Basis of Quarterly Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The operating results for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017.2018. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 20162017 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but dodoes not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
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" and Note 6, "Investments in 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.
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 September 30, 2017. We recorded $0.4 million depreciable real estate reserves for the three months ended September 30, 2017, and aggregate depreciable real estate reserves of $85.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 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 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. 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. 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.

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.

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 September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.
Reserve for Possible Credit Losses
The expensereserve 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, 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 loss 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 additional information reflects increased recovery of our investment, we will adjust our reserves accordingly. There were no loan reserves recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016.2017.
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.
Income Taxes
ROP is a disregarded entity of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P. for federal income tax purposes, and, as a result, all income and losses of ROP are considered income and losses of SL Green Operating Partnership, L. P. No provision has been made for income taxes in the consolidated financial statements since such taxes, if any, are the responsibility of the individual partners of SL Green Operating Partnership, L.P.

Shares Contributed by Parent Company
We present shares of SL Green common stock as a contra-equity account within general partner capital in our consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting 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 with high quality financial institutions. The collateral securing our debt and preferred equity investments is located in the New York City.metropolitan area. 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 revenue and the costs associated with re-tenanting a space.
The properties in our real estate portfolio are primarily located in Manhattan. We also have properties located in Brooklyn, Westchester County, Connecticut andthe New Jersey.York metropolitan area. The tenants located in our buildings operate in various industries. No tenant in our portfolio accounted for more than 5.0% of our share of annualized cash rent, including our share of joint venture annualized rent, at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, 13.8%March 31, 2018, 16.1%, 9.1%10.5%, 7.4%8.5%, 7.2%8.3%, 8.1%, 7.1%, 6.3%, 6.1%, and 5.9%5.4% of our share ofannualized cash rent, including our share of joint venture annualized rent was attributable to 1185 Avenue of the Americas, 625 Madison Avenue, 919 Third Avenue, 750 Third Avenue, 810 Seventh Avenue, 555 West 57th Street, 125 Park Avenue. and 1350711 Third Avenue, of the Americas, respectively. Our share of annualizedAnnualized cash rent for all other properties was below 5.0%.
Reclassification
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to our current year presentation.
Accounting Standards Updates
In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments- Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. These amendments provide additional guidance related to equity securities without a readily determinable fair value, forward contracts and options purchased on those equity securities and fair value option liabilities. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018. The Company has not yet adopted this new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the new standard is implemented.
In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU)ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in the new standard will permit more flexibility in hedging interest rate risk for both variable rate and fixed rate financial instruments. The standard will also enhance the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet adopted the guidance, and does not expect a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the new standard is implemented.
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 modified retrospective approach. 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 inrequires that the statement of cash flows.flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. 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 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. The Company adopted the guidance effectiveon January 1, 20172018 and there was no impacthas included the changes in restricted cash when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.statement of cash flows.
In June 2016, the FASB issued 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 are 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 15, 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.

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 effective January 1, 2017 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.31, 2018

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 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 beHowever, the presentation and disclosure in the financial statements of non-lease components such as charges to tenants for a building’s operating expenses. Theexpenses has been updated. In January 2018, the FASB issued an exposure draft, Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, which would provide lessors with a practical expedient to not separate non-lease components will be presented separately from the related lease componentscomponent under certain conditions. At the March 2018 Board meeting, the Board approved an amendment to the practical expedient. We anticipate the majority of our leases would qualify for the amended practical expedient. We expect this amended guidance to be finalized in both2018 and, as a result, we would adopt the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Balance Sheets.practical expedient. 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 includingand interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates adoptingexpects to adopt this guidance January 1, 2019 and will apply the modified retrospective approach.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 (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 andthrough earnings, to record changes in instruments-specificinstrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities measured under the fair value option in other comprehensive income.

The Company has not yet adopted this newthe guidance effective January 1, 2018, and is currently evaluating theit had no impact of adopting this new accounting standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
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 FASB also issued implementation guidance in March 2016, April 2016 and May 2016 - ASU’s 2016-08, 2016-10 and 2016-12, respectively.
These ASUs are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will adoptadopted this guidance on January 1, 2018. Since the Company’s revenue is related to leasing activities, the adoption of this guidance willdid not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The new guidance is applicable to service contracts with joint ventures for which the Company earns property management fees, leasing commissions and development and construction fees. The adoption of this new guidance doesdid not change the accounting for these fees as the pattern of recognition of revenue does not change with the new guidance. We will continue to recognize revenue over time on these contracts because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by our performance. Thus,
In February 2017, the analysisFASB issued ASU No. 2017-05 to clarify the scope of ourasset derecognition guidance in Subtopic 610-20, which also provided 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 adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018, and applied the modified retrospective approach. The Company elected to adopt the practical expedient under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which allows an entity to apply the guidance only to contracts underwith non-customers that are open based on ASU 360-20, Real Estate Sales, (i.e. failed sales) as of the new revenue recognition standard is consistent with our current revenue recognition model.adoption date.

Master Repurchase Agreements
The Company has entered into two Master Repurchase Agreements, or MRAs, known as the 2016 MRA and 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. 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 facilities 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 and 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.equivalents.
In June 2017, we entered into the 2017 MRA, with a maximum facility capacity of $300.0 million. In April 2018, we increased the maximum facility capacity to $400.0 million. The facility bears interest on a floating rate basis at a spread to 30-day LIBOR

10. Preferred Units
Through a consolidated subsidiary, we have authorized up to 109,161 3.50% Series A Preferred Units of limited partnership interest, or the GreeneSubsidiary Series A Preferred Units, with a liquidation preference of $1,000.00 per unit. In August 2015, the Company issued 109,161 GreeneSubsidiary Series A Preferred Units in conjunction with an acquisition. The GreeneSubsidiary 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 GreeneSubsidiary 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 GreeneSubsidiary Series B Preferred Units. The GreeneSubsidiary 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 GreeneSubsidiary Series B Preferred Unit. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, no GreeneSubsidiary 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 Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Series A Preferred Units was initially recorded at a fair value of zero on July 22, 2015, the date of issuance. At DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2018, 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 September 30, 2017, 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 ROPus 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.

The Company has initiated proceedings to foreclose onrecorded its non-controlling interest at fair value resulting in a $54.9 million fair value adjustment in the property,consolidated statement of operations. This fair value was determined using a third party valuation which primarily utilized cash flow projections that apply, among other things, estimated revenue and expects to take controlexpense growth rates, discount rates and capitalization rates, as well as sales comparison approach, which utilizes comparable sales, listings and sales contracts. All of the property unless the buyer is able to repay the principal and interest, including default interest and fees, on the notes receivable in full prior to the completion of the foreclosure process. We believe the collateral value is sufficient to recover the carrying amounts of the notes receivable.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.

At December 31, 2016, debt and preferred equity investments had an estimated fair value ranging between $1.6 billion and $1.8$2.3 billion.
Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments was based on pertinent information available to us as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017. Although we are not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the reasonable fair value amounts, 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 sheetssheet 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 equity 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 September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Company had not designated any interest rate swap agreements on any debt investment.
Gains and losses on terminated hedges are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss,income, and are recognized into earnings over the term of the related senior unsecured notes. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the deferred net losses from these terminated hedges, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive lossincome relating to net unrealized loss on derivative instruments, was approximately zero and $1.3 million, and $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 $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 before equity in net income from continuing operations unconsolidated joint ventures, equity in net (loss) gain on sale of interest in unconsolidated joint venture/real estate, purchase price and other fair value adjustments, and depreciable real estate reserves 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 borrowings oninvestments collateralizing the 2016 MRA and 2017 MRA.MRAs. Interest is imputed on the remaining investments that do not collateralize the 2016 MRA or 2017 MRA using our 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 allocatingexcluding marketing, general and administrative expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.1 million, $0.2 million, $0.3 million, and $0.6 million, respectively. All other expenses, except interest, relate entirely to the real estate assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, marketing, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
There were no transactions between the above two segments.

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.

Investment Income

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the weighted average debt and preferred equity investment balance outstanding and weighted average yield were $1.9 billion and 9.3% excluding our investment in Two Herald Square which was put on non-accrual in August 2017, respectively, compared to $1.5 billion and 9.8%, respectively, for the same period in 2016. As of September 30, 2017, the debt and preferred equity investments had a weighted average term to maturity of 2.3 years excluding extension options and excluding our investment in Two Herald Square.
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.
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 ($5.6 million), partially offset by decreased operating expenses from our Disposed Properties ($2.4 million) which included the sale 520 White Plains Road ($1.3 million) in the second quarter of 2017, and the sale of 680/750 Washington Boulevard ($1.0 million) in the third quarter of 2017.
Transaction Related Costs

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 ($7.7 million), and increased interest expense related to our repurchase agreements ($1.2 million). The weighted average consolidated debt balance outstanding was $3.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $3.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The weighted average consolidated interest rate was 3.86% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to 3.57% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased primarily as a result of the Disposed Properties ($3.1 million), which included the sale of 680/750 Washington Boulevard ($1.9 million) in the third quarter of 2017, and the sale of 520 White Plains Road ($1.2 million) in the second quarter of 2017.
Equity in Net Income from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
Equity in net income from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased primarily as a result of the second quarter 2017 repayment of a debt investment which was contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture in the third quarter of 2016 ($1.4 million), partially offset by the contribution of a debt investment to an unconsolidated joint venture in the second quarter of 2017 ($1.3 million).
Equity in net gain (loss) on sale of interest in unconsolidated joint venture/real estate
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on sale related to our interests in 102 Greene Street ($0.3 million).
Depreciable Real Estate Reserves
During the nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2017, we recorded a $85.7$56.3 million charge in connection with 520 White Plains Road in Tarrytown, NY, and 680/750 Washington Boulevard in Stamford, Connecticut.
Gain (loss) on Sale of Real Estate
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a gain on the sale associated with the partial sale of the property at 102 Greene Street ($4.9 million). During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a loss on the sale of 7 International Drive, Westchester County, NY ($6.9 million).

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, 20162017 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, acquisitions, development or redevelopment of properties, tenant improvements, leasing costs, repurchases or repayments of outstanding indebtedness (which may include exchangeable debt) and for debt and preferred equity investments willmay include:
(1)Cash flow from operations;
(2)Cash on hand;
(3)Borrowings under the 2012 credit facility;
(4)Other forms of secured or unsecured financing;
(5)Net proceeds from divestitures of properties and redemptions, participations and dispositions of debt and preferred equity investments;
(4)Other forms of secured or unsecured financing; and
(6)(5)Proceeds 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.

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 September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, our operating portfolio was 93.2%92.8% occupied. Our debt and preferred equity 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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, when compared to the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we used cash primarily for the following investing activities (in thousands):

20122017 Credit Facility
In November 2017, the Company, SL Green and the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment to the credit facility, referred to as the 2017 credit facility, that was originally entered into in November 2012, or the 2012 credit facility. The amendment resulted in the Company no longer being a borrower, and instead is providing a guarantee of the facility. The 2012 credit facility had a carrying value of $1.2 billion, net of deferred financing costs, as of the amendment date and was removed from our consolidated balance sheet and shown as a non-cash capital contribution. SL Green and the Operating Partnership remain borrowers jointly and severally obligated under the 2017 credit facility. As of March 31, 2018, the 2017 credit facility consisted of a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, a $1.3 billion term loan (or "Term Loan A"), and a $200.0 million term loan (or "Term Loan B") with maturity dates of March 31, 2022, March 31, 2023, and November 21, 2024, respectively. The revolving credit facility has two six-month as-of-right extension options to March 31, 2023. SL Green and the Operating Partnership also have an option, subject to customary conditions, to increase the capacity of the credit facility to $4.5 billion at any time prior to the maturity dates for the revolving credit facility and term loans without the consent of existing lenders, by obtaining additional commitments from the existing lenders and other financial institutions.
As of September 30, 2017, weMarch 31, 2018, SL Green and the Operating Partnership had $80.8$11.8 million of outstanding letters of credit, $280.0 millionzero drawn under the revolving credit facility and $1.2$1.5 billion outstanding under the term loan facility,facilities, with total undrawn capacity of $1.2$1.5 billion under the 20122017 credit facility. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the revolving credit facility had a carrying value of $275.8$(9.2) million and $(6.3)$30.3 million, respectively, net of deferred financing costs. The DecemberMarch 31, 20162018 carrying value represents deferred financing costs and is presented within other liabilities. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the term loan facilityfacilities had a carrying value of $1.2$1.5 billion and $1.2$1.5 billion, respectively, net of deferred financing costs.
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 20122017 credit facility includes certain restrictions and covenants (see Restrictive Covenants below).

Restrictive Covenants
The terms of the 20122017 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 September 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 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 fluctuations 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 20172018 would decrease our annual interest cost, net of interest income from variable rate debt and preferred equity investments, by approximately $3.7$10.8 million. At September 30, 2017, 59.9%March 31, 2018, 69.1% of our $2.0$1.8 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 long-term debt of $2.3$1.2 billion bears interest at fixed rates, and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. Our variable rate debt as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2018 bore interest based on a spread of LIBOR plus 125 basis points to LIBOR plus 313223 basis points.
Contractual Obligations
Refer to our 20162017 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 nine months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.
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, "Debt and Preferred Equity Investments," in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Capital Expenditures
We estimate that for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2017,2018, we expect to incur $24.2$70.5 million of recurring capital expenditures and $7.4$40.1 million of development or redevelopment expenditures, net of loan reserves, (including tenant improvements and leasing commissions) on existing consolidated properties. 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 months and thereafter will be met through a combination of cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, potential asset sales, borrowings, or additional debt issuances.
Insurance
ROP isWe are insured through a program administered by SL Green. SL Green maintains “all-risk” property and rental value coverage (including coverage regarding the perils of flood, earthquake and terrorism, excluding nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological terrorism ("NBCR")), within three property insurance programs and liability insurance. Management believes the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage, and industry practice. Separate property and liability coverage may be purchased on a stand-alone basis for certain assets.
On January 12, 2015, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization and Extension Act of 2007 ("TRIPRA") (formerly the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act) was reauthorized until December 31, 2020 pursuant to the Terrorism Insurance Program Reauthorization and Extension Act of 2015. The TRIPRA extends the federal Terrorism Insurance Program that requires Additionally, SL Green's captive insurance companies to offer terrorism coverage and provides for compensation for insured losses resulting from acts of certified terrorism, subject to the current program trigger of $120.0 million, which will increase by $20.0 million per annum, commencing December 31,

2015 (Trigger). Coinsurance under TRIPRA is 16%, increasing 1% per annum, as of December 31, 2015 (Coinsurance). There are no assurances TRIPRA will be further extended.
In October 2006, SL Green formed a wholly-owned taxable REIT subsidiary,company, Belmont Insurance Company, or Belmont, provides coverage for NBCR terrorist acts above a specified trigger, although if Belmont is required to act aspay a claim under SL Green's insurance policies, SL Green would ultimately record the loss to the extent of Belmont's required payment. As of March 31, 2018, SL Green's second captive insurance company, and as one ofTiconderoga Insurance Company, or Ticonderoga, reinsures the elements of our overall insurance program. Belmont is a subsidiary of SL Green. BelmontNBCR risk that was formed in an effort to, among other reasons, mitigate fluctuations in the insurance marketplace. Belmont is licensed in New York to write Terrorism, NBCR (nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological), General Liability, Environmental Liability and D&O coverage.
Our debt instruments, consisting of mortgage loans securedretained by our properties (which are generally non-recourse to us), mezzanine loans, ground leases, our 2012 credit facility, senior unsecured notes and other corporate obligations, contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we currently maintain sufficient insurance coverage to satisfy these obligations,Belmont. However, there is no assurance that in the future we will be able to procure coverage at a reasonable cost. InFurther, if we experience losses that are uninsured or that exceed policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. Additionally, our debt instruments contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance and we could default under debt our instruments if the cost and/or availability of certain types of insurance make it impractical or impossible to comply with such instances, there can be no assurance that the lenderscovenants relating to insurance. Belmont provides coverage solely on properties owned by SL Green 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. In addition, if lenders require greater coverage that we are unable to obtain at commercially reasonable rates, we may incur substantially higher insurance premiums or our ability to finance our properties and expand our portfolio may be adversely impacted.its affiliates.
Furthermore, with respect to certain of our properties, including properties held by joint ventures, or subject to triple net leases, insurance coverage is obtained by a third-party and we do not control the coverage. While we may have agreements with such third parties to maintain adequate coverage and we monitor these policies, such coverage ultimately may not be maintained or adequately cover our risk of loss. We may have less protection than with respect to the properties where we obtain coverage directly. Although we consider our insurance coverage to be appropriate, in the event of a major catastrophe, we may not have sufficient coverage to replace certain properties.
We obtained insurance coverage through an insurance program administered by SL Green. In connection with this program, we incurred insurance expense of approximately $1.3$1.1 million and $4.1$1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. We incurred insurance expense of approximately $1.5 millionMarch 31, 2018 and $4.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.2017, respectively.
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.
