City Office REIT, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Description of Business
City Office REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of MarylandMarylan
d on
November 26, 2013.2013
. On
April 21, 2014
, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to City Office REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“common units”).
The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s percentage ownership of common units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the Operating Partnership’s
partnership agreement
to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.
The Company has elected to be taxed and will continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct dividend distributions paid to its stockholders, eliminating the U.S. federal taxation of income represented by such distributions at the Company level. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and, for years prior to 2018, any applicable alternative minimum tax.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company applied the below accounting policy for Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) in relation to the deconsolidation of the 190 Office Center property. Refer to Note 3 – Real Estate Investments for additional information.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company consolidates a VIE if the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of the entity. When evaluating the accounting for a VIE, the Company considers the purpose for which the VIE was created, the importance of each of the activities in which it is engaged and our decision-making role, if any, in those activities that significantly determine the entity’s economic performance relative to other economic interest holders. The Company determines the rights, if any, to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE by considering the economic interest in the entity, regardless of form, which may include debt, equity, management and servicing fees, or other contractual arrangements. The Company considers other relevant factors including each entity’s capital structure, contractual rights to earnings (losses), subordination of the Company’s interests relative to those of other investors, contingent payments, and other contractual arrangements that may be economically significant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) established Topic 848, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2020-04
(“ASU
2020-04”).
ASU
2020-04
provides companies with optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. For contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met, companies can elect to not remeasure contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting conclusion. Companies can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. Further, in January 2021, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2021-01,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU
2021-01”).
ASU
2021-01
clarified the scope of Topic 848 so that derivatives affected by the discounting transition are explicitly eligible for certain optional expedients and exceptions in Topic 848.
ASU
2020-04
and ASU
2021-01
can be applied as of the beginning of the interim period that includes March 12, 2020, however, the guidance will only be available for optional use through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2022-06,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU
2022-06”).
ASU
2022-06
amends the date the guidance will be available to December 31, 2024. The new standard applies prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company transitioned its LIBOR-based contracts to SOFR and elected to apply the practical expedients to modifications of qualifying debt contracts and hedging relationships as continuations of the existing contracts, rather than as new contracts. Application of the hedge accounting expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation and does not result in dedesignation of hedging relationships. Applying the expedients did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2023, theThe Company has no remaining LIBOR-based contracts.

3. Real Estate Investments
Sale
Disposition of Real Estate Property
190 Office Center
On May 15, 2023, the Company consented to the appointment of a receiver to assume possession and control of the 190 Office Center property as a result of an event of default as defined in the property’s
non-recourse
loan agreement. Given the appointment of the receiver, the Company assessed whether the entity holding the property should be reassessed for consolidation as a VIE in accordance with ASC 810 – Consolidation.
Based on its analysis, the Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIE and therefore deconsolidated the property as of May 15, 2023. The Company deconsolidated the net carrying value of real estate assets of $
35.7
 million, the mortgage loan of $
38.6 
million, cash and restricted cash of $
4.0
million and net current liabilities of
 $
1.0
million. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a loss on deconsolidation of $
0.1
 million, which has been included within net loss/gain on disposition of real estate property on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations and statement of cash flows.
Lake Vista Pointe
During
the first quarter of 2022, the sole tenant at the Lake Vista Pointe property exercised its lease option to purchase the building and the Company signed a purchase and sale agreement with the tenant. At the time the tenant exercised the option, the Company reassessed the classification of the lease, in accordance with ASC 842 – Leases, and determined that the lease should be reclassified from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. This reclassification resulted in a gain on sale of $
21.7
 
million net of disposal-related costs. On June 15, 2022, the Company sold the Lake Vista Pointe property in Dallas, Texas for a gross sales price of $
43.8
 million.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 Inputs – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Inputs – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3 Inputs – unobservable inputs
In January 2023, the Company amended the $
50
$50 million interest rate swap to transition from LIBOR to daily-simple SOFR. The Company applied the practical expedients available for hedging relationships under the reference rate reform guidance, which preserves the presentation of the derivative consistent with past presentation and does not result in dedesignation of the
hedging
relationship. Pursuant to the amended interest rate swap, the Company will pay a fixed rate of approximately
1.17
% 1.17% of the notional amount annually, payable monthly, and receive floating rate daily-simple SOFR payments.
In January 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $25 million. Pursuant to the interest rate swap, the Company will pay a fixed rate of approximately 3.90% of the notional amount annually, payable monthly, and receive floating rate daily-simple SOFR payments.
In February 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $140 million. Pursuant to the interest rate swap, the Company will pay a fixed rate of approximately 4.19% of the notional amount annually, payable quarterly, and receive floating rate daily-simple SOFR payments.
The fair value of the interest rate swaps have been classified as Level 2 fair value measurements.
The interest rate swaps have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and have been recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, presented within other assets and other liabilities. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its fixed rate mortgage loan payable based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments was $425.6$380.3 million and $420.7 million (compared to a carrying value of $441.4$401.0 million and $443.3 million) as of March 31,June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively. Accordingly, the fair value of mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

Lessor Accounting
The Company is focused on acquiring, owning and operating high-quality office properties for lease to a stable and diverse tenant base. Our properties have both full-service gross and net leases which are generally classified as operating leases.

Lessee Accounting
As a lessee, the Company has ground and office leases which are classified as operating and financing leases. As of March 31,June 30, 2023, these leases had remaining terms of under one year to
three

Lease liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. One of the Company’s operating ground leases includes rental payment increases over the lease term based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Changes in the CPI were not estimated as part of the measurement of the operating lease liability. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of 6.2% in determining its lease liabilities. The discount rates were derived from the Company’s assessment of the credit quality of the Company and adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments.
Right-of-use
assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.
The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such
non-compliance,
liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.
The Company is involved from time to time in lawsuits and other disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31,June 30, 2023, management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Share Repurchase Plan
On March 9, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $
100
$100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. In July 2020, the Company completed the full March 2020 share repurchase plan. On August 5, 2020, the Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to an additional aggregate amount of $
50
$50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. In September 2022, the Company completed the full August 2020 share repurchase plan. On May 4, 2023, the Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase plan (“Repurchase Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock. Under the share repurchase programs, the shares may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements.
Repurchased shares of common stock will be classified as authorized and unissued shares. The Company recognizes the cost of shares of common stock it repurchases, including direct costs incurred, as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. Such reductions of stockholders equity due to the repurchases of shares of common stock will be applied first, to reduce common stock in the amount of the par value associated with the shares of common stock repurchased and second, to reduce additional
paid-in
capital by the amount that the purchase price for the shares of common stock repurchased exceed the par value.
12

There were no shares repurchased during the threesix months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.June 30, 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company completed the repurchase of 394,833 shares of its common stock for approximately $5.0 million.

Preferred Stock Distributions
On March 14,May 5, 2023,
the Board of Directors approved and the Company declared a cash dividend distribution of $
0.4140625$0.4140625 per share of the Company’s 6.625% Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate amount of $1.9 million for the quarterly period ended March 31,June 30, 2023. The dividend was paid subsequent to quarter end on April 25,July 21, 2023 to the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock as of the close of business on April 11,July 7, 2023.
Equity Incentive Plan
The Company has an equity incentive plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”) for executive officers, directors and certain
non-executive
employees, and with approval of the Board of Directors
, for subsidiaries and their respective affiliates. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted common stock, restricted stock units, phantom shares, stock options, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards (including the grant of Operating Partnership long-term incentive plan units), subject to the total number of shares available for issuance under the plan.
The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”).
The Equity Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of up to
3,763,580
shares of common stock. To the extent an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards.
On January 27, 2020, each of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved a new form of performance-based restricted unit award agreement that will be used to grant performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“Performance RSU Awards”)
pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan.
The Performance RSU Awards are based upon the total stockholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock over a
three-year
measurement period beginning January 1 of the year of grant (the “Measurement Period”) relative to the TSR of a defined peer group list of other US Office REIT companies (the “Peer Group”) as of the first trading date in the year of grant.
The payouts under the Performance RSU Awards are evaluated on a sliding scale as follows: TSR below the 30th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 50% payout; TSR at the 50th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 100% payout; and TSR at or above the 75th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 150% payout. Payouts are mathematically interpolated between these stated percentile targets, subject to a 150% maximum.
To the extent earned, the payouts of the Performance RSU Awards are intended to be settled in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. Upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions, dividend equivalents in an amount equal to all regular and special dividends declared with respect to the Company’s common stock during each annual measurement period during the Measurement Period are determined and paid on a cumulative, reinvested basis over the term of the applicable Performance RSU Award, at the time such award vests and based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are earned.
During the first quarter of 2023, the Performance RSU Awards granted in January 2020, with a January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022 Measurement Period, were earned at 150% of the target number of shares granted based on achievement of a TSR that was at or above the 75th percentile of the 2020 Peer Group.

Overview
Company
We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, we completed our IPO of shares of common stock. We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership. Both we and our Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions.
Revenue Base
As of March 31,June 30, 2023, we owned 2524 properties comprised of 6058 office buildings with a total of approximately 6.05.7 million square feet of net rentable area (“NRA”). As of March 31,June 30, 2023, our properties were approximately 84.9%85.6% leased.
 
1617

Office Leases
Historically, most leases for our properties have been on a full-service gross or net lease basis, and we expect to continue to use such leases in the future. A full-service gross lease generally has a base year expense “stop,” whereby we pay a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating expenses are billed to the tenant based on such tenant’s proportionate square footage in the property. The property operating expenses are reflected in operating expenses; however, only the increased property operating expenses above the base year stop recovered from tenants are reflected as tenant recoveries within rental and other revenues on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In a triple net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all property taxes and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not include any operating expenses, but rather all such expenses are billed to or paid by the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type is reflected in operating expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected as tenant recoveries. We are also a lessor for a fee simple ground lease at the AmberGlen property.
Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition
Economic Environment and Inflation
Economic conditions in the U.S. and globally continue to be volatile, primarily due to rising inflation. As inflation continued to reach new highs, it set off a chain reaction of events, beginning with the U.S. Federal Reserve taking and signaling severe tightening measures, interest rates rising across the yield curve, volatility and losses in the public equity and debt markets, and now increasing concerns that the U.S. economy may experience a recession. The banking and lending sector in particular has been impacted by the interest rate environment. This evolving operating environment impacts our operating activities as:
 
business leaders may generally become more reticent to make large capital allocation decisions, such as entry into a new lease, given the uncertain economic environment;
 
our cost of capital has increased due to higher interest rates and credit spreads, and private market debt financing is significantly more challenging to arrange; and
 
retaining and attracting new tenants has become increasingly challenging due to potential business layoffs, downsizing and industry slowdowns.
Despite the challenging economic environment, there is increasing evidence that many businesses have or will tighten up
in-person
work policies as economic conditions worsen. Many of these companies increased their workforce during the pandemic without increasing their available space. We expect these factors to help offset, at least partially, the recessionary headwinds to space demand.
COVID-19
Our business has been and will likely continue to be impacted by the
COVID-19
pandemic. In addition, our business has been and will likely continue to be impacted by tenant uncertainty regarding office space needs given the evolving remote and hybrid working trends as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic. While the usage of our assets in the firstsecond quarter of 2023 was still lower than
pre-pandemic
levels, usage has been increasing year over year. Usage of our assets in the near future depends on corporate and individual decisions regarding return to usage of office space, which is impossible to estimate.
Leasing activity has been and is expected to be impacted by the
COVID-19
pandemic until and unless tenants increase utilization of their spaces. We have experienced and we expect that we will continue to experience slower new leasing, and there remains uncertainty over existing tenants’ long-term space requirements. Overall, this could reduce our anticipated rental revenues. In addition, certain tenants in our markets have and may explore opportunities to sublease all or a portion of their leased square footage to other tenants or third parties. While subleasing generally does not impact the ability to collect payment from the original lessee and will not result in any decrease in the rental revenues expected to be received from the primary tenant, this trend could reduce our ability to lease incremental square footage to new tenants, could increase the square footage of our properties that “goes dark,” could reduce anticipated rental revenue should tenants determine their long-term needs for square footage are lower than originally anticipated and could impact the pricing and competitiveness for leasing office space in our markets.
 
1718

We will continue to actively evaluate business operations and strategies to optimally position ourselves given current economic and industry conditions.
Business and Strategy
We focus on owning and acquiring office properties in our footprint of growth markets predominantly in the Sun Belt. Our markets generally possess growing populations with above-average employment growth forecasts, a large number of government offices, large international, national and regional employers across diversified industries, generally
low-cost
centers for business operations and a high quality of life. We believe these characteristics have made our markets desirable, as evidenced by domestic net migration generally towards our geographic footprint. We utilize our management’s market-specific knowledge and relationships as well as the expertise of local real estate property and leasing managers to identify acquisition opportunities that we believe will offer cash flow stability and long-term value appreciation.
Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries
The amount of net rental revenue generated by our properties will depend principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that becomes available from lease terminations. The amount of rental revenue generated also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our markets or submarkets or downturns in our tenants’ industries, including as a result of rising interest rates and the increasing likelihood of a U.S. recession, that impair our ability to renew or
re-let
space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. In addition, growth in rental revenue will also partially depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria.

Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses generally consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, insurance and site maintenance costs. Increases in these expenses over tenants’ base years (until the base year is reset at expiration) are generally passed along to tenants in our full-service gross leased properties and are generally paid in full by tenants in our net leased properties.
Conditions in Our Markets
Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions in the markets we operate in, including state budgetary shortfalls, employment rates, natural hazards and other factors, may impact our overall performance. While we generally expect the trend of positive population and economic growth in our Sun Belt cities to continue, there is no way for us to predict whether these trends will continue, especially in light of inflation and rising interest rates as well as the potential changes in tax policy, fiscal policy and monetary policy. In addition, it is uncertain and impossible to estimate the potential impact that the
COVID-19
pandemic will have on the short- and long-term demand for office space in our markets.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same policies and procedures as outlined in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for our election to apply the practical expedients related to Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) and the application of our VIE policy as outlined in Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2023 to Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2022
Rental and Other Revenues.
Revenue includesRental and other revenues include net rental income, including parking, signage and other income, as well as the recovery of operating costs and property taxes from tenants. Rental and other revenues increased $1.1decreased $0.9 million, or 2%, to $46.0$44.6 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023 compared to $44.9$45.5 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022. Of this increase, the December 2021 acquisitions of Block 23, The Terraces and Bloc 83, which were undergoing first generation
lease-up
in 2022, contributed $0.6 million, $0.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. In addition, revenues from Park Tower, Circle Point and FRP Collection increased $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, due to higher occupancy over the prior year. A further increase of $0.2 million can be attributed to our 190 Office Center property which recorded higher termination fee income in 2023 compared to 2022. Offsetting these increases, the disposition of Lake Vista Pointe in June 2022 decreased revenue by $1.1 million. In addition, revenueRevenue decreased at SanTan by $1.4 million due to a termination fee recognized in the prior year and lower resulting occupancy in the current period associated with an early tenant departure. LowerIn addition, the dispositions of 190 Office Center in May 2023 and Lake Vista Pointe in June 2022 reduced revenue by $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Revenue also decreased at 5090, Mission City and Pima Center by $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively, due to lower occupancy at Pima Center also decreasedthe properties compared to the prior year. Offsetting these decreases, the December 2021 acquisition of Bloc 83, Block 23 and The Terraces, which were undergoing first generation
lease-up
in 2022, increased revenue by $1.2 million, $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. In addition, higher occupancy at Park Tower, Circle Point, City Center and FRP Collection increased revenue by $0.6 million, $0.5 million.million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The remaining properties’ rental and other revenues were relatively unchanged in comparison to the prior period.
Operating Expenses
Total Operating Expenses.
Total operating expenses consist of property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Total operating expenses increased by $1.0$0.5 million, or 3%1%, to $36.8$36.7 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, from $35.8$36.2 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022. Of thisthe increase, the December 2021 acquisitionsacquisition of Bloc 83 and Block 23, The Terraces and Bloc 83, which were undergoing first generation

In addition, total operating expenses fromat Park Tower FRP Collection and Circle PointCity Center increased $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, due to higher operating costs associated with higher occupancy over the prior year. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 million over the prior period due primarily to higher payroll and stock-based compensation expense. Offsetting these increases, total operating expenses decreased at SanTan by $0.6 million due to lower occupancy at the property in comparison to the prior year. In addition, the dispositiondispositions of 190 Office Center in May 2023 and Lake Vista Pointe in June 2022 decreased total operating expenses by $0.5 million and lower depreciation and amortization at Mission City decreased$0.3 million, respectively. The remaining properties’ total operating expenses by $0.3 million. The remaining properties’ expenses increased a combined $0.2 million.were relatively unchanged in comparison to the prior period.
 
2021

Property Operating Expenses.
Property operating expenses are comprised mainly of building common area and maintenance expenses, insurance, property taxes, property management fees, as well as certain expenses that are not recoverable from tenants, the majority of which are related to costs necessary to maintain the appearance and marketability of vacant space. In the normal course of business, property expenses fluctuate and are impacted by various factors including, but not limited to, occupancy levels, weather, utility costs, repairs, maintenance and
re-leasing
costs. Property operating expenses increased by $1.2$0.4 million, or 7%2%, to $17.7$17.2 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, from $16.5$16.8 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2022. Of thisthe increase, the December 2021 acquisitionsacquisition of Bloc 83, Block 23 and The Terraces, and Bloc 83, which were undergoing first generation
lease-up
in 2022, contributed $0.3 million, $0.1$0.3 million and $0.2$0.1 million, respectively. In addition, property operating expenses from FRP Collection andat Park Tower increased $0.3 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, due to higher operating costs associated with higher occupancy over the prior year. Offsetting these increases, the dispositiondispositions of 190 Office Center in May 2023 and Lake Vista Pointe resulted in aJune 2022 decreased property operating expenses by $0.3 million decrease.and $0.3 million, respectively. The remaining properties’ property operating expenses increased a combined $0.3 million.were relatively unchanged in comparison to the prior period.
General and Administrative.
General and administrative expenses are comprised of public company reporting costs and the compensation of our management team and Board of Directors, as well as
non-cash
stock-based compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.3$0.1 million, or 9%1%, to $3.8$3.7 million for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, from $3.5$3.6 million reported in the prior period. General and administrative expenses increased primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization.
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million, or 0.4%, to $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $15.7 million reported for the same period in 2022. Of the increase, Bloc 83 incurred higher depreciation and amortization expense of $0.5 million related to tenanting costs. Offsetting this increase, depreciation and amortization expense at our SanTan property decreased by $0.5 million mainly due to accelerated amortization of tenant-related assets recorded in the prior year associated with an early lease termination at the property. The remaining properties’ depreciation expenses were relatively unchanged in comparison to the prior year.
Other Expense (Income)
Interest Expense.
Interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 32%, to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to higher amounts drawn and higher interest rates on our floating rate debt.
Net Loss on the Disposition of Real Estate Property.
 During the second quarter of 2023, the Company
consented
to the appointment of a receiver to assume possession and control of the 190 Office Center property as a result of an event of default as defined in the property’s loan agreement. Given the appointment of the receiver, the Company deconsolidated the entity holding the property and related assets and liabilities in May 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a loss on deconsolidation of $0.1 million.
Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2022
Rental and Other Revenues.
Rental and other revenues include net rental income, including parking, signage and other income, as well as the recovery of operating costs and property taxes from tenants. Rental and other revenues increased $0.3 million, or 0.2%, to $90.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $90.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Of the increase, the December 2021 acquisition of Bloc 83, Block 23 and The Terraces, which were undergoing first generation
lease-up
in 2022, increased revenue by $2.5 million, $1.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Higher occupancy at Park Tower, Circle Point, FRP Collection and City Center also increased revenue by $1.5 million, $0.9 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Offsetting these increases, revenue decreased at SanTan by $2.9 million due to a termination fee recognized in the prior year and lower resulting occupancy in the current period associated with an early tenant departure. In addition, the dispositions of Lake Vista Pointe in June 2022 and 190 Office Center in May 2023 also decreased revenue by $1.9 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Revenue also decreased at Pima Center, Mission City and 5090 by $0.8 million, $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, due to reduced occupancy at the property. The remaining properties’ rental and other revenues were marginally higher in comparison to the prior period.

Operating Expenses
Total Operating Expenses.
Total operating expenses consist of property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Total operating expenses increased $1.6 million, or 2%, to $73.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, from $71.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Offsetting these increases, total operating expenses decreased at SanTan by $1.2 million due to lower occupancy at the property in comparison to the prior year. The dispositions of Lake Vista Pointe in June 2022 and 190 Office Center in May 2023 also decreased total operating expenses by $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. In addition, depreciation and amortization for Mission City and Papago Tech decreased by $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, from the prior period as the amortization expense associated with acquired lease intangible assets has now been fully amortized.

Other Expense (Income)
Interest Expense.
Interest expense increased $2.2$4.3 million, or 37%34%, to $8.3$16.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, from $6.1$12.3 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2022.

Net Loss/Gain on the Disposition of Real Estate Property.
 During the second quarter of 2023, the Company consented to the appointment of a receiver to assume possession and control of the 190 Office Center property as a result of an event of default as defined in the property’s loan agreement. Given the appointment of the receiver, the Company deconsolidated the entity holding the property and related assets and liabilities during the quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized a loss on deconsolidation of $0.1 million. In the prior year, the sole tenant at the Lake Vista Pointe property exercised its lease option to purchase the building and we signed a purchase and sale agreement with the tenant. At the time the tenant exercised the option, we reassessed the lease classification of the lease, in accordance with ASC 842 – Leases, and determined that the lease should be reclassified from an operating lease to a sales-type lease. This reclassification resulted in a gain on sale of $21.7 million net of disposal related costs. The Lake Vista Pointe property was sold in June 2022.
Cash Flows
Comparison of ThreeSix Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2023 to ThreeSix Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2022
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $52.2$52.7 million and $47.6$69.4 million as of March 31,June 30, 2023, and March 31,June 30, 2022, respectively.
Cash flow from operating activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $0.8$47.4 million to $13.9$27.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, compared to $14.7$75.0 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to changes in working capital.receipts from the sales-type lease related to Lake Vista Pointe for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Cash flow to investing activities.
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $5.5$2.6 million to $12.4$23.8 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, compared to $6.9$21.2 million for the same period in 2022. The increase in cash used in investing activities was primarily dueattributable to an increase in additions tothe reduction of cash on disposition of real estate propertiesproperty related to 190 Office Center for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023.
21

Cash flow from financing activities.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $8.9$31.2 million to $6.5$4.6 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023, compared to $2.4$26.6 million used in financing activities for the same period in 2022. The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily dueattributable to higher net proceeds from borrowings partially offset by higher withholding taxes on restricted stock units vesting for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023. Further, the repurchases of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased cash used in financing activities in the prior period.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had approximately $35.9$38.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $16.4$14.3 million of restricted cash as of March 31,June 30, 2023.
On March 15, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement for the Unsecured Credit Facility that provided for commitments of up to $250 million, which included an accordion feature that allowed the Company to borrow up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a five-year $50 million term loan, increasing its authorized borrowings under the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility from $250 million to $300 million. On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreementthat increased the total authorized borrowings from $300 million to $350 million. On January 5, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the Unsecured Credit Facility and entered into a three-year $25 million term loan, increasing its total authorized borrowings from $350 million to $375 million. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures in November 2025 and may be extended 12 months at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions. As of March 31,June 30, 2023, we had approximately $195.7$205.7 million outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility and a $4.2 million letter of credit to satisfy escrow requirements for a mortgage lender.
24

On February 26, 2020, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into equity distribution agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with each of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, B. Riley FBR, Inc., D.A. Davidson & Co. and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC (the “Sales Agents”) pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time to time up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the Sales Agents, acting as agents or principals (the “ATM Program”). On May 7, 2021 the Company delivered to D.A. Davidson & Co. a notice of termination of the Agreement, effective May 7, 2021. The Company did not issue any shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2023.
After considering the effect of the
COVID-19
pandemic on our consolidated operations, it is possible that we could fail certain financial covenants within certain property-level mortgage borrowings. For mortgages with financial covenants, the lenders’ remedy of a covenant failure would be a requirement to escrow funds for the purpose of meeting our future debt payment obligations.
As of March 31,June 30, 2023, the lenders for three of our mortgage borrowings have elected their right to direct property cash flows into lender-controlled restricted cash accounts to fund property operations until certain thresholds are met. For these three properties, the total restricted cash as of March 31,June 30, 2023 was $6.9$9.2 million.
Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and reserves established from existing cash. We have further sources such as proceeds from our public offerings, including under our ATM Program, and borrowings under our mortgage loans and our Unsecured Credit Facility.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and
non-recurring
capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and
non-recurring
capital improvements using our Unsecured Credit Facility pending longer term financing.
22

We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity securities. However, we cannot assure you that this is or will continue to be the case. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, interest rates, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to access the equity capital markets is dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.

Contracted interest on the floating rate borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility was calculated based on the balance and interest rate at March 31,June 30, 2023. Contracted interest on our term loans and part of the Unsecured Credit Facility were calculated based on the interest rate swap rates fixing the SOFR component of the borrowing rates.
25

Inflation
Substantially all of our office leases provide for real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by these contractual rent increases and expense escalations. However, a longer period of inflation could affect our cash flows or earnings, or impact our borrowings, as discussed elsewhere in this Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge interest rate risks related to borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. We have entered, and we will only enter into, contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our derivatives.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced that it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR by June 30, 2023. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to LIBOR, and in some cases, the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR published by CME Group Benchmark Administration Ltd. ARRC proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry-wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to LIBOR. There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured lending rate while SOFR is a secured lending rate, and SOFR being an overnight rate while LIBOR reflects term rates at different maturities.
We expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. The differences between LIBOR and SOFR,the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus the recommended spread adjustment, could result in interest costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available, which could have a material adverse effect on our results. Although SOFR is the ARRC’s recommended replacement rate by the Alternative Reference Rates Committee, it is also possible that lenders may instead choose alternative replacement rates that may differ from LIBOR in ways similar to SOFR or in other ways that would result in higher borrowing costs for us. AsDuring the first quarter of March 31, 2023, our LIBOR-based borrowings and the $50 million interest rate swap have beenwere transitioned to SOFR.
23

We currently consider our interest rate exposure to be moderate because as of March 31,June 30, 2023, approximately $656.4$616.0 million, or 92.2%90.4%, of our debt had fixed interest rates, or effectively fixed rates when factoring in interest rate swaps, and $55.7$65.7 million, or 7.8%9.6%, had variable interest rates. The $656.4$616.0 million fixed rate debt includes a $50 million term loan, a $25 million term loan, and $140 million of the Unsecured Credit Facility against which we have applied interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the SOFR component of the borrowing rates until maturity of the debt. A 1% increase in SOFR would result in a $0.6$0.7 million increase to our annual interest costs on debt outstanding as of March 31,June 30, 2023 and would decrease the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as increase interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. A 1% decrease in SOFR would result in a $0.6$0.7 million decrease to our annual interest costs on debt outstanding as of March 31,June 30, 2023 and would increase the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as decrease interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.
Interest rate risk amounts are our management’s estimates based on our Company’s capital structure and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. We may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our Company’s financial structure.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures

None.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On May 4, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan (“Repurchase Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock. Under the Repurchase Program, the shares may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule
10b5-1None.
of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, all in accordance with the rules of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements.
Repurchased shares of common stock will be classified as authorized and unissued shares. The Company recognizes the cost of shares of common stock it repurchases, including direct costs incurred, as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. Such reductions of stockholders equity due to the repurchases of shares of common stock repurchased will be applied first, to reduce common stock in the amount of the par value associated with the shares of common stock repurchased and second, to reduce additional
paid-in capital
by the amount that the purchase price for the shares of common stock repurchased exceed the par value.
