership X, through which we and investors own eight office properties totaling 1.8 million square feet.  At March 31, 2016, we held equity interests of 68.61% of Fund X and 24.25% of Partnership X.

Our Funds pay us fees and reimburse us for certain expenses related to property management and other services we provide to the Funds. We also receive distributions based on invested capital and on any profits that exceed certain specified cash returns to the investors. The table below presents (in thousands) cash distributions received from our Funds:

Notes receivable

In April 2013, we loaned $2.9 million to a related party investor in connection with a capital call made by Fund X. The loan carried interest at one month LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum, and was due and payable no later than April 1, 2017, with mandatory prepayments equal to any distributions with respect the related party's interest in Fund X. In November 2015, we loaned $0.5 million to Partnership X to fund working capital. The loan carried interest at one month LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum, and was due and payable no later than March 31, 2016. Both of the outstanding loans were repaid in full during the first quarter of 2016. The outstanding balance of the Fund X and Partnership X loans at December 31, 2015 were $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, and were included in our investment in our unconsolidated funds on our balance sheet. The interest income recognized on these notes receivable is included in Other income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

9. Derivative Contracts

Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

We make use of interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts to manage the risk associated with changes in interest rates on our floating-rate debt. When we enter into a floating-rate term loan, we generally enter into an interest rate swap agreement for the equivalent principal amount, for a period covering the majority of the loan term, which effectively converts our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis during that time. In limited instances, we make use of interest rate caps to limit our exposure to interest rate increases on our floating-rate debt. We do not speculate in derivatives and we do not make use of any other derivative instruments. See Note 7 for the details of our floating-rate debt that we have hedged.

Accounting for Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

When we enter into derivative agreements, we generally elect to have them designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. For hedging instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), which is a component of equity outside of earnings, and any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded as interest expense. Amounts recorded in AOCI related to our designated hedges are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the hedged floating rate debt. Amounts reported in AOCI related to our unconsolidated Funds' hedges are reclassified to income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds, as interest payments are made by our Funds on their hedged floating rate debt. For hedging instruments which are not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are recorded as interest expense. We present our derivatives, including the derivative of our consolidated joint venture, on our consolidated balance sheet at fair value on a gross basis. Our share of the AOCI related to our unconsolidated Funds' derivatives is included in our investment in unconsolidated real estate funds on our consolidated balance sheet.

Summary of our derivatives

As of March 31, 2016, all of our interest rate swaps, including our unconsolidated Funds' interest rate swaps, were designated as cash flow hedges:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

We have agreements with each of our interest rate swap counterparties that contain a provision under which we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations if we default on the underlying indebtedness that we are hedging. As of March 31, 2016, there have been no events of default with respect to our interest rate swaps or our unconsolidated Funds' interest rate swaps.

10.  Equity

Equity Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we (i) acquired 0.4 million OP Units in exchange for issuing to the holders of the OP Units an equal number of shares of our common stock, and (ii) issued 24 thousand shares of our common stock for the exercise of 65 thousand stock options. In connection with the acquisition of the Westwood Portfolio, an investor contributed $320.0 million to the joint venture for a forty-percent ownership interest, and we expect an additional investor to acquire a 30% interest in this joint venture during the second quarter of 2016, reducing our ownership interest to thirty percent. See Note 3 and 17.

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we (i) acquired 0.9 million OP Units in exchange for issuing to the holders of the OP Units an equal number of shares of our common stock and (ii) issued 136 thousand shares of our common stock for the exercise of options for net proceeds of $1.8 million at an average price of $13.44 per option. In addition, we issued 34 thousand OP Units valued at $1.0 million in connection with the acquisition of land under one of our office buildings.

Noncontrolling Interests

Our noncontrolling interests consist of (i) interests in our Operating Partnership which are not owned by us, (ii) a joint venture investor who owns a forty-percent interest in a consolidated joint venture that acquired the Westwood Portfolio (see Note 3) and (iii) a minority partner's one-third interest in a consolidated joint venture which owns an office building in Honolulu, Hawaii. Noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership consist of OP Units and fully-vested LTIP Units and represented approximately 15% of our Operating Partnership's total interests as of March 31, 2016 when we and our Operating Partnership had 147.4 million shares of common stock and 26.2 million OP Units and LTIP Units outstanding, respectively. A share of our common stock, an OP Unit and an LTIP Unit (once vested and booked up) have essentially the same economic characteristics, sharing equally in the distributions from our Operating Partnership.  Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem their OP Units for an amount of cash per unit equal to the market value of one share of our common stock at the date of redemption, or, at our election, exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. LTIP Units have been granted to our key employees and non-employee directors as part of their compensation. These awards generally vest over the service period and once vested can generally be converted to OP Units.

Equity Compensation

The Douglas Emmett, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, our stock incentive plan, is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors.  All officers, employees, directors and consultants are eligible to participate in our stock incentive plan.  For more information on our stock incentive plan, please refer to Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Total net stock-based compensation expense for equity grants was $2.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These amounts are net of capitalized stock-based compensation of $217 thousand and $193 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

11. EPS

We calculate basic EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. We account for unvested LTIP awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. The table below presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and widely used valuation methods.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and determine an estimated fair value.  The use of different market assumptions or valuation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The FASB fair value framework hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity, and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs.  The hierarchy is as follows:
 
Level 1 - inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  
Level 2 - inputs are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.  
Level 3 - inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity

As of March 31, 2016, we did not have any fair value measurements of financial instruments using Level 3 inputs.

Financial instruments disclosed at fair value

Short term financial instruments: The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, revolving credit lines, interest payable, accounts payable, security deposits and dividends payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Secured notes payable: See Note 7 for the details of our secured notes payable. We estimate the fair value of our secured notes payable, which includes the secured notes payable of our consolidated joint ventures, by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the principal and interest payments for each secured note payable. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, assumes that the loans will be outstanding through maturity, and excludes any maturity extension options. The table below presents (in thousands) the estimated fair value of our secured notes payable:

Derivative instruments: See Note 9 for the details of our derivatives. We present our derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, on a gross basis, excluding accrued interest.  We estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the expected future cash flows of each derivative.  The calculation incorporates the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments to reflect the counterparty's as well as our own nonperformance risk. Our derivatives are not subject to master netting arrangements.  The table below presents (in thousands) the estimated fair value of our derivatives:

13. Segment Reporting

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes.  We operate in two business segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily real estate.  The services for our office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.  The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.

Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources.  Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments.  General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

Segment profit is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  Not all companies may calculate segment profit in the same manner.  We consider segment profit to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it can assist both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties.

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.  Excluding ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Concentration of Risk

We are subject to credit risk with respect to our tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables related to our tenant leases. Our tenants' ability to honor the terms of their respective leases remains dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors. We seek to minimize our credit risk from our tenant leases by (i) targeting smaller, more affluent tenants, from a diverse mix of industries, (ii) performing credit evaluations of prospective tenants and (iii) obtaining security deposits from our tenants.  For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues.  

All of our properties (including the properties owned by our unconsolidated Funds) are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii, and we are dependent on the Southern California and Honolulu economies. Therefore, we are susceptible to adverse local conditions and regulations, as well as natural disasters in those areas.

We are also subject to credit risk from the counterparties on our interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts that we use to manage the risk associated with our floating rate debt. See Note 9 for the details of our interest rate contracts. We seek to
minimize our credit risk by entering into agreements with a variety of high quality counterparties with investment grade ratings.

We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at high quality financial institutions with investment grade ratings.  Interest bearing accounts at each U.S. banking institution are insured by the FDIC up to $250 thousand.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Conditional asset retirement obligations represent a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control.  A liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.  Environmental site assessments and investigations have identified twenty-five properties in our consolidated portfolio, which included two properties owned by our consolidated joint venture which acquired the Westwood Portfolio, and four properties owned by our unconsolidated Funds, which contain asbestos, and would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished.  As of March 31, 2016, the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligation.

Development Contract

We are building an additional 475 apartments (net of existing units removed) at our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu, Hawaii. We expect construction will take approximately 18 months and cost approximately $120.0 million. The $120.0 million estimated cost of the new units does not include the cost of the land which we owned before beginning the project. As of March 31, 2016, we had a commitment of $118.6 million for a contract directly related to this development project.

Guarantees

We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve- outs for loans related to both of our unconsolidated Funds. We have also guaranteed the related swaps. The entities have agreed to indemnify us for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of March 31, 2016, all obligations under these loans and swap agreements have been performed in accordance with the terms of those agreements.

Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by six properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of March 31, 2016, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were approximately $2.1 million.
(3)
Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by two properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of March 31, 2016, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were approximately $5.0 million.

17. Subsequent events

We have agreed to sell 30% of the joint venture that acquired the Westwood Portfolio for $240.0 million (the amount of our capital contribution with respect to the interest being sold) plus an additional amount equal to 2% per annum for the period from February 29, 2016 to the date of the closing of the sale (expected to occur during the second quarter of 2016). The sale will reduce our interest in the joint venture to 30%. See Note 3 for more detail regarding the joint venture involved.

Our consolidated portfolio includes all of the properties included in our consolidated results. We own 100% of these properties except for five office properties totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet, which we own through two consolidated joint ventures. Our consolidated portfolio also included two parcels of land which are ground leased to the owners of a Class A office building and a hotel.
(2)
Our total portfolio includes our consolidated portfolio plus eight properties totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet owned by our unconsolidated Funds, in which we own a weighted average of approximately 60% based on square footage. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our unconsolidated Funds.

Acquisitions and Dispositions, Financings, Developments and Repositionings
 
 
Acquisitions and Dispositions 
 
•
On February 29, 2016, a consolidated joint venture which we manage acquired four class A multi-tenant office properties located in Westwood, California (Westwood Portfolio) for a contract price of $1.34 billion or approximately $777 per square foot. As of the acquisition date, we contributed sixty percent of the equity to the joint venture, but we expect to reduce that investment to thirty-percent during the second quarter of 2016.
•
We are currently marketing a 168,000 square foot Class A office property located in Sherman Oaks that we wholly own through a consolidated subsidiary. As of March 31, 2016, the carrying value of the property was reclassified from investment in real estate to real estate held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets.
See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisition and property held for sale.

Financings  
 
•
During the first quarter of 2016, one of our consolidated joint ventures closed a seven year, non-recourse $580.0 million interest-only term loan as part of the acquisition of the Westwood Portfolio. The loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.40%, and has been effectively fixed at 2.37% per annum until March 2021 through an interest rate swap. The loan is secured by the Westwood Portfolio.
•
During the first quarter of 2016, one of our unconsolidated Funds closed a seven year, non-recourse $110.0 million interest-only term loan. The loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.40%, and has been effectively fixed at 2.30% per annum until March 2021 though an interest rate swap. The loan is secured by two office properties.

See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our debt.

Developments
We are developing two multifamily projects, one in our Brentwood submarket in Los Angeles, California and one in Honolulu, Hawaii. Each development is on land which we already own:

•
We are building an additional 475 apartments at our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu. We expect construction will take approximately 18 months and cost approximately $120 million. The $120.0 million estimated cost of the new units does not include the cost of the land which we owned before beginning the project. As of March 31, 2016, we had a commitment of $118.6 million for a contract directly related to this development project.
•
In Los Angeles, we are seeking to build a high rise apartment project with 376 residential units. Because development in our markets, particularly West Los Angeles, remains a long and uncertain process, we do not expect to break ground in Los Angeles before late 2017, even if the entitlement process is successful. We expect the cost of this development to be approximately $120 million to $140 million.

Repositionings

    We often strategically purchase properties with large vacancies or expected near-term lease roll-over and use our knowledge of the property and submarket to reposition the property for the optimal use and tenant mix. The work we undertake to reposition a building typically takes months or even years, and could involve a range of improvements from a complete structural renovation to a targeted remodeling of selected spaces. We generally select a property for repositioning at the time we purchase it, although repositioning efforts can also occur at properties that we already own. During the repositioning, the affected property may display depressed rental revenue and occupancy levels which impacts our results and, therefore, comparisons of our performance from period to period.

In addition to our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu, described above under "Developments", as of March 31, 2016, we were repositioning two properties, (i) a 661,000 square foot office property in Woodland Hills, California, which included a 35,000 square foot gym, and (ii) a 79,000 square foot office property in Honolulu, Hawaii, owned by a consolidated joint venture in which we own a two-thirds interest.

Historical Results of Operations

Portfolio Overview

Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 consisted of the rental operations of fifty-four consolidated office properties and ten consolidated multifamily properties, as well as (after the respective date of acquisition) four additional office properties that one of our consolidated joint ventures acquired on February 29, 2016. Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 consisted of the rental operations of fifty-three consolidated office properties and ten consolidated multifamily properties, as well as (after the respective date of acquisition) one additional office property that we acquired on March 5, 2015. Our share of the earnings from our unconsolidated Funds, which owned an additional eight office properties during the three months ended March 2016 and 2015, is included in income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds in our consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisitions, and see Note 5 for more detail regarding our unconsolidated Funds.

(1)
Because straight-line rent takes into account the full economic value of each lease, including accommodations and rent escalations, we believe that it may provide a better comparison than ending cash rents, which include the impact of the annual escalations over the entire term of the lease. However, care should be taken in any comparison, as the averages are often significantly affected from period to period by factors such as the buildings, submarkets, and types of space and terms involved in the leases executed during the respective reporting period.
(2)
Represents the weighted average straight-line annualized base rent (i.e., excludes tenant reimbursements, parking and other revenue) per leased square foot for leases executed within our total office portfolio.  For our triple net leases, annualized rent is calculated by adding estimated expense reimbursements to base rent.
(3)
Represents the weighted average leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances for leases executed within our total office portfolio, divided by the weighted average number of years for those respective leases.

Office Rent Roll Up

During the first quarter of 2016,

•
Straight-line rent roll up. The average straight-line rent of $39.89 per square foot under new and renewal leases that we signed during the quarter was 22.7% greater than the average straight-line rent of $32.50 per square foot on the expiring leases for the same space.  The rent roll up reflects continuing increases in average starting rental rates and more leases containing annual rent escalations in excess of 3% per annum.

•
Cash rent roll up. The average starting cash rental rate of $38.51 per square foot under new and renewal leases that we signed during the quarter averaging 22.3% greater than the average starting cash rental rate of $31.48 per square foot on the expiring leases for the same space, and 7.0% greater than the average ending cash rental rate of $35.99 per square foot on those expiring leases.

Fluctuations in submarkets, buildings and term of the expiring leases make predicting the changes in rent in any specific reporting period difficult.

Scheduled square footage expirations for our total office portfolio, which reflects all existing leases that are scheduled to expire in the respective quarter shown above, excluding the square footage under leases where (i) the existing tenant has renewed the lease on or before March 31, 2016, (ii) a new tenant has executed a lease on or before March 31, 2016 that will commence after March 31, 2016, (iii) early termination options that are exercised after March 31, 2016, (iv) defaults occurring after March 31, 2016, and (v) short term leases, such as month to month leases and other short term leases. Short term leases are excluded because (a) they are not included in our changes in rental rate data, (b) have rental rates that may not be reflective of market conditions, and (c) can distort the data trends, particularly in the first quarter of the fiscal year. The variations in this number from quarter to quarter primarily reflects the mix of buildings/submarkets involved, although it is also impacted by the varying terms and square footage of the individual leases involved.

Represents annualized base rent (i.e., excludes tenant reimbursements, parking and other revenue) per leased square foot at expiration.  The amount reflects total cash base rent before abatements.  For our triple net leases, we calculate annualized base rent for triple net leases by adding expense reimbursements to base rent.  Expiring rent per square foot on a quarterly basis is impacted by a number of variables, including variations in the submarkets or buildings involved.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Consolidated FFO

Usefulness to Investors

Many investors use FFO as one performance yardstick to compare the operating performance of REITs.  FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, (ii) impairments of depreciable operating property, (iii) real estate depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs), and (iv) the same adjustments for unconsolidated funds and consolidated joint ventures.  

We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT. Like any metric, FFO has limitations as a measure of our performance, because it excludes depreciation and amortization, and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations.  Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance.  FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of cash available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.  FFO should not be used as a supplement to or a substitute measure for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

Comparison of Results

Our FFO increased by $0.1 million, or 0.1%, to $76.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $76.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Excluding $6.6 million of accelerated non cash accretion of an above-market ground lease from the acquisition of the fee under one of our Honolulu buildings in the first quarter of 2015, our FFO increased by 9.7%. The increase of 9.7% was primarily due to (i) an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions, and (ii) an increase in operating income from our multifamily portfolio due to higher rental rates, partially offset by (iii) an increase in interest expense due to higher debt balances, which included interest expense related to a $580.0 million loan of one of our consolidated joint ventures which closed during the first quarter of 2016, and (iv) acquisition related expenses.

Reconciliation to GAAP

The table below (in thousands) reconciles our FFO (which includes the FFO attributable to the noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership but excludes the FFO attributable to the noncontrolling interests in our consolidated joint ventures) to net income attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP:

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2016 to three months ended March 31, 2015

Revenues

Office Rental Revenue:  Office rental revenue includes rental revenues from our office properties, percentage rent on the retail space contained within office properties and lease termination income.  Office rental revenue increased by $10.4 million, or 10.3%, to $111.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $100.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The increase was due to rental revenues of $8.4 million from one property that we acquired in the first quarter of 2015 and four properties that we acquired in the first quarter of 2016, as well as an increase in rental revenues of $2.0 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to an increase in occupancy and rental rates, which was partially offset by a decrease in the accretion from below-market tenant leases of $0.9 million.

Office Tenant Recoveries:  Office tenant recoveries increased by $61 thousand, or 0.60%, to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due to an increase in tenant recoveries of $0.5 million from five properties that we acquired, partially offset by a decline in tenant recoveries for the properties that we owned throughout both periods of $0.4 million. The decrease from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to lower income from both current period recoveries and prior period reconciliations.

Office Parking and Other Income: Office parking and other income increased by $2.5 million, or 12.1%, to $23.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due to an increase of $1.3 million in parking and other income from five properties that we acquired, as well as an increase in parking and other income of $1.2 million from properties that we owned during both periods. The increase from the properties that we owned throughout both periods primarily reflects increases in rates.

Multifamily Revenue:  Total multifamily revenue consists of rent, parking income and other income.  Total multifamily revenue increased by $0.8 million, or 3.6%, to $24.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $23.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to increases in rental rates.

Operating Expenses

Office Rental Expenses:  Office rental expenses increased by $3.7 million, or 8.3%, to $47.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $44.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due to rental expenses of $3.3 million from five properties that we acquired, as well as an increase of $0.4 million from properties that we owned during both periods. The increase from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to increases in scheduled services of $0.5 million, repairs and maintenance of $0.3 million and payroll expense of $0.2 million, partially offset by a decrease in utilities expense of $0.6 million.

Multifamily Rental Expenses:  Multifamily rental expense increased by $0.2 million, or 3.6%, to $6.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to increases in scheduled services of $0.1 million, repairs and maintenance of $0.1 million and payroll expense of $0.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in utilities expense of $0.1 million.

General and Administrative Expenses:  General and administrative expenses increased by $0.7 million, or 9.6%, to $8.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $7.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in employee and director equity compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization:  Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $5.7 million, or 11.5%, to $55.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $49.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization of $4.3 million from five properties that we acquired, as well as an increase of $1.4 million from properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase from the properties that we owned throughout both periods reflected an increase in depreciation and amortization of tenant improvements and leasing commissions as a result of increased leasing in 2015.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Other Income and Other Expenses: Other income decreased by $6.5 million, or 75.6%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and other expenses remained constant at $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, other income included $6.6 million of accelerated non cash accretion of an above-market ground lease from the acquisition of the fee under one of our Honolulu buildings. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisitions.

Income, Including Depreciation, from Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds:  The income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds represents our equity interest in the operating results, net of depreciation, of our unconsolidated Funds.  Our share of the income, including depreciation, from our unconsolidated Funds increased by $0.1 million, or 9.9%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in rental expenses and depreciation and amortization. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our unconsolidated Funds.

Interest Expense:  Interest expense increased by $2.0 million, or 6.0%, to $35.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $33.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The increase was due to interest expense of $0.9 million on the $580.0 million consolidated joint venture loan that we closed during the quarter as well as an increase of $1.1 million for our remaining consolidated debt due to higher debt balances. See Notes 7 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and derivative contracts.

Acquisition-related Expenses: Acquisition expenses include the costs of acquisitions that we close, as well as those that we do not close. Acquisition expenses increased by $1.2 million to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $290 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase was due to the acquisition of four office properties during the quarter. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our completed acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We have typically financed our capital needs through lines of credit and long-term secured loans. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on our cash flows from operations, some of our long-term secured loans carry fixed interest rates, and we generally enter into interest rate swap agreements with respect to our loans with floating interest rates.  These swap agreements generally expire between one to two years before the maturity date of the related loan, during which time we can refinance the loan without any interest penalty. See Notes 7 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and derivative contracts.  

At March 31, 2016, we had total consolidated indebtedness of $4.50 billion, which included the debt of our consolidated joint ventures and a balance of $290.0 million on our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2016, all of our consolidated debt, excluding our revolving credit facility, had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under the terms of the loan or a swap, with (i) a weighted average remaining life of 4.6 years, (ii) a weighted average remaining period during which the interest rate was fixed of 2.7 years, (iii) a weighted average annual rate of 3.42% (on an actual/360-day basis) and (iv) including non-cash amortization of deferred loan costs, a weighted average annual rate of 3.57%.
  
Financing Activity for three months ended March 31, 2016

For a description of our financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016, please see "Acquisitions and Dispositions, Financings, Developments and Repositionings" above.

Short term liquidity

Excluding any other potential acquisitions and debt refinancings, we expect to meet our short term operating liquidity requirements through cash on hand, cash generated by operations and, if necessary, our revolving credit facility.  At March 31, 2016, there was an outstanding balance of $290.0 million on our revolving credit facility. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our revolving credit facility and our debt that is scheduled to mature in 2016.

We are currently developing two multifamily projects, one in our Brentwood submarket in Los Angeles, California, and one in Honolulu, Hawaii, please see "Acquisitions and Dispositions, Financings, Developments and Repositionings" above. We intend to finance the costs of these development projects through cash on hand, cash generated by operations, and as necessary, our revolving credit facility.

Long term liquidity

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, development and repositioning of properties, non-recurring capital expenditures and refinancing of indebtedness. We do not expect that we will have sufficient funds on hand to cover all of these long-term cash requirements. The nature of our business, and the requirements imposed by REIT federal tax rules that we distribute a substantial majority of our income on an annual basis, may cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over the long term. We will seek to satisfy our additional long-term liquidity needs through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, including OP Units, property dispositions and joint venture transactions. We have an At-the-Market program which would allow us, subject to market conditions and demand, to sell up to an additional $400.0 million of common stock, none of which had been sold as of the date of this Report.

Commitments

At the date of this Report, we did not have any commitments for acquisitions and we did not have any debt scheduled to mature in 2016 other than a $20.0 million term loan due in December 2016.

Contractual Obligations

For a description of our financing and development activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016, please see "Acquisitions and Dispositions, Financings, Developments and Repositionings" above. As of March 31, 2016, other than these transactions during the first three months of 2016, there were no material changes to the information regarding contractual obligations included in Item 7 in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cash Flows

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2016 to three months ended March 31, 2015

Cash flows from operating activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants and the level of our operating expenses and other general and administrative costs.  Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $16.9 million to $89.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $72.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions, (ii) an increase in operating income from our multifamily portfolio due to higher rental rates, and (iii) an increase in working capital due to the acquisition of the Westwood Portfolio, partially offset by (iv) an increase in cash interest expense due to higher debt balances as well as (v) acquisition related expenses.

Cash flows from investing activities

Our net cash used in investing activities is generally used to fund property acquisitions, developments and redevelopment projects, and recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $1.15 billion to $1.26 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $107.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase primarily reflects the expenditure of $1.26 billion for the four office properties that we acquired during the first quarter of 2016. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisition.

Cash flows from financing activities

Our net cash related to financing activities is generally impacted by our borrowings and capital activities, as well as dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests, respectively.  Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $1.11 billion to $1.14 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $32.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase primarily reflects the financing of the acquisition of the four office properties that we acquired during the first quarter of 2016, which included a $580.0 million term loan, $290 million borrowed on our revolving credit facility and $320 million contributed by a joint venture partner.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Description of our Unconsolidated Funds

We manage and own equity interests in two unconsolidated Funds, Fund X and Partnership X, through which we and investors own eight office properties totaling 1.8 million square feet.  At March 31, 2016, we held equity interests of 68.61% of Fund X and 24.25% of Partnership X. Our Funds pay us fees and reimburse us for certain expenses related to property management and other services we provide to our Funds. We also receive distributions based on invested capital and on any profits that exceed certain specified cash returns to the investors. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our unconsolidated Funds.

(1)
We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve-outs under these loans, and also guaranteed the related swaps, although we have an indemnity from our unconsolidated Funds for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of March 31, 2016, all of the obligations under the loans and swap agreements have been performed by our unconsolidated Funds in accordance with the terms of those agreements.
(2)
Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by six properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of March 31, 2016, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were approximately $2.1 million.
(3)
Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by two properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of March 31, 2016, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were approximately $5.0 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

In our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. We have not made any material changes to our critical accounting policies during the period covered by this Report.
    
Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events (for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings and improvements, tenant improvements and lease intangibles, and above and below market tenant leases). These determinations, which are inherently subjective and subject to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based upon reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time that they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments, will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our estimates, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our estimates are subject to adjustment as we believe appropriate, based on revised estimates, and reconciliation to actual results when available. For a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting literature, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Except for our financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 described under "Acquisitions and Dispositions, Financings, Developments and Repositionings" above, as of March 31, 2016 there were no material changes to the information regarding Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in Item 7A in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
As of March 31, 2016, the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) at the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the foregoing, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
