At September 30, 2013, KRC’s stabilized portfolio, which excludes properties held for sale, encompassing approximately 12.5 million square feet of office space located in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area and greater Seattle, was 92.2% occupied, up from 90.7% at the end of the second quarter.

Also in the third quarter, as part of the company’s ongoing capital recycling program, KRC negotiated sales agreements for 14 non-strategic properties totaling 1.2 million square feet in three separate transactions. Thirteen of the 14 properties are located in submarkets of San Diego County and one property is located in Orange County.

| (1) | The company calculates FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. |
Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of the company’s operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of the company’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of the company’s operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, the company's FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, management believes that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of the company’s performance relative to its competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide.
However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the company’s operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the company’s properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact the company’s results from operations.

| (2) | FFO includes amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements of $2.6 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $7.6 million and $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |

| (3) | Reported amounts are attributable to common stockholders and common unitholders. |
