Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
SeptemberJune 30, 20162017
(unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., or ROP, commenced operations on June 2, 1995. The sole general partner of ROP is Wyoming Acquisition GP LLC., or WAGP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., or the Operating Partnership. The sole limited partner of ROP is the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is 95.71%95.57% owned by SL Green Realty Corp., or SL Green, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017. SL Green is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, and is the sole managing general partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we," "our," "us" and the "Company" means ROP and all entities owned or controlled by ROP.
ROP is engaged in the acquisition, ownership, management and operation of commercial and residential real estate properties, principally office properties, and also owns land for future development, located in New York City, Westchester County, Connecticut and New Jersey, which collectively is also known as the New York Metropolitan area.
In 2015, SL Green transferred two properties and SL Green's tenancy in common interest in a fee interest with a total value of $395.0 million to ROP. Additionally, in 2015, SL Green transferred one entity that held debt investments and financing receivables with an aggregate carrying value of $1.7 billion to ROP. These transfers were made to further diversify ROP's portfolio. Under the business combinations guidance (Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC, 805-50), these transfers were determined to be transfers of businesses between the indirect parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. As such, the assets and liabilities of the properties were transferred at their carrying values and were recorded as of the beginning of the current reporting period as though the assets and liabilities had been transferred at that date. The financial statements and financial information presented for all prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we owned the following interests in properties in the New York Metropolitan area, primarily in midtown Manhattan. Our investments in the New York Metropolitan area also include investments in Brooklyn, Westchester County, Connecticut and New Jersey, which are collectively known as the Suburban properties:

Subsequent Events
In August 2017, we entered into an agreement to sell 16 Court Street in Brooklyn, NY, for a gross sales price of $171.0 million. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2017.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries, which are wholly-owned or controlled by us. Entities which we do not control through our voting interest and entities which are variable interest entities, but where we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for under the equity method. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments." ROP's investmentsInvestments" and Note 6, "Investments in majority-owned and controlled real estate joint ventures are reflected in the financial statements on a consolidated basis with a reduction for the noncontrolling partners' interests.Unconsolidated Joint Ventures." All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
We consolidate a variable interest entity, or VIE, in which we are considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Included in commercial real estate properties on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are $1.4 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively, related to our consolidated VIEs. Included in mortgages and other loans payable on our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 are $493.8 million and none, respectively, collateralized by the real estate assets of the related consolidated VIEs.
A noncontrolling interest in a consolidated subsidiary is defined as the portion of the equity (net assets) in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. Noncontrolling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of capital in the consolidated balance sheet and the presentation of net income is modified to present earnings and other comprehensive income attributed to controlling and noncontrolling interests.
We assess the accounting treatment for each joint venture and debt and preferred equity investment. This assessment includes a review of each joint venture or limited liability company agreement to determine which party has what rights and whether those rights are protective or participating. For all VIEs, we review such agreements in order to determine which party has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. In situations where we and our partner approve, among other things, the annual budget, receive a detailed monthly reporting package, meet on a quarterly basis to review the results of the joint venture, review and approve the joint venture's tax return before filing, and approve all leases that cover more than a nominal amount of space relative to the total rentable space at each property, we do not consolidate the joint venture as we consider these to be substantive participation rights that result in shared power of the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the joint venture. Our joint venture agreements typically contain certain protective rights such as requiring partner approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and the payment of capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget or operating plan.
Investment in Commercial Real Estate Properties
On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indications that the value of our real estate properties may be other than temporarily impaired or that their carrying value may not be recoverable. A property's value is considered impaired if management's estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the calculated fair value of the property.
We also evaluate our real estate properties for potential impairment when a real estate property has been classified as held for sale. Real estate assets held for sale are valued at the lower of either their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. We do not believe that there were any indicators of impairment at any of our consolidated properties at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017, except for 125 Chubb Avenue in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, and Stamford Towers, for which we recorded aggregate depreciable real estate reserves of $29.1 million and $70.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. See Note 4, "Property Dispositions".
We allocate the purchase price of real estate to land and building (inclusive of tenant improvements) and, if determined to be material, intangibles, such as the value of the above- and below-market leases and origination costs associated with the in-place

leases. We depreciate the amount allocated to building (inclusive of tenant improvements) over their estimated useful lives, which generally range from three to 40 years.years. We amortize the amount allocated to the above- and below-market leases over the remaining term of the associated lease, which generally range from one to 14 years, and record it as either an increase (in the case of below-market leases) or a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) to rental income. We amortize the amount allocated to the values associated with in-place leases over the expected term of the associated lease, which generally ranges from one to 14 years.years. If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual termination of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible will be written off. The tenant improvements and origination costs are amortized as an expense over the remaining life of the lease (or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date). We assess fair value of the leases based on estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property. To the extent acquired

leases contain fixed rate renewal options that are below-market and determined to be material, we amortize such below-market lease value into rental income over the renewal period.
We recognized an increase of $8.1$4.2 million and $15.9$8.4 million inof rental revenue for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, respectively, for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases in excess of above-market leases2017, and a reduction in lease origination costs, resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the applicable properties. We recognized an increase of $8.3$3.8 million and $20.9$7.8 million inof rental revenue for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015, respectively,2016, for the amortization of aggregate below-market leases in excess of above-market leases and a reduction in lease origination costs, resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the applicable properties.
The following summarizes our identified intangible assets (acquired above-market leases and in-place leases) and intangible liabilities (acquired below-market leases) as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 20152016 (in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements
See Note 12, "Fair Value Measurements."
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We assess our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures for recoverability, and if it is determined that a loss in value of the investment is other than temporary, we write down the investment to its fair value. We evaluate our equity investments for impairment based on the joint ventures' projected discounted cash flows. We do not believe that the values of any of our equity investments were impaired at SeptemberJune 30, 2016.
We may originate loans for real estate acquisition, development and construction, where we expect to receive some or all of the residual profit from such projects. When the risk and rewards of these arrangements are essentially the same as an investor or joint venture partner, we account for these arrangements as real estate investments under the equity method of accounting for investments. Otherwise, we account for these arrangements consistent with our loan accounting for our debt and preferred equity investments.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. In order for the tenant to take possession, the leased space must be substantially ready for its intended use. To determine whether the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use, management evaluates whether we are or the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes

9

Table of Contents
Reckson Operation Partnership, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (cont.)
September 30, 2016
(unaudited)

possession of the finished space, which is when such tenant improvements are substantially complete. In certain instances, when management concludes that we are not the owner (the tenant is the owner) of tenant improvements, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the space. When management concludes that we are the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record amounts funded to construct the tenant improvements as a capital asset. For these tenant improvements, we record amounts reimbursed by tenants as a reduction of the capital asset. When management concludes that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred costs, net on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The excess of rents recognized over amounts contractually due pursuant to the underlying leases are included in deferred rents receivable on the consolidated balance sheets. We establish, on a current basis, an allowance for future potential tenant credit losses, which may occur against this account. The balance reflected on the consolidated balance sheets is net of such allowance.
In addition to base rent, our tenants also generally will pay their pro rata share of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses for the building over a base year. In some leases, in lieu of paying additional rent based upon increases in building operating expenses, the tenant will pay additional rent based upon increases in the wage rate paid to porters over the porters' wage rate in effect during a base year or increases in the consumer price index over the index value in effect during a base year. In addition, many of our leases contain fixed percentage increases over the base rent to cover escalations. Electricity is most often supplied by the landlord either on a sub-metered basis, or rent inclusion basis (i.e., a fixed fee is included in the rent for electricity, which amount may increase based upon increases in electricity rates or increases in electrical usage by the tenant). Base building services other than electricity (such as heat, air conditioning and freight elevator service during business hours, and base building cleaning) are typically provided at no additional cost, with the tenant paying additional rent only for services which exceed base building services or for services which are provided outside normal business hours. These escalations are based on actual expenses incurred in the prior calendar year. If the expenses in the current year are different from those in the prior year, then during the current year, the escalations will be adjusted to reflect the actual expenses for the current year.
We record a gain on sale of real estate when title is conveyed to the buyer, subject to the buyer's financial commitment being sufficient to provide economic substance to the sale and provided that we have no substantial economic involvement with the buyer.
Interest income on debt and preferred equity investments is accrued based on the contractual terms of the instruments and when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed collectible. Some debt and preferred equity investments provide for accrual of interest at specified rates, which differ from current payment terms. Interest is recognized on such loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and operations of the borrower. If management cannot make this determination, interest income above the current pay rate is recognized only upon actual receipt.
Deferred origination fees, original issue discounts and loan origination costs, if any, are recognized as an adjustment to the interest income over the terms of the related investments using the effective interest method. Fees received in connection with loan commitments are also deferred until the loan is funded and are then recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield. Discounts or premiums associated with the purchase of loans are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method based on expected cashflows through the expected maturity date of the related investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount, intend to hold it until maturity and expect to recover the full value of the investment, we accrete the discount into income as an adjustment to yield over the term of the investment. If we purchase a debt or preferred equity investment at a discount with the intention of foreclosing on the collateral, we do not accrete the discount. For debt investments acquired at a discount for credit quality, the difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows at acquisition is not accreted. Anticipated exit fees, the collection of which is expected, are also recognized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to yield.
Debt and preferred equity investments are placed on a non-accrual status at the earlier of the date at which payments become 90 days past due or when, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of interest income becomes doubtful. Interest income recognition on any non-accrual debt or preferred equity investment is resumed when such non-accrual debt or preferred equity investment becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Interest is recorded as income on impaired loans only to the extent cash is received.
We may syndicate a portion of the loans that we originate or sell the loans individually. When a transaction meets the criteria for sale accounting, we derecognize the loan sold and recognize gain or loss based on the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the loan sold. Any related unamortized deferred origination fees, original issue discounts, loan origination costs, discounts or premiums at the time of sale are recognized as an adjustment to the gain or loss on sale, which is included in

(unaudited)

investment income on the consolidated statement of operations. Any fees received at the time of sale or syndication are recognized as part of investment income.2017.
Reserve for Possible Credit Losses
The expense for possible credit losses in connection with debt and preferred equity investments is the charge to earnings to increase the allowance for possible credit losses to the level that we estimate to be adequate, based on Level 3 data (as described below), considering delinquencies, loss experience and collateral quality. Other factors considered include geographic trends, product diversification, the size of the portfolio and current economic conditions. Based upon these factors, we establish a provision for possible credit lossesloss on each individual investment. When it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts contractually due, the investment is considered impaired.
Where impairment is indicated on an investment that is held to maturity, a valuation allowance is measured based upon the excess of the recorded investment amount over the net fair value of the collateral. Any deficiency between the carrying amount of an asset and the calculated value of the collateral is charged to expense. We continue to assess or adjust our estimates based on circumstances of a loan and the underlying collateral. If the additional information obtained reflects increased recovery of our investment, we will adjust our reserves accordingly. There were no loan reserves recorded during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015.
Debt and preferred equity investments held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value using available market information obtained through consultation with dealers or other originators of such investments as well as discounted cash flow models based on Level 3 data pursuant to ASC 820-10. As circumstances change, management may conclude not to sell an investment designated as held for sale. In such situations, the investment will be reclassified at its net carrying value to debt and preferred equity investments held to maturity. For these reclassified investments, the difference between the current carrying value and the expected cash to be collected at maturity will be accreted into income over the remaining term of the investment.2016.

We present shares of SL Green common stock as a contra equitycontra-equity account in our financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAPaccounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash investments, debt and preferred equity investments and accounts receivable. We place our cash investments in excess of insured amounts with high quality financial institutions. The collateral securing our debt and preferred equity investments is located in New York City. See Note 5, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments." We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants and require most tenants to provide security deposits or letters of credit. Though these security deposits and letters of credit are insufficient to meet the total value of a tenant's lease obligation, they are a measure of good faith and a source of funds to offset the economic costs associated with lost rentrevenue and the costs associated with re-tenanting a space. Although the

Accounting Standards Updates
In May 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Scope of Modification Accounting. The guidance clarifies the changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award that require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted the guidance.
In February 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-05 to clarify the scope of Subtopic 610-20 as well as provide guidance on accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic 610-20 was issued in May 2014 as part of ASU 2014-09. The Company anticipates adopting this guidance January 1, 2018, and applying the cumulative-effect adoption method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January, 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business The guidance clarifies the definition of a business and provides guidance to assist with determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. The main provision is that an acquiree is not a business if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of assets. The Company adopted the guidance on the issuance date effective January 5, 2017. The Company expects that most of our real estate acquisitions will be considered asset acquisitions under the new guidance and that transaction costs will be capitalized to the investment basis which is then subject to a purchase price allocation based on relative fair value.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The guidance will require entities to show the changes on the total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between these items on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The ASU provides final guidance on eight cash flow issues, including debt prepayment or debt

extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, distributions received from equity method investees, separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle, and others. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company has not yet adopted this newthe guidance effective January 1, 2017 and is currently evaluating thethere was no impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that aren’tare not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current ‘incurred loss’ model with an ‘expected loss’ approach. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 2018. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The guidance simplifies the accounting for share-based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2017 and there was no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Investments Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323). The guidance eliminates 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 amendments require that the equity method investor add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. The Company adopted the guidance is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2016January 1, 2017 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and is currently evaluating thethere was no impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The guidance requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under the previous standard. Depending on the lease classification, lessees will recognize expense based on the effective interest method for finance leases or on a straight-line basis for operating leases. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under the previous standard. One of the impacts on the Company will be the presentation and disclosure in the financial statements of non-lease components such as charges to tenants for a building’s operating expenses. The Guidancenon-lease components will be presented separately from the lease components in both the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets. Another impact is the measurement and presentation of ground leases under which the Company is lessee. The Company is required to record a liability for the obligation to make payments under the lease and an asset for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term and will also apply the new expense recognition requirements given the lease classification. The Company is currently quantifying these impacts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact ofanticipates adopting this new accounting standard onguidance January 1, 2019 and will apply the Company’s consolidated financial statements.modified retrospective approach.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 (ASU825-10)(Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The guidance requires entities to measure equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method at fair value and to record changes in instruments-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured under the fair value option in other comprehensive income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued final guidance to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding debt liability (ASU 2015-03). The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2016. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $24.1 million and $25.4 million, respectively of deferred debt issuance costs, net of amortization are presented as a direct reduction within Mortgages and other loans payable, Revolving credit facility, Term loan and senior unsecured notes on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.
In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance that amends the current consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities (ASU 2015-02). Under this analysis, limited partnerships and other similar entities will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. The Company adopted the guidance effective January 1, 2016. Under the revised guidance, certain entities, including the Operating Partnership, now qualify as variable interest entities while some of our entities originally classified as variable interest entities no longer meet the criteria.  The change in designation did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and did not change the consolidation conclusion on these entities.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new comprehensive revenue recognition guidance which requires us to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services (ASU 2014-09). The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized.
In March 2016, the FASB issued implementation guidance which clarifies principal versus agent considerations in reporting revenue gross versus net (ASU 2016-08).
In April 2016, the FASB issued implementation guidance which clarifies the identification of performance obligations (ASU 2016-10).
In April 2016, the FASB amended its new revenue recognition guidance on identifying performance obligations to allow entities to disregard items that are immaterial and clarify when a good or service is separately identifiable (ASU 2016-10).

In May 2016, the FASB issued implementation guidance relating to transition, collectability, noncash consideration and presentation matters (ASU 2016-12).
These ASUs are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted but not before interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The new guidance can be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has not yet adoptedanticipates adopting this guidance January 1, 2018, and applying the cumulative-effect adoption method. Since the Company’s revenue is currently evaluatingrelated to leasing activities, the newadoption of this guidance to determinewill not have a material impact on the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Master Repurchase AgreementAgreements
The Company has entered into two Master Repurchase Agreement,Agreements, or MRAs, known as the 2016 MRA providesand 2017 MRA, which provide us with the ability to sell certain debt investments with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase the same at a certain date or on demand. This MRA has a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million and bears interest ranging from 225 and 400 basis points over 30-day LIBOR depending on the pledged collateral. Since December 6, 2015, we have been required to pay monthly in arrears a 25 basis point fee on the excess of $150.0 million over the average daily balance during the period if the average daily balance is less than $150.0 million. We seek to mitigate risks associated with our repurchase agreement by managing the credit quality of our assets, early repayments, interest rate volatility, liquidity, and market value. The margin call provisions under our repurchase facilityfacilities permit valuation adjustments based on capital markets activity, and are not limited to collateral-specific credit marks. To monitor credit risk associated with our debt investments, our asset management team regularly reviews our investment portfolio and is in contact with our borrowers in order to monitor the collateral and enforce our rights as necessary. The risk associated with potential margin calls is further mitigated by our ability to recollateralize the facility with additional assets from our portfolio of debt investments, our ability to satisfy margin calls with cash or cash equivalents and our access to additional liquidity through the 2012 credit facility, as defined below.
In June 2017, we entered into the 2017 MRA, with a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million. The facility bears interest on a floating rate basis at a spread to 30-day LIBOR based on the pledged collateral and advance rate and has an initial one year term, with two one year extension options. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015,2017, the gross bookfacility had a carrying value of $(1.3) million, representing deferred financing costs presented within other liabilities.

10. Preferred Units
Through a consolidated subsidiary, we have authorized up to 109,161 3.5%3.50% Series A Preferred Units of limited partnership interest, or the Greene Series A Preferred Units, with a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per unit. In August 2015, the Company issued 109,161 Greene Series A Preferred Units in conjunction with an acquisition. The Greene Series A Preferred unitholders receive annual dividends of $35.00 per unit paid on a quarterly basis and dividends are cumulative, subject to certain provisions. The Greene Series A Preferred Units can be redeemed at any time, at the option of the unitholder, either for cash or are convertible on a one-for-one basis, into the Series B Preferred Units of limited partnership interest, or the Greene Series B Preferred Units. The Greene Series B Preferred Units can be converted at any time, at the option of the unitholder, into a number of common stock equal to 6.71348 shares of SL Green common stock for each Greene Series B Preferred Unit. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, no Greene Series B Preferred Units have been issued.
ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging requires bifurcation of certain embedded derivative instruments, such as conversion features in convertible equity instruments, and their measurement at fair value for accounting purposes. The conversion feature embedded in the GreeneSubsidiary Series A Preferred Units was evaluated, and it was determined that the conversion feature should be bifurcated from its host instrument and accounted for as a freestanding derivative. The derivative is reported as a derivative liability in accrued interest and other liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and is adjusted to its fair value at each reporting date, with a corresponding adjustment to interest expense, net of interest income. The embedded derivative for the GreeneSubsidiary Series A Preferred Units was initially recorded at a fair value of zero on July 22, 2015, the date of issuance. At December 31, 2015,2016, the carrying amount of the derivative was adjusted to its fair value of zero, with a corresponding adjustment to preferred units and interest expense, net of interest income. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, the carrying amount and fair value of the derivative remained at zero.
11. Partners' Capital
Since consummation of the Merger on January 25, 2007, the Operating Partnership has owned all the economic interests in ROP either by direct ownership or by indirect ownership through our general partner, which is its wholly-owned subsidiary.

12. Fair Value Measurements
We are required to disclose fair value information with regard to our financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets, for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The FASB guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. We measure and/or disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on a hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels: Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date; Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that are used when little or no market data is available. We follow this hierarchy for our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis. In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of the particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
We determine other than temporary impairment in real estate investments and debt and preferred equity investments, including intangibles primarily utilizing cash flow projections that apply, among other things, estimated revenue and expense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, as well as sales comparison approach, which utilizes comparable sales, listings and sales contracts. All of which are classified as Level 3 inputs.
The fair value of derivative instruments is based on current market data received from financial sources that trade such instruments and are based on prevailing market data and derived from third party proprietary models based on well-recognized financial principles and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions, which are classified as Level 2 inputs.
The financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, debt and preferred equity investments, mortgages and other loans payable and other secured and unsecured debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in our consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments. The fair value of debt and preferred equity investments, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with the same maturities would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. The fair value of borrowings, which is classified as Level 3, is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows of each debt instrument to their present value using adjusted market interest rates, which is provided by a third-party specialist.

such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
13. Financial Instruments: Derivatives and Hedging
In the normal course of business, we use a variety of commonly used derivative instruments, such as interest rate swaps, caps, collar and floors, to manage, or hedge interest rate risk. We hedge our exposure to variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions in addition to anticipated future interest payments on existing debt. We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheets at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedge asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. Reported net income and capitalequity may increase or decrease prospectively, depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items, but will have no effect on cash flows. Currently, all of our designated derivative instruments are effective hedging instruments. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the Company had not designated any interest rate swap agreements on any debt investment.
Gains and losses on terminated hedges are included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss, and are recognized into earnings over the term of the related senior unsecured notes. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the deferred net losses from these terminated hedges, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to net unrealized loss on derivative instrument,instruments, was approximately $1.7$1.4 million and $2.0$1.6 million, respectively.
Over time, the realized and unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense in the same periods in which the hedged interest payments affect earnings. We estimate that approximately $0.4 million of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified into interest expense within the next 12 months.

Income from continuing operations represents total revenues less total expenses for the real estate segment and total investment income less allocated interest expense for the debt and preferred equity segment. Interest costs for the debt and preferred equity segment includes actual costs incurred for investments collateralizingborrowings on the 2016 MRA and 2017 MRA. Interest is imputed on the remaining investments that do not collateralize the 2016 MRA or 2017 MRA using our 2012 revolving credit facility and corporate borrowing cost. We also allocate loan loss reserves, net of recoveries, and transaction related costs to the debt and preferred equity segment.
We do not allocate marketing, general and administrative expenses to the debt and preferred equity segment since the use of personnel and resources is dependent on transaction volume between the two segments and varies period over period. In addition, we base performance on the individual segments prior to allocating marketing, general and administrative expenses. For the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, and 2016, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.20.1 million, and $0.60.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.1$0.2 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. All other expenses, except interest, relate entirely to the real estate assets.
There were no transactions between the above two segments.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Overview
Reckson Operating Partnership, L.P., or ROP, commenced operations on June 2, 1995. The sole general partner of ROP is Wyoming Acquisition GP LLC., or WAGP, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P., or the Operating Partnership. The sole limited partner of ROP is the Operating Partnership. SL Green Realty Corp., or SL Green, is the general partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless the context requires otherwise, all references to "we," "our," "us" and the "Company" means ROP and all entities owned or controlled by ROP.
ROP is engaged in the acquisition, ownership, management and operation of commercial and residential real estate properties, principally office properties, and also owns land for future development, located in New York City, Westchester County, Connecticut and New Jersey, which collectively is also known as the New York Metropolitan area.
In 2015, SL Green transferred two properties and SL Green's tenancy in common interest in a fee interest with a total value of $395.0 million to ROP. Additionally, in 2015, SL Green transferred one entity that held debt investments and financing receivables with an aggregate carrying value of $1.7 billion to ROP. These transfers were made to further diversify ROP's portfolio. Under the business combinations guidance (Accounting Standard Codification, or ASC, 805-50), these transfers were determined to be transfers of businesses between the indirect parent company and its wholly-owned subsidiary. As such, the assets and liabilities of the properties were transferred at their carrying values and were recorded as of the beginning of the current reporting period as though the assets and liabilities had been transferred at that date. The financial statements and financial information presented for all prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted to furnish comparative information.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, we owned the following interests in properties in the New York Metropolitan area, primarily in midtown Manhattan. Our investments in the New York Metropolitan area also include investments in Brooklyn, Westchester County, Connecticut and New Jersey, which are collectively known as the Suburban properties:

Rental, Escalation and Reimbursement Revenues
Rental revenue increased primarily as a result of increases in rents and occupancy at our same store propertiesSame-Store Properties ($6.67.9 million), the acquisition of 110 Greene Street in July of 2015which included 711 Third Avenue ($5.12.7 million), 919 Third Avenue ($2.5 million), 304 Park Avenue South ($1.7 million), and increased revenues at 752 Madison125 Park Avenue resulting from a lease renewal in the fourth quarter of 2015 ($3.4 million). These increases were partially offset by decreased revenues at 115 Spring Street as a result of the accelerated recognition of non-cash deferred income upon terminating the retail lease at the property in August 2015 ($2.6 million), and the sale of an 80% interest in 131-137 Spring Street in the third quarter of 2015 ($1.01.1 million).
Escalation and reimbursement revenue increaseddecreased primarily as a result of higherlower operating cost recoveries ($0.9 million), as well as higher real estateand tax recoveries ($0.7 million)at our Same-Store Properties ($2.4 million).
Occupancy in our Manhattan office operating properties increased to 96.6% at September 30, 2016 compared to 95.8% at September 30, 2015. Occupancy in our Suburban office operating properties increased to 82.6% at September 30, 2016 compared to 81.5% at September 30, 2015.

Investment Income
For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017, investment income increased primarily as a result of additionalpreviously unrecognized income recognized fromrelated to our preferred equity investment in 885 Third Avenue ($9.4 million), a larger weighted average book balance and an increase in the recapitalization of a debt investment ($41.0 million). This increase wasLIBOR benchmark rate. These increases were partially offset by lower weighted average yield and balance duringrepayments of high yielding loans in the three months ended September 30,second half of 2016. For the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $1.5$2.1 billion and 9.4%, respectively, compared to $1.6$1.4 billion and 10.1%9.5%, respectively, for the same period in 2015.2016. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, the debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of 1.6 years.2.4 years excluding extension options.
Other Income
Other income increased primarily as a result of a lease buy-out at one of our properties ($0.6 million).
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased primarily as a result of higher real estate taxes resulting from higher assessed values and tax rates at our Same-Store Properties ($2.1 million), partially offset by the sale of 520 White Plains Road ($0.6 million) in 2017.
Transaction Related Costs
The decrease in transaction related costs in 2017 is primarily due to the adoption of ASU No. 2017-01 in 2017, which clarified the definition of a business and provided guidance to assist in determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. Following the adoption of the guidance, most of our real estate acquisitions are considered asset acquisitions and transaction costs are therefore capitalized to the investment basis when they would have previously been expensed under the previous guidance. Transaction costs expensed in 2017 relate primarily to deals that are not moving forward for which any costs incurred are expensed.
Interest Expense and Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense and amortization of financing costs, net of interest income, increased primarily as a result of the refinance of 315 West 33rd Street in the first quarter of 2017 ($3.0 million), as well as an increase in the term loan balance in the third quarter of 2016 ($1.2 million). The weighted average consolidated debt balance outstanding decreased to $3.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $3.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The weighted average interest rate was 3.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 3.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased primarily as a result of increased capitalized expenditures at our Same-Store Properties ($1.1 million), partially offset by the sale of 520 White Plains ($0.4 million) in 2017.
Equity in Net Income from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased primarily as a result of the repayment of a debt investment early in the second quarter of 2017 ($1.2 million), partially offset by a new debt investment which was contributed to a joint venture in the third quarter of 2016 ($0.6 million).
Depreciable Real Estate Reserves
During the three months ended June 30, 2017 we recognized depreciable real estate reserves related to 125 Chubb Avenue ($26.6 million), Stamford Towers ($2.1 million), and 520 White Plains Road ($0.4 million).
Gain (loss) on Sale of Real Estate
During the three months ended June 30, 2017 we recognized a gain on the sale of 102 Greene Street ($4.9 million). During the three months ended June 30, 2016 we recognized a loss on the sale of 7 International Drive, Westchester County, NY ($6.9 million).

Investment Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2017, investment income increased primarily as a result of previously unrecognized income related to our preferred equity investment in 885 Third Avenue ($9.4 million), a larger weighted average balance during the period, and an increase in the LIBOR benchmark rate. These increases were partially as a result of accelerated recognition of income on the early repayment of certain debt positions in 2016 ($10.2 million). For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $1.9 billion and 9.4%, respectively, compared to $1.5 billion and 9.9%, respectively, for the same period in 2016. As of June 30, 2017, the debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of 2.4 years excluding extension options.
Other Income
Other income decreased primarily as a result of the reversal of $1.2 million of fees, which were recognized in the prior year, as a result of the Company being relieved of the obligation to perform certain services lease buyout received at 125 Park Avenue in 2015 ($1.7 million), and a lease termination fee received at 919 Third Avenue in 2015 ($1.1 million).
Property Operating Expenses

Rental, Escalation and Reimbursement Revenues
Rental revenue increased primarily as a result of increases in rents and occupancy at our same store properties500 West Putnam ($26.2 million), the acquisition of 110 Greene Street in July 2015 ($10.3 million), and increased rental revenue at 752 Madison Avenue resulting from a lease renewal in the fourth quarter of 2015 ($10.1 million). These increases were partially offset by decreased revenues at 115 Spring Street as a result of the accelerated recognition of non-cash deferred income upon terminating the retail lease at the property in 2015 ($5.4 million), and the sale of 140-150 Grand Street in the fourth quarter of 2015 ($2.410.4 million).
Escalation and reimbursement revenue increased primarily as a result of higher real estate tax recoveries ($3.2 million), as well as operating cost recoveries ($2.0 million).
Occupancy in our Manhattan office operating properties increased to 96.6% at September 30, 2016 compared to 95.8% at September 30, 2015. Occupancy in our Suburban office operating properties increased to 82.6% at September 30, 2016 compared to 81.5% at September 30, 2015.
Investment Income
Investment income increased primarily as a result of additional income recognized from the recapitalization of a debt investment ($41.0 million). This increase was partially offset by a lower weighted average yield and balance during the first nine months of 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $1.5 billion and 9.8%, respectively, compared to $1.6 billion and 10.2%, respectively, for the same period in 2015. As of September 30, 2016, the debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of 1.6 years.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses increased primarily as a result of higher real estate taxes resulting from higher assessed values and tax rates ($6.7 million).

Interest Expense and Amortization of Financing Costs, Net of Interest Income
Interest expense and amortization of financing costs, net of interest income, increased primarily as a result of a higher weighted average balance of the master repurchase agreement ($4.1 million), offset by a lower weighted average balance of the 2012 revolving credit facility ($2.6 million). The weighted average consolidated debt balance outstanding was $3.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The weighted average interest rate was 3.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of 110 Greene Street in the third quarter of 2015 ($9.0 million), partially offset by the sale of an 80% interest in 131-137 Spring Street in the third quarter of 2015 ($2.1 million).
Equity in Net Income from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased primarily as a result of the contribution of a debt investment to an unconsolidated joint venture in March 2016 ($3.2 million).
(Loss) Gain (loss) on Sale of Real Estate
During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on the sale of a 90% interest in 102 Greene Street ($4.9 million). During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized a loss on the sale of 7 International Drive, Westchester County, NY ($6.9 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recognized a gain on sale associated with the sale of an 80% interest in 131-137 Spring Street ($101.1 million).
Depreciable Real Estate Reserves
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a $10.0 million charge in connection with the expected sale of one of our properties.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On January 25, 2007, we were acquired by SL Green. See Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources" in SL Green and the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20152016 for a complete discussion of additional sources of liquidity available to us due to our indirect ownership by SL Green.
We currently expect that our principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital, and funds for acquisition andacquisitions, development or redevelopment of properties, tenant improvements, leasing costs, repurchases or

(4)otherOther forms of secured or unsecured financing;
(5)netNet proceeds from divestitures of properties and redemptions, participations and dispositions of debt and preferred equity investments; and
(6)proceedsProceeds from debt offerings by us.
Cash flow from operations is primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the net effective rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent, operating escalations and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating and other costs. Additionally, we believe that our debt and preferred equity investment program will continue to serve as a source of operating cash flow.
We believe that our sources of working capital, specifically our cash flow from operations and SL Green's liquidity are adequate for us to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows
The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on our consolidated statements of cash flows in "Item 1. Financial Statements" and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.

Our principal source of operating cash flow is related to the leasing and operating of the properties in our portfolio. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and make distributions to SL Green. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, our operating portfolio was 92.7%91.0% occupied. Our debt and preferred investments also provide a steady stream of operating cash flow to us.
Cash is used in investing activities to fund acquisitions, development or redevelopment projects and recurring and nonrecurring capital expenditures. We selectively invest in new projects that enable us to take advantage of our development, leasing, financing and property management skills and invest in existing buildings that meet our investment criteria. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2017, when compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015,2016, we receivedused cash primarily for the following investing activities (in thousands):

2012 Credit Facility
In August 2016, we entered into an amendment to the credit facility that was originally entered into by the Company in November 2012, referred to as the 2012 credit facility. As of September 30, 2016, the 2012 credit facility, as amended, consisted of a $1.6 billion revolving credit facility and a $1.2 billion term loan, with a maturity date of March 29, 2019 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The revolving credit facility has an as-of-right extension to March 29, 2020. We also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity under the revolving credit facility to $3.0 billion at any time prior to the maturity date for the revolving credit facility without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from our existing lenders and other financial institutions.
As of September 30, 2016, the 2012 credit facility bore interest at a spread over LIBOR ranging from (i) 87.5 basis points to 155 basis points for loans under the revolving credit facility and (ii) 95 basis points to 190 basis points for loans under the term loan facility, in each case based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP.
At September 30, 2016, the applicable spread was 125 basis points for the revolving credit facility and 140 basis points for the term loan facility. At September 30, 2016, the effective interest rate was 1.73% for the revolving credit facility and 1.90% for the term loan facility. We are required to pay quarterly in arrears a 12.5 to 30 basis point facility fee on the total commitments under the revolving credit facility based on the credit rating assigned to the senior unsecured long term indebtedness of ROP. As of September 30, 2016, the facility fee was 25 basis points.
As of September 30, 2016,2017, we had $56.5$80.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, zero$200.0 million drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.2 billion outstanding under the term loan facility, with total undrawn capacity of $1.5$1.3 billion under the 2012 credit facility. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $(6.9)$195.1 million representing deferred financing costs presented within other liabilities, and $985.1$(6.3) million, respectively, net of deferred financing costs. The December 31, 2016 carrying value represents deferred financing costs and is presented within other liabilities. At SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and December 31, 2015,2016, the term loan facility had a carrying value of $1.2 billion and $929.5 million,$1.2 billion, respectively, net of deferred financing costs.
We,ROP, SL Green, and the Operating Partnership are all borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2012 credit facility. None of SL Green's other subsidiaries are obligors under the 2012 credit facility.
The 2012 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).

(3)This note was repaid in March 2016.
ROP also provides a guaranty of the Operating Partnership's obligations under its 3.00% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2017.

Restrictive Covenants
The terms of the 2012 credit facility, as amended, and certain of our senior unsecured notes include certain restrictions and covenants which may limit, among other things, SL Green's ability to pay dividends, make certain types of investments, incur additional indebtedness, incur liens and enter into negative pledge agreements and dispose of assets, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to the maximum ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value, a minimum ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges, a maximum ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value and a maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value. The dividend restriction referred to above provides that SL Green will not during any time when a default is continuing, make distributions with respect to SL Green's common stock or other equity interests, except to enable SL Green to continue to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. As of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 and 2015,2016, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily from our variable rate debt. Our exposure to interest rate changesfluctuations are managed through either the use of interest rate derivative instruments and/or through our variable rate debt and preferred equity investments. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates along the entire interest rate curve for 20162017 would decrease our annual interest cost, net of interest income from variable rate debt and preferred equity investments, by approximately $6.1$4.4 million. At SeptemberJune 30, 2016, $1.2 billion2017, 61.0% of our $1.8$2.0 billion debt and preferred equity portfolio is indexed to LIBOR.
We recognize most derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through income. If a derivative is considered a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset, liability, or firm commitment through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.

Our variable rate debt as of SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 bore interest based on a spread of LIBOR plus 140125 basis points to LIBOR plus 273313 basis points.
Contractual Obligations
Refer to our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of our contractual obligations. There have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, to these contractual obligations during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2017.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have off-balance sheet investments, including debt and preferred equity investments. These investments all have varying ownership structures. Our off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed in Note 5, "Preferred"Debt and Preferred Equity Investments and Other Investments," in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Capital Expenditures
We estimate that for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2016,2017, we expect to incur $2.5$17.4 million of recurring capital expenditures and $16.6$53.1 million of development or redevelopment expenditures, net of loan reserves, (including tenant improvements and leasing commissions) on existing consolidated properties. We expect to fund these capital expenditures with operating cash flow, additional property level mortgage financings and cash on hand. Future property acquisitions may require substantial capital investments for refurbishment and leasing costs. We expect to fund these capital expenditures with operating cash flow, existing liquidity, or incremental borrowings. We expect our capital needs over the next twelve-monthstwelve months and thereafter will be met through a combination of cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, borrowings, potential asset sales, borrowings, or additional debt issuances.

The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, or TRIA, which was enacted in November 2002, was renewed December 31, 2005 and again on December 31, 2007. Congress extended TRIA, now called TRIPRA (Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization and Extension Act of 2007) until December 31, 2014. TRIPRA was not renewed by Congress and expired on December 31, 2014. However, on January 12, 2015, TRIPRA2007 ("TRIPRA") (formerly the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act) was reauthorized until December 31, 2020 (Terrorismpursuant to the Terrorism Insurance Program Reauthorization and Extension Act of 2015).The law2015.

Our debt instruments, consisting of a non-recourse mortgage noteloans secured by one of our properties (which are generally non-recourse to us), mezzanine loans, ground leases, our 2012 credit facility, senior unsecured notes and other corporate obligations, as well as ground leases, contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we currently maintain sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy these obligations, there is no assurance that in the future we will be able to procure coverage at a reasonable cost. In such instances, there can be no assurance that the lenders or ground lessors under these instruments will not take the position that a total or partial exclusion from “all-risk” insurance coverage for losses due to, for example, terrorist acts is a breach of these debt and ground lease instruments allowing the lenders or ground lessors to declare an event of default and accelerate repayment of debt or recapture of ground lease positions.

We obtained insurance coverage through an insurance program administered by SL Green. In connection with this program, we incurred insurance expense of approximately $1.5$1.4 million $4.4and $2.8 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016, respectively.2017. We incurred insurance expense of approximately $1.7$1.4 million and $5.0$3.0 million for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2015.2016.
Inflation
Substantially all of our office leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations as well as operating expense recoveries based on increases in the Consumer Price Index or other measures such as porters' wage. In addition, many of

the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases will be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above.

Table of this report may include additional factors that could adversely affect ROP's business and financial performance. In addition, sections of SL Green and the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 contain additional factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within ROP to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Treasurer of our general partner, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, the President and Treasurer of our general partner concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to give reasonable assurances to the timely collection, evaluation and disclosure of information relating to ROP that would potentially be subject to disclosure under the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 20162017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
