1.    Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

We have omitted certain notes and other information from the interim consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
As a result of adopting certain new or amended accounting pronouncements in the first quarter of 2012, we have enhanced our disclosure of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and elected to continue use of credit valuation adjustments on a net basis by counterparty as part of the calculation to determine the fair value of our derivatives. Our disclosures now include: (1) significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, if any; (2) additional quantitative and qualitative information regarding fair value measurements categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy; and (3) the hierarchy classification for items whose fair value is not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets but was disclosed previously in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

five office buildings in Nashville, TN for $41.0 million and recorded gain on disposition of discontinued operations of $7.0 million.

Our mortgages and notes receivable consist primarily of seller financing issued in conjunction with two disposition transactions in 2010. This2010 and acquisition financing provided to a third party buyer of adjacent development land in Nashville, TN.

The seller financing is evidenced by first mortgages secured by the assignment of rents and the underlying real estate assets. We evaluate the collectability of the receivables by monitoring the leasing statistics and market fundamentals of these assets. As of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, the payments on both mortgages receivable were current and there were no other indicationsindicators of impairment on the receivables. We may be required to take impairment charges in the future if and to the extent the underlying collateral diminishes in value.

During 2012, we provided an $8.6 million loan to a third party, which was used by such third party to fund a portion of the purchase price to acquire 77 acres of mixed-use development land adjacent to our 68-acre office development parcel in Nashville, TN. Initially, the loan is scheduled to mature in December 2015 and bears interest at 5.0% per year. The loan can be extended by the third party for up to three additional years, subject to applicable increases in the interest rate. We also agreed to loan such third party approximately $8.4 million to fund future infrastructure development on its 77-acre development parcel. Both loans are or will be secured by the 77-acre development parcel. As of March 31, 2013, less than $0.1 million has been funded to the third party for infrastructure development. We concluded this arrangement to be an interest in a variable interest entity. However, since we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity, we do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entity is not consolidated and the arrangement is accounted for in mortgages and notes receivable in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2013. Our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement is limited to the carrying value of the mortgage receivable and the future infrastructure development funding commitment.

The following table sets forth our notes receivable allowance, which relates only to promissory notes:

During the secondfirst quarter of 2011, we provided a $38.3 million interest-only secured loan to our DLF I joint venture that originally was scheduled to mature in March 2012. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 500 basis points. The maturity date of the loan has been extended to December 31, 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the outstanding balance of the loan was reduced to $13.0 million as a result of our acquisition of an office property from the joint venture. We recorded interest income from this loan in interest and other income of $0.1 million and $0.5 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.8 million during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2012,2013, our DLF II joint venture obtainedsold an office property to unrelated third parties for a $50.0 million, three-year secured mortgage loan from a third party lender, bearing a fixed interest ratesale price of 3.5%$10.1 million on(after $39.10.3 million in closing credits to buyer for free rent) and recorded a gain on disposition of property of less than $0.1 million. As our cost basis is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, we recorded $0.4 million of the loan and a floating interest rategain through equity in earnings of LIBOR plus 250 basis points on $10.9 million of the loan, which was used by the joint venture to repay a secured loan at maturity to a third party lender.unconsolidated affiliates.

During the first quarter of 2012, we2013, our DLF I joint venture recorded impairments of real estate assets of $4.8 million on an office property located in Atlanta, GA and an office property located in Charlotte, NC. We recorded $1.0 million as our share of this impairment charge through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.  These impairments of real estate assets on two office properties in our DLF I joint venture,were due to a decline in projected occupancy and a change in the assumed holding periodtiming of those assets,future dispositions and leasing assumptions, which reduced the future expected future cash flows from the properties.

6.    Mortgages and Notes Payable - Continued

Our $475.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature onin July 27, 2015 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $75.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for an additional year. The interest rate at our current credit ratings is LIBOR plus 150 basis points and the annual facility fee is 35 basis points. The interest rate and facility fee are based on the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. We use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt. The continued ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates. There was $89.097.5 million and $59.594.5 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and October 22, 2012April 19, 2013, respectively. At both September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and October 22, 2012April 19, 2013, we had $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and October 22, 2012April 19, 2013 was $385.9377.4 million and $415.4380.4 million, respectively.

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2012,2013, we paid downprepaid the amount outstanding under our variable rate construction loan byremaining $34.335.0 million.

During the second quarter of balance on a 2012, we repurchased $12.1200.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes duebank term loan that was originally scheduled to mature in March 2017February 2016 bearing interest of 5.85% for a purchase price of 107.5% of par value.. We recorded $1.00.2 million of loss on debt extinguishment related to this repurchase.

During the first quarter of 2012, we obtained a $225.0 million, seven-year unsecured bank term loan bearing interest of LIBOR plus 190 basis points. This floating interest rate effectively was fixed by the interest rate swaps discussed in Note 7. The proceeds were used to pay off amounts then outstanding under our revolving credit facility.repayment.

We are currently in compliance with the debt covenants and other requirements with respect to our outstanding debt.

7.Derivative Financial Instruments

We have six floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps forthrough sevenJanuary 2019-year periods each with respect to an aggregate of $225.0 million LIBOR-based borrowings. These swaps effectively fix the underlying LIBOR rate at a weighted average of 1.678%. The counterparties under the swaps are major financial institutions. The swap agreements contain a provision whereby if we default on any of our indebtedness, if greater than $10.0 million and that results in repayment of such indebtedness being, or becoming capable of being accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. These swaps have been designated as and are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income each reporting period. No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on our cash flow hedges during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, weWe have not posted anyno collateral requirements related to our interest rate swap liability.swaps.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. During the period from OctoberApril 1, 20122013 through September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we estimate that $3.3 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

For the periods ending March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all of our derivatives were in a liability position. The following table sets forth the fair value of our derivative instruments:liability derivatives:

8.Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the ownership of Common Units by various individuals and entities other than the Company. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is computed by applying the weighted average percentage of Common Units not owned by the Company during the period, as a percent of the total number of outstanding Common Units, to the Operating Partnership’s net income for the period after deducting distributions on Preferred Units. When a noncontrolling unitholder redeems a Common Unit for a share of Common Stock or cash, the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership are reduced and the Company's share in the Operating Partnership is increased by the fair value of each security at the time of redemption.

9.Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following summarizes the three levels of inputs that we use to measure fair value, as well as the assets, noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and liabilities that we recognize at fair value using those levels of inputs.

Level 1.  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Our Level 1 assets are investments in marketable securities that we use to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Our Level 1 noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the ownership of Common Units by various individuals and entities other than the Company. Our Level 1 liability is our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Our Level 2 asset is the fair value of certain of our mortgages and notes receivable, which was estimated by the income approach utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants.
 
Our Level 2 liabilities include (1) the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable, which was estimated by the income approach utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants and (2) interest rate swaps whose fair value is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments of our interest rate swaps are based on the expectation of future LIBOR interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market LIBOR interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk, but were concluded to not be significant inputs to the calculation for the periods presented.
 
Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
Our Level 3 assets include (1) certain of our mortgages and notes receivable, which were estimated by the income approach utilizing internal cash flow projections and market interest rates to estimate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants, (2) our tax increment financing bond, which is not routinely traded but whose fair value is determined by the income approach utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to estimate the projected redemption value based on quoted bid/ask prices for similar unrated municipal bonds, and if(3) any real estate assets and for-sale residential condominiums recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of our quarterly impairment analysis, which were valued using broker opinionthe terms of valuedefinitive sales contracts or the sales comparison approach and substantiated bywith internal cash flow projections.
 
Our Level 3 liabilities include the fair value of our contingent consideration to acquire real estate assets and financing obligations, which were estimated by the income approach to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants, utilizing: (1) contractual cash flows; (2) market-based interest rates; and (3) a number of other assumptions including demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs of operation and expected ownership periods.

During 2007, we acquired a tax increment financing bond associated with a parking garage developed by us. This bond amortizes to maturity in 2020. The estimated fair value at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 was $1.81.5 million below the outstanding principal due on the bond. If the discount rate used to fair value this bond was 100 basis points higher or lower, the fair value of the bond would have been $0.5 million lower or $0.60.5 million higher, respectively, as of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. We intend to hold this bond and have concluded that we will not be required to sell this bond before recovery of the bond principal. Payment of the principal and interest for the bond is guaranteed by us. We have recorded no credit losses related to the bond during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and 20112012. There is no legal right of offset with the liability, which we report as a financing obligation, related to this tax increment financing bond.

The following table sets forth quantitative information aboutimpaired real estate assets that were measured in the unobservable inputsfirst quarter of our Level 3 asset and liability, which are recorded2013 at fair value and deemed to be Level 3 assets were valued based primarily on market-based inputs and our Consolidated Balance Sheets onassumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs were not available. In the absence of observable inputs, we estimate the fair value of real estate using unobservable data such as estimated discount and capitalization rates. We also utilize local and national industry market data such as comparable sales, sales contracts and appraisals to assist us in our estimation of fair value. Significant increases or decreases in any valuation inputs in isolation would result in a recurring basis:

10.Share-based Payments

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, we granted 190,886168,700 stock options with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which resulted in a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $5.476.50. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, we also granted 90,98379,080 shares of time-based restricted stock and 67,90265,486 shares of total return-based restricted stock with weighted average grant date fair values per share of $32.2736.35 and $38.7131.73, respectively. We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $2.03.4 million and $1.32.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and 2011, respectively, and $6.5 million and $4.8 million during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, there was $5.67.2 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation costs, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining contractual term of 2.52.7 years.

15.Subsequent Events

On October 11, 2012April 15, 2013, we modified our $200.0 million,sold five-year unsecured bank term loan, which was originally scheduled to mature industrial properties in February 2016. The loan is now scheduled to mature in January 2018 and the interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 220 basis points to LIBOR plus 165 basis points. We incurredAtlanta, GA for a sale price of $0.94.5 million (after $0.1 million in closing credits to buyer for free rent) and expect to record a gain on disposition of deferred financing fees in connection with the modification, which will be amortized along with existing unamortized deferred loan fees over the remaining termdiscontinued operations of the new loan. Proceeds from two new participants, aggregating $35.0 million, were used to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Two of the original participants, which still hold an aggregate $35.0 million of the principal balance under the original term loan, will be fully paid off on or before February 25, 2013.less than $0.1 million.

On October 18, 2012April 17, 2013, our DLF I joint venture sold an office property to an unrelated third party for a sale price of $6.0 million and expects to record a gain on disposition of discontinued operations of less than $0.1 million. We expect to record less than $0.1 million as our share of this gain through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.

On April 24, 2013, we acquired an additional medical office propertysold six industrial properties and a land parcel in Greensboro, NCa single transaction in Atlanta, GA for a purchasesale price of $13.3$38.7 million. This purchase price includes the assumption (before $1.8 million in closing credits to buyer for unfunded tenant improvements and after $1.3 million in closing credits to buyer for free rent) and expect to record a gain on disposition of secured debt expected to be recorded at fair value of $7.9 million, with an effective interest ratediscontinued operations of 4.06%, including amortization of deferred financing costs. This debt matures in August 2014$13.2 million. We expect to expense approximately $0.1 million of acquisition costs related to this transaction.

1.    Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We have omitted certain notes and other information from the interim consolidated financial statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

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

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
As a result of adopting certain new or amended accounting pronouncements in the first quarter of 2012, we have enhanced our disclosure of assets and liabilities measured at fair value and elected to continue use of credit valuation adjustments on a net basis by counterparty as part of the calculation to determine the fair value of our derivatives. Our disclosures now include: (1) significant transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, if any; (2) additional quantitative and qualitative information regarding fair value measurements categorized as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy; and (3) the hierarchy classification for items whose fair value is not recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets but was disclosed previously in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our mortgages and notes receivable consist primarily of seller financing issued in conjunction with two disposition transactions in 2010. This2010 and acquisition financing provided to a third party buyer of adjacent development land in Nashville, TN.

The seller financing is evidenced by first mortgages secured by the assignment of rents and the underlying real estate assets. We evaluate the collectability of the receivables by monitoring the leasing statistics and market fundamentals of these assets. As of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013, the payments on both mortgages receivable were current and there were no other indicationsindicators of impairment on the receivables. We may be required to take impairment charges in the future if and to the extent the underlying collateral diminishes in value.

During 2012, we provided an $8.6 million loan to a third party, which was used by such third party to fund a portion of the purchase price to acquire 77 acres of mixed-use development land adjacent to our 68-acre office development parcel in Nashville, TN. Initially, the loan is scheduled to mature in December 2015 and bears interest at 5.0% per year. The loan can be extended by the third party for up to three additional years, subject to applicable increases in the interest rate. We also agreed to loan such third party approximately $8.4 million to fund future infrastructure development on its 77-acre development parcel. Both loans are or will be secured by the 77-acre development parcel. As of March 31, 2013, less than $0.1 million has been funded to the third party for infrastructure development. We concluded this arrangement to be an interest in a variable interest entity. However, since we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity, we do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entity is not consolidated and the arrangement is accounted for in mortgages and notes receivable in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2013. Our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement is limited to the carrying value of the mortgage receivable and the future infrastructure development funding commitment.

During the second quarter of 2011, we provided a $38.3 million interest-only secured loan to our DLF I joint venture that originally was scheduled to mature in March 2012. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 500 basis points. The maturity date of the loan has been extended to December 31, 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the outstanding balance of the loan was reduced to $13.0 million as a result of our acquisition of an office property from the joint venture. We recorded interest income from this loan in interest and other income of $0.1 million and $0.5 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.8 million during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2012, our DLF II joint venture obtained a $50.0 million, three-year secured mortgage loan from a third party lender, bearing a fixed interest rate of 3.5% on $39.1 million of the loan and a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 250 basis points on $10.9 million of the loan, which was used by the joint venture to repay a secured loan at maturity to a third party lender.
During the first quarter of 2012,2013, our DLF II joint venture sold an office property to unrelated third parties for a sale price of $10.1 million (after $0.3 million in closing credits to buyer for free rent) and recorded a gain on disposition of property of less than $0.1 million. As our cost basis is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, we recorded $0.4 million of gain through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.

During the first quarter of 2013, our DLF I joint venture recorded impairments of real estate assets of $4.8 million on an office property located in Atlanta, GA and an office property located in Charlotte, NC.  We recorded $1.0 million as our share of this impairment charge through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.  These impairments of real estate assets on two office properties in our DLF I joint venture,were due to a decline in projected occupancy and a change in the assumed holding periodtiming of those assets,future dispositions and leasing assumptions, which reduced the future expected future cash flows from the properties.

During the third quarter of 2012, we provided a three-year, $20.8 million interest-only secured loan to our Harborview Plaza joint venture that is scheduled to mature in September 2015, which the joint venture used to repay a secured loan at maturity to a third party lender. This new loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 500 basis points, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.5%.

Our $475.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature onin July 27, 2015 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $75.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for an additional year. The interest rate at our current credit ratings is LIBOR plus 150 basis points and the annual facility fee is 35 basis points. The interest rate and facility fee are based on the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. We use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt. The continued ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates. There was $89.097.5 million and $59.594.5 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and October 22, 2012April 19, 2013, respectively. At both September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and October 22, 2012April 19, 2013, we had $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and October 22, 2012April 19, 2013 was $385.9377.4 million and $415.4380.4 million, respectively.

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2012,2013, we paid downprepaid the amount outstanding under our variable rate construction loan byremaining $34.335.0 million.

During the second quarter of balance on a 2012, we repurchased $12.1200.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes duebank term loan that was originally scheduled to mature in March 2017February 2016 bearing interest of 5.85% for a purchase price of 107.5% of par value.. We recorded $1.00.2 million of loss on debt extinguishment related to this repurchase.
During the first quarter of 2012, we obtained a $225.0 million, seven-year unsecured bank term loan bearing interest of LIBOR plus 190 basis points. This floating interest rate effectively was fixed by the interest rate swaps discussed in Note 7. The proceeds were used to pay off amounts then outstanding under our revolving credit facility.repayment.

We are currently in compliance with the debt covenants and other requirements with respect to our outstanding debt.

7.Derivative Financial Instruments
 
We have six floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps forthrough sevenJanuary 2019-year periods each with respect to an aggregate of $225.0 million LIBOR-based borrowings. These swaps effectively fix the underlying LIBOR rate at a weighted average of 1.678%. The counterparties under the swaps are major financial institutions. The swap agreements contain a provision whereby if we default on any of our indebtedness, if greater than $10.0 million and that results in repayment of such indebtedness being, or becoming capable of being accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. These swaps have been designated as and are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income each reporting period. No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on our cash flow hedges during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. As of September 30, 2012, weWe have not posted anyno collateral requirements related to our interest rate swap liability.swaps.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss ("AOCL") related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our variable-rate debt. During the period from OctoberApril 1, 20122013 through September 30, 2013,March 31, 2014, we estimate that $3.3 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
 
For the periods ending March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, all of our derivatives were in a liability position. The following table sets forth the fair value of our derivative instruments:liability derivatives:

9.Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following summarizes the three levels of inputs that we use to measure fair value, as well as the assets and liabilities that we recognize at fair value using those levels of inputs.

Level 1.  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Our Level 1 assets are investments in marketable securities that we use to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Our Level 1 liability is our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Our Level 2 asset is the fair value of certain of our mortgages and notes receivable, which was estimated by the income approach utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants.

Our Level 2 liabilities include (1) the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable, which was estimated by the income approach utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants and (2) interest rate swaps whose fair value is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments of our interest rate swaps are based on the expectation of future LIBOR interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market LIBOR interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk, but were concluded to not be significant inputs to the calculation for the periods presented.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

9.Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Continued

Our Level 3 assets include (1) certain of our mortgages and notes receivable, which were estimated by the income approach utilizing internal cash flow projections and market interest rates to estimate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants, (2) our tax increment financing bond, which is not routinely traded but whose fair value is determined by the income approach utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to estimate the projected redemption value based on quoted bid/ask prices for similar unrated municipal bonds, and if(3) any real estate assets and for-sale residential condominiums recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of our quarterly impairment analysis, which were valued using broker opinionthe terms of valuedefinitive sales contracts or the sales comparison approach and substantiated bywith internal cash flow projections.

Our Level 3 liabilities include the fair value of our contingent consideration to acquire real estate assets and financing obligations, which were estimated by the income approach to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants, utilizing: (1) contractual cash flows; (2) market-based interest rates; and (3) a number of other assumptions including demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs of operation and expected ownership periods.

The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy. We determine the level based on the lowest level of substantive input used to determine fair value.

9.Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Continued

During 2007, we acquired a tax increment financing bond associated with a parking garage developed by us. This bond amortizes to maturity in 2020. The estimated fair value at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 was $1.81.5 million below the outstanding principal due on the bond. If the discount rate used to fair value this bond was 100 basis points higher or lower, the fair value of the bond would have been $0.5 million lower or $0.60.5 million higher, respectively, as of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. We intend to hold this bond and have concluded that we will not be required to sell this bond before recovery of the bond principal. Payment of the principal and interest for the bond is guaranteed by us. We have recorded no credit losses related to the bond during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and 20112012. There is no legal right of offset with the liability, which we report as a financing obligation, related to this tax increment financing bond.

The impaired real estate assets that were measured in the first quarter of 2013 at fair value and deemed to be Level 3 assets were valued based primarily on market-based inputs and our assumptions about the use of the assets, as observable inputs were not available. In the absence of observable inputs, we estimate the fair value of real estate using unobservable data such as estimated discount and capitalization rates. We also utilize local and national industry market data such as comparable sales, sales contracts and appraisals to assist us in our estimation of fair value. Significant increases or decreases in any valuation inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

The following table sets forth quantitative information about the unobservable inputs of our Level 3 assets and liability, which are recorded at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets:

The loan is now scheduled to mature in January 2018 and the interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 220 basis points to LIBOR plus 165 basis points. We incurredAtlanta, GA for a sale price of $0.94.5 million of deferred financing fees in connection with the modification, which will be amortized along with existing unamortized deferred loan fees over the remaining term of the new loan. Proceeds from(after two new participants, aggregating $35.0 million, were used to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Two of the original participants, which still hold an aggregate $35.00.1 million in closing credits to buyer for free rent) and expect to record a gain on disposition of the principal balance under the original term loan, will be fully paid off on or before February 25, 2013.discontinued operations of less than $0.1 million.

On October 18, 2012April 17, 2013, our DLF I joint venture sold an office property to an unrelated third party for a sale price of $6.0 million and expects to record a gain on disposition of discontinued operations of less than $0.1 million. We expect to record less than $0.1 million as our share of this gain through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.

Executive Summary
 
Our Strategic Plan focuses on:
 
owning high-quality, differentiated real estate assets in the better submarketskey infill business districts in our core markets;

improving the operating results of our existing properties through concentrated leasing, asset management, cost control and customer service efforts;

developing and acquiring office properties in key infill submarketsbusiness districts that improve the overall quality of our portfolio and generate attractive returns over the long-term for our stockholders;

selectively disposing of properties no longer considered to be core assets primarily due to location, age, quality and overall strategic fit; and

maintaining a conservative, flexible balance sheet with ample liquidity to meet our funding needs and growth prospects.
 
While we own and operate a limited number of industrial, retail and residential properties, our operating results depend heavily on successfully leasing and operating our office properties. Economic growth and employment levels in our core markets are and will continue to be important determinative factors in predicting our future operating results.
 
The key components affecting our rental and other revenues are average occupancy, rental rates, levels of cost recovery income, new developments placed in service, acquisitions and dispositions. Average occupancy generally increases during times of improving economic growth, as our ability to lease space outpaces vacancies that occur upon the expirations of existing leases. Average occupancy generally declines during times of slower economic growth, when new vacancies tend to outpace our ability to lease space. Asset acquisitions, dispositions and new developments placed in service directly impact our rental revenues and could impact our average occupancy, depending upon the occupancy rate of the properties that are acquired, sold or placed in service. A further indicator of the predictability of future revenues is the expected lease expiration scheduleexpirations of our portfolio. As a result, in addition to seeking to increase our average occupancy by leasing current vacant space, we also must concentrate our leasing efforts on renewing leases on expiring space. For more information regarding our lease expirations, see "Item 2. Properties - Lease Expirations" in our 2012 Annual Report. Our occupancy declined from 90.9% at December 31, 2012 to 90.6% at March 31, 2013. Due to the scheduled expirations later this year of large customers in Tampa, FL and Atlanta, GA, we expect average occupancy to be approximately 90.0% throughout the rest of 2013.
 
Whether or not our rental revenue tracks average occupancy proportionally depends upon whether rents under new leases signed are higher or lower than the rents under the previous leases. Annualized rental revenues from second generation leases signed during any particular year are generally less than 15% of our total annual rental revenues. During the third quarter of 2012, we leased 0.9 million square feet ofThe following table sets forth information regarding second generation office space, definedleases, which we define as space previously occupied under our ownership that becomes available for lease or acquired vacant space, with a weighted average termthat were signed during the first quarter of 2013:

5.8 years. On average, tenant improvementsAnnual GAAP rents for suchnew and renewal leases combined, net of free rent concessions, under office, industrial and retail leases were $14.66 per square foot, lease commissions were $4.80 per square foot and rent concessions were $3.27 per square foot. Annualized GAAP rents under such office leases were $20.9120.73 per square foot, or 2.4%0.1% higher,$3.95 per square foot, or 11.6% lower and $36.31 per square foot, or 35.4% higher, respectively, than under previous leases.

We strive to maintain a diverse, stable and creditworthy customer base. We have an internal guideline whereby customers that account for more than 3% of our revenues are periodically reviewed with the Company's Board of Directors. Currently, no customer accounts for more than 3% of our revenues other than the the Federal Government, which accounted for 7.2%6.7% of our revenues on an annualized basis, as of September 30, 2012March 31, 2013.
 
Our expenses primarily consist of rental property expenses, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. From time to time, expenses also include impairments of assets held for use.real estate assets. Rental property expenses are expenses associated with our ownership and operation of rental properties and include expenses that vary somewhat proportionately to occupancy levels, such as common area maintenance and utilities, and expenses that do not vary based on occupancy, such as property taxes and insurance. Depreciation and amortization is a non-cash expense associated with the ownership of real property and generally remains relatively consistent each year, unless we buy, place in service or sell assets, since we depreciate our properties and related building and tenant improvement assets on a straight-line basis over a fixed life. General and administrative expenses, net of amounts capitalized, consist primarily of management and employee salaries and other personnel costs, corporate overhead and long-term incentive compensation.

We intend to maintain a conservative and flexible balance sheet that allows us to capitalize on favorable development and acquisition opportunities as they arise. AsWe anticipate commencing up to $200.0 million of new development in 2013. Any such projects would not be placed in service until 2014 or beyond. We also anticipate acquiring up to September 30, 2012$325.0 million, of new properties and selling up to $175.0 million of non-core properties in 2013. We generally seek to acquire and develop assets that are consistent with our Strategic Plan, improve the average quality of our overall portfolio and deliver consistent and sustainable value for our stockholders over the long-term. Whether or not an asset acquisition or new development results in higher per share net income or FFO in any given period depends upon a number of factors, including whether the capitalization rate using projected GAAP net operating income for any such period exceeds the actual cost of capital used to finance the acquisition. We generally intend to grow the Company on a leverage-neutral basis by maintaining a leverage ratio, defined as the percentage of mortgages and notes payable represented 43.0% ofand outstanding preferred stock to the undepreciated book value of our assets. We expectassets, of 42-48%. As of March 31, 2013, this ratio to remainwas 43.9%.

Gains on disposition of investment in unconsolidated affiliatesOther income was $2.30.6 million, or 27.4%, lower in the thirdfirst quarter of 20122013 as compared to 20112012 primarily due to a decrease in interest income on notes receivable resulting from the repayment in 2012 of a secured loan we made in 2011 to our DLF I joint venture and a loss on debt extinguishment. We expect other income for the remainder of 2013 to remain consistent as compared to 2012.

Equity in Earnings/(Losses) of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in earnings/(losses) of unconsolidated affiliates was $0.6 millionhigher in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to 2012 primarily due to our partner exercising its option to acquireshare of a gain on disposition of an office property in our 10.0% equity interestDLF II joint venture of $0.4 million in onethe first quarter of 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our goal is to maintain a conservative and flexible balance sheet with access to multiple sources of debt and equity capital and sufficient availability under our revolving credit facility. We generally use rents received from customers to fund our operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures and distributions. To fund property acquisitions, development activity or building renovations and repay debt upon maturity, we may use current cash balances, sell assets, obtain new debt and/or issue equity. Our debt generally consists of mortgage debt, unsecured debt securities, bank term loans and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

Statements of Cash Flows

We report and analyze our cash flows based on operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. The following table sets forth the changes in the Company’s cash flows ($ in thousands):

Total Cash Flows$(2,102) $(3,118) $1,016
$(1,613) $1,027
 $(2,640)

In calculating net cash related to operating activities, depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash expenses, are added back to net income. As a result, we have historically generated a positive amount of cash from operating activities. From period to period, cash flow from operations depends primarily upon changes in our net income, as discussed more fully above under “Results of Operations,” changes in receivables and payables, and net additions or decreases in our overall portfolio, which affect the amount of depreciation and amortization expense.

Net cash related to investing activities generally relates to capitalized costs incurred for leasing and major building improvements and our acquisition, development, disposition and joint venture capital activity. During periods of significant net acquisition and/or development activity, our cash used in such investing activities will generally exceed cash provided by investing activities, which typically consists of cash received upon the sale of properties and distributions of capital from our joint ventures.

Net cash related to financing activities generally relates to distributions, incurrence and repayment of debt, and issuances, repurchases or redemptions of Common Stock, Common Units and Preferred Stock. As discussed previously, we use a significant amount of our cash to fund distributions. Whether or not we have increases in the outstanding balances of debt during a period depends generally upon the net effect of our acquisition, disposition, development and joint venture activity. We generally use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes, which means that during any given period, in order to minimize interest expense, we may record significant repayments and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

The change in net cash related to operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2012first quarter of 2013 as compared to 20112012 was primarily due to higher net cash from the operations of acquired properties, partly offset by higher cash paid for operating expenses.

The change in net cash related to investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2012first quarter of 2013 as compared to 20112012 was primarily due to higher acquisition activity in 2012, a loan to an unconsolidated affiliate in 2011 and higher net proceeds from disposition of real estate assets in 2012, partly offset by proceeds from disposition of investment in unconsolidated affiliates in 2011.2013.

The change in net cash related to financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2012first quarter of 2013 as compared to 20112012 was primarily due to higher net repayments of borrowings in 2012, partly offset by higher proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock in 20122013 and redemptions/repurchases of Preferred Stockhigher net borrowings in 2011.2013.

Our mortgages and notes payable as of March 31, 2013consisted of $685.4547.2 million of secured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 5.71%5.75% and $1,093.21,349.2 million of unsecured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 4.72%4.44%. The secured indebtedness was collateralized by real estate assets with an aggregate undepreciated book value of $1,148.2967.3 million.

Current and Future Cash Needs
 
Rental and other revenues are our principal source of funds to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. Other sources of funds for short-term liquidity needs include available working capital and borrowings under our existing revolving credit facility, which had $415.4380.4 million of availability at October 22, 2012April 19, 2013. Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses, interest and principal amortization on our debt, dividends and distributions and capital expenditures, including building improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and lease commissions. Building improvements are capital costs to maintain existing buildings not typically related to a specific customer. Tenant improvements are the costs required to customize space for the specific needs of customers. We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities, together with cash available from borrowings under our revolving credit facility, will be adequate to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.
 
Our long-term liquidity uses generally consist of the retirement or refinancing of debt upon maturity (including mortgage debt, our revolving and construction credit facilities,facility, term loans and other unsecured debt), funding of existing and new building development or land infrastructure projects and funding acquisitions of buildings and development land. Additionally, we may, from time to time, retire some or all of our remaining outstanding Preferred Stock and/or unsecured debt securities through redemptions, open market repurchases, privately negotiated acquisitions or otherwise.
 
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs through a combination of:
 
cash flow from operating activities;

bank term loans and borrowings under our revolving credit facility;

the issuance of unsecured debt;

the issuance of secured debt;

the issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership; and

the disposition of non-core assets.
 
Recent Acquisition and Disposition Activity

During the thirdfirst quarter of 20122013, we acquired three properties for a total purchase price of $161.2 million, consisting of (1) a 492,000 square foot office property in Atlanta, GA for $144.9 million and (2) two medical office properties in Greensboro, NC for $16.3 million, which included the issuance of 66,864 Common Units and contingent consideration with fair value at theacquired:

Onoffice properties in Tampa, FL encompassing October 18, 2012372,000, we acquired an additional medical office property in Greensboro, NC square feet for a purchase price of $13.3$52.5 million. This,

two office properties in Greensboro, NC encompassing 195,000 square feet for a purchase price includes the assumption of secured debt expected$30.8 million, and

five acres of development land in Memphis, TN for a purchase price of $4.8 million.

We expensed $0.5 million of acquisition costs (included in general and administrative expenses) related to bethese acquisitions. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at fair value as determined by management based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations. We have invested or intend to invest an additional $5.5 million in the aggregate of planned building improvements and future tenant improvements committed under existing leases acquired in the building acquisitions. Based on the total anticipated investment of $7.988.8 million, with an effective interestthe weighted average capitalization rate offor these building acquisitions is 4.06%, including amortization of deferred financing costs.

Our $475.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature onin July 27, 2015 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $75.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for an additional year. The interest rate at our current credit ratings is LIBOR plus 150 basis points and the annual facility fee is 35 basis points. The interest rate and facility fee are based on the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. We use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt. The continued ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates. There was $89.097.5 million and $59.594.5 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and October 22, 2012April 19, 2013, respectively. At both September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and October 22, 2012April 19, 2013, we had $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and October 22, 2012April 19, 2013 was $385.9377.4 million and $415.4380.4 million, respectively.
 
OnDuring the first quarter of 2013, we prepaid the remaining October 11, 2012$35.0 million, we modified our balance on a $200.0 million, five-year unsecured bank term loan whichthat was originally scheduled to mature in February 2016. The loan is now scheduled to mature in January 2018 and the interest rate was reduced from LIBOR plus 220 basis points to LIBOR plus 165 basis points. We incurred $0.9 million of deferred financing fees in connection with the modification, which will be amortized along with existing unamortized deferred loan fees over the remaining term of the new loan. Proceeds from two new participants, aggregating $35.0 million, were used to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Two of the original participants, which still hold an aggregate $35.0 million of the principal balance under the original term loan, will be fully paid off on or before February 25, 2013.
During the third quarter of 2012, we paid down the amount outstanding under our variable rate construction loan by $34.3 million.

We regularly evaluate the financial condition of the lendersfinancial institutions that participate in our credit facilities and as counterparties under interest rate swap agreements using publicly available information. Based on this review, we currently expect our lenders, which are majorthese financial institutions to perform their obligations under our existing facilities.facilities and swap agreements.

Covenant Compliance
 
We are currently in compliance with the covenants and other requirements with respect to our outstanding debt. Although we expect to remain in compliance with these covenants and ratios for at least the next year, depending upon our future operating performance, property and financing transactions and general economic conditions, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be in compliance.
 
Our revolving credit facility and bank term loans require us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial requirements. Upon an event of default on the revolving credit facility, the lenders having at least 66.7% of the total commitments under the revolving credit facility can accelerate all borrowings then outstanding, and we could be prohibited from borrowing any further amounts under our revolving credit facility, which would adversely affect our ability to fund our operations.

The trustee or the holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of either series of bonds can accelerate the principal amount of such series upon written notice of a default that remains uncured after 60 days.
 
We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend any or all of our debt at maturity or upon any acceleration. If any refinancing is done at higher interest rates, the increased interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to pay distributions. Any such refinancing could also impose tighter financial ratios and other covenants that restrict our ability to take actions that could otherwise be in our best interest, such as funding new development activity, making opportunistic acquisitions, repurchasing our securities or paying distributions.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the secondfirst quarter of 2011, we provided2013, our DLF II joint venture sold an office property to unrelated third parties for a $sale price of 38.3$10.1 million interest-only secured loan(after $0.3 million in closing credits to buyer for free rent) and recorded a gain on disposition of property of less than $0.1 million. As our cost basis is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, we recorded $0.4 million of gain through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.

On April 17, 2013, our DLF I joint venture that originally was scheduled to mature in March 2012. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 500 basis points. The maturity date of the loan has been extended to December 31, 2012. In the second quarter of 2012, the outstanding balance of the loan was reduced to $13.0 million as a result of our acquisition ofsold an office property from the joint venture. We recorded interest income from this loan in interest and other incometo an unrelated third party for a sale price of $0.16.0 million and $0.5expects to record a gain on disposition of discontinued operations of less than $0.1 million. We expect to record less than $0.1 million during the three months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.8 million during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. as our share of this gain through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates.
During the third quarter of 2012, we provided a three-year, $20.8 million interest-only secured loan to our Harborview Plaza joint venture that is scheduled to mature in September 2015, which the joint venture used to repay a secured loan at maturity to a third party lender. This new loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 500 basis points, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.5%.

There were no other significant changes to our off balance sheet arrangements in the three months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. For information regarding our off balance sheet arrangements at December 31, 20112012, see Note 9 to the Consolidated"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial StatementsCondition and Results of Operations - Off Balance Sheet Arrangements" in our 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
There were no changes made by management to the critical accounting policies in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013. For a description of our critical accounting estimates, see “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 20112012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Measures - FFO and NOIInformation
 
The Company believes that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are beneficial to management and investors and are important indicators of the performance of any equity REIT. Because FFO and FFO per share calculations exclude such factors as depreciation, amortization and impairments of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets, which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. Management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient on a stand-alone basis. As a result, management believes that the use of FFO and FFO per share,

59


together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's performance relative

58


to its competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities.
 
FFO and FFO per share are non-GAAP financial measures and therefore do not represent net income or net income per share as defined by GAAP. Net income and net income per share as defined by GAAP are the most relevant measures in determining the Company's operating performance because FFO and FFO per share include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation, amortization and impairments. Furthermore, FFO per share does not depict the amount that accrues directly to the stockholders' benefit. Accordingly, FFO and FFO per share should never be considered as alternatives to net income or net income per share as indicators of the Company's operating performance.
 
The Company's presentation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which is calculated as follows:
 
Net income/(loss) computed in accordance with GAAP;
 
Less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates;
 
Plus depreciation and amortization of depreciable operating properties;
 
Less gains, or plus losses, from sales of depreciable operating properties, plus impairments on depreciable operating properties and excluding items that are classified as extraordinary items under GAAP;
 
Plus or minus our proportionate share of adjustments, including depreciation and amortization of depreciable operating properties, for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (to reflect funds from operations on the same basis); and
 
Plus or minus adjustments for depreciation and amortization and gains/(losses) on sales of depreciable operating properties, plus impairments on depreciable operating properties, and noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates related to discontinued operations.
 
In calculating FFO, the Company excludesincludes net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, which the Company believes is consistent with standard industry practice for REITs that operate through an UPREIT structure. The Company believes that it is important to present FFO on an as-converted basis since all of the Common Units not owned by the Company are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares of its Common Stock.

In addition, the Company believes net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”) and same property NOI are useful supplemental measures of the Company’s property operating performance because such metrics provide a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or FFO. The Company defines NOI as rental and other revenues from continuing operations, less rental property and other expenses from continuing operations. The Company defines cash NOI as NOI less straight linestraight-line rent and lease termination fees. Other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate NOI and same property NOI.

Our same property portfolio currently consists of 287 in-service office, industrial and retail properties encompassing 27.8 million square feet that were wholly owned during the entirety of the periods presented (from January 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013). In our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our same property portfolio consisted of 284 in-service office, industrial and retail properties encompassing 25.8 million square feet that were wholly owned during the entirety of the periods presented therein (from January 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012). In our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our same property portfolio consisted of 289 in-service office, industrial and retail properties encompassing 26.2 million square feet that were wholly owned during the entirety of the periods presented therein (from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 20112012). The change in our same property portfolio was due to the addition of oneeight office propertyproperties encompassing 0.32.1 million square feet acquired during 20102011 and threetwo newly developed office properties encompassing 0.50.2 million square feet placed in service during 20102011, offset by the removal of ninetwo office properties and five industrial properties encompassing 1.20.3 million square feet qualifying for discontinued operations during 20122013.

Rental and other revenues related to properties not in our same property portfolio were $18.815.3 million and $8.53.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and 2011, respectively, and $52.6 million and $17.2 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Rental property and other expenses related to properties not in our same property portfolio were $8.76.3 million and $5.02.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012March 31, 2013 and 2011, respectively, and $25.5 million and $10.1 million for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
