EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. and DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. References to the “REIT” or “DFT” mean DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” mean DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The term “the Company” refers to DFT and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

DFT is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common operating partnership units, or “OP units.” As of June 30, 2013, DFT owned 80.3% of the common economic interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining interest being owned by investors. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, DFT has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of DFT and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:


•	enhances investors’ understanding of DFT and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;


•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure in this report applies to both DFT and the Operating Partnership; and


•	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

Management operates DFT and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of DFT consists of the same employees as the management of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes it is important for investors to understand the few differences between DFT and the Operating Partnership in the context of how DFT and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. DFT is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of OP units of the Operating Partnership. As a result, DFT does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. DFT has not issued any indebtedness, but has guaranteed all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all the real estate assets of the Company. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by DFT, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP units or preferred units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include the Operating Partnership’s operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.

As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, DFT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. The presentation of stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of DFT and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes preferred units and general and limited common units that are owned by DFT and the other partners. DFT’s stockholders’ equity includes preferred stock, common stock, additional paid in capital and retained earnings. The common limited partnership interests held by the limited partners (other than DFT) in the Operating Partnership are presented as “redeemable partnership units” in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and as “redeemable noncontrolling interests-operating partnership” in DFT’s consolidated financial statements. The only difference between the assets and liabilities of DFT and the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2013 is a $4.3 million bank account held by DFT that is not part of the Operating Partnership. Net income is the same for DFT and the Operating Partnership.

In order to highlight the few differences between DFT and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that discuss DFT and the Operating Partnership separately, including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for DFT and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts, holds assets and issues debt, we believe that reference to the Company in this context is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

•	land that may be used to develop additional data centers – referred to as ACC8 and SC2.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 of DFT and the Operating Partnership. DFT is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common operating partnership units, or “OP units.” As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, DFT has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of DFT and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:


•	enhances investors’ understanding of DFT and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;


•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure in this report applies to both DFT and the Operating Partnership; and


•	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

Management operates DFT and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of DFT consists of the same employees as the management of the Operating Partnership.

partnership units” in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and as “redeemable noncontrolling interests-operating partnership” in DFT’s consolidated financial statements. The only difference between the assets and liabilities of DFT and the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2013 is a $4.3 million bank account held by DFT that is not part of the Operating Partnership. Net income is the same for DFT and the Operating Partnership.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2012 contained in the Company’s Form 10-K, which contains a complete listing of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

The Company has one reportable segment consisting of investments in data centers located in the United States. All of the Company's properties generate similar types of revenues and expenses related to tenant rent and reimbursements and operating expenses. The delivery of the Company's products is consistent across all properties and although services are provided to a range of customers, the types of services provided to them are limited to a few core principles. As such, the properties in the Company's portfolio have similar economic characteristics and the nature of the products and services provided to the Company's customers and the method to distribute such services are consistent throughout the portfolio.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Property

Depreciation on buildings is generally provided on a straight-line basis over 40 years from the date the buildings were placed in service. Building components are depreciated over the life of the respective improvement ranging from 10 to 40 years from the date the components were placed in service. Personal property is depreciated over three years to seven years. Depreciation expense was $22.2 million and $21.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $44.2 million and $42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Included in these amounts is amortization expense related to tenant origination costs, which was $0.8 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.6 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

The Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations or in development when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts. If circumstances indicating impairment of a long-lived asset are present, the Company would determine the fair value of that asset, and an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value. Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its assets on a property-by-property basis. No impairment losses were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

Deferred Costs

Deferred costs, net on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets include both financing and leasing costs.

Financing costs, which represent fees and other costs incurred in obtaining debt, are amortized using the effective-interest rate method or a method that approximates the effective-interest method, over the term of the loan and are included in amortization of deferred financing costs. In March 2013, the Company paid off the $138.3 million balance of the ACC5 Term Loan that resulted in a write-off of $1.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

Table of Contents



	June 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Financing costs	$	21,585		$	23,082
Accumulated amortization	(9,426		)	(10,531		)
Financing costs, net	$	12,159		$	12,551

Leasing costs, which are either external fees and costs incurred in the successful negotiations of leases, internal costs expended in the successful negotiations of leases or the estimated leasing commissions resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of ACC2, VA3, VA4 and ACC4, are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the carrying amount of the costs are written off to amortization expense. The Company incurred leasing costs of $0.1 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization of deferred leasing costs totaled $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.9 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Leasing costs	$	46,886		$	46,719
Accumulated amortization	(25,417		)	(23,600		)
Leasing costs, net	$	21,469		$	23,119

Inventory

The Company maintains fuel inventory for its generators, which is recorded at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fuel inventory was $3.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Rental Income

The Company, as a lessor, has retained substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases. For lease agreements that provide for scheduled fixed and determinable rent increases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the leases, which commences when control of the space and critical power have been provided to the tenant. If the lease contains an early termination clause with a penalty payment, the Company determines the lease termination date by evaluating whether the penalty reasonably assures that the lease will not be terminated early. Lease inducements, which include free rent or cash payments to tenants, are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the non-cancellable lease term. Straight-line rents receivable are included in deferred rent on the consolidated balance sheets. Lease intangible assets and liabilities that have resulted from above-market and below-market leases that were acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis as decreases and increases, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancellable term of the underlying leases. If a lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the unamortized portion of lease intangibles associated with that lease will be written off to rental revenue. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):



	June 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Lease contracts above market value	$	23,100		$	23,100
Accumulated amortization	(13,396		)	(12,845		)
Lease contracts above market value, net	$	9,704		$	10,255

Lease contracts below market value	$	39,375		$	39,375
Accumulated amortization	(27,099		)	(25,353		)
Lease contracts below market value, net	$	12,276		$	14,022

The Company’s policy is to record a reserve for losses on accounts receivable equal to the estimated uncollectible

accounts. The estimate is based on management’s historical experience and a review of the current status of the Company’s

Table of Contents

receivables. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had a reserve against rents and other receivables of $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The Company also establishes an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. These receivables arise from revenue recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease and are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had a reserve against deferred rent of $2.1 million.

The reserves described above were set up for one tenant that restructured its lease obligations with the Company. Under this restructuring, this tenant's outstanding accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable related to the returned space was converted into a note receivable, the terms of which require the payment of principal and interest over the next four years. Principal payments on the note begin on September 30, 2013 and are calculated on a ten-year amortization schedule with a final principal payment of the remaining note balance due on December 31, 2016. Additionally, under this restructuring this tenant has the right to defer up to two-thirds of base rent due over the next 18 months at NJ1 in Piscataway, New Jersey. Any base rent deferred is added to the note. The note balance as of June 30, 2013 was $4.9 million.

Tenant leases generally contain provisions under which the tenants reimburse the Company for a portion of operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by the property. Recoveries from tenants are included in revenue in the consolidated statements of operations in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Recoveries from tenants also include the property management fees that the Company earns from its tenants.

Other Revenue

Other revenue primarily consists of services provided to tenants on a non-recurring basis. This includes projects such as the purchase and installation of circuits, racks, breakers and other tenant requested items. Revenue is recognized on a completed contract basis. Costs of providing these services are included in other expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Operating Partnership / Redeemable Partnership Units

Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, as presented on DFT’s consolidated balance sheets, represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP units”) held by individuals and entities other than DFT. These interests are also presented on the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets, referred to as “redeemable partnership units.” Accordingly, the following discussion related to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership of the REIT refers equally to redeemable partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, which require cash payment, or allow settlement in shares, but with the ability to deliver the shares outside of the control of DFT, are reported outside of the permanent equity section of the consolidated balance sheets of DFT and Operating Partnership. Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are adjusted for income, losses and distributions allocated to OP units not held by DFT (normal noncontrolling interest accounting amount). Adjustments to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are recorded to reflect increases or decreases in the ownership of the Operating Partnership by holders of OP units, including the redemptions of OP units for cash or in exchange for shares of DFT’s common stock. If such adjustments result in redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership being recorded at less than the redemption value of the OP units, redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are further adjusted to their redemption value (see Note 6). Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are recorded at the greater of the normal noncontrolling interest accounting amount or redemption value. The following is a summary of activity for redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands):

Earnings Per Share of the REIT

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period using the two class method. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Earnings Per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common units for the period by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period using the two class method. Diluted earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common units for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive securities outstanding during the period.

Stock-based Compensation

DFT awards stock-based compensation to employees and members of its Board of Directors in the form of common stock. For each stock award granted by DFT, the OP issues an equivalent common unit, which may be referred to herein as a common share, common stock, or common unit. The Company estimates the fair value of the awards and recognizes this value over the requisite vesting period. The fair value of restricted stock-based compensation is based on the market value of DFT’s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of options to purchase common stock is based on the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of performance units is based on a Monte Carlo simulation.

Outstanding Indebtedness

ACC3 Term Loan

On March 27, 2013, the Company entered into a $115 million term loan facility (the “ACC3 Term Loan”). The ACC3 Term Loan matures on March 27, 2018 and the borrower, a subsidiary of the Company, may elect to have borrowings under the facility bear interest at (i) LIBOR plus 1.85% or (ii) the greater of (a) the base rate, which is the greater of KeyBank National Association's prime rate and 0.5% above the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland's rate, plus in each case 0.85%, and (b) the 30-day LIBOR plus 1.85%. The interest rate is currently at LIBOR plus 1.85%. The Company may prepay the ACC3 Term Loan at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium.

The loan is secured by the ACC3 data center and an assignment of the lease agreement between the Company and the tenant of ACC3. The Operating Partnership has guaranteed the outstanding principal amount of the ACC3 Term Loan, plus interest and certain costs under the loan.

The ACC3 Term Loan imposes financial maintenance covenants relating to, among other things, the following matters:


•	consolidated total indebtedness of the Operating Partnership not exceeding 60% of gross asset value of the Operating Partnership;


•	fixed charge coverage ratio of the Operating Partnership being not less than 1.70 to 1.00;


•	tangible net worth of the Operating Partnership being not less than $1.3 billion plus 80% of the sum of (i) net equity offering proceeds and (ii) the value of equity interests issued in connection with a contribution of assets to the Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries; and


•	debt service coverage ratio of the borrower not less than 1.50 to 1.00.

The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the loan as of June 30, 2013.

Unsecured Notes

On December 16, 2009, the Operating Partnership completed the sale of $550 million of 8.5% senior notes due 2017 (the “Unsecured Notes”). The Unsecured Notes were issued at face value. The Company pays interest on the Unsecured Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on December 15 and June 15 of each year. On each of December 15, 2015 and December 15, 2016, $125 million in principal amount of the Unsecured Notes will become due and payable, with the remaining $300 million due on December 15, 2017.

At any time prior to December 15, 2013, the Operating Partnership may redeem the Unsecured Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Unsecured Notes to be redeemed, plus (ii) a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The notes may be redeemed at the option of the Operating Partnership, in whole or in part, at any time, on and after December 15, 2013 at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing December 15 of the years indicated below, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption:



Year	Redemption Price
2013	104.250	%
2014	102.125	%
2015 and thereafter	100.000	%

The Unsecured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by DFT and certain of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own the ACC2, ACC4, ACC5, ACC6, VA3, VA4, CH1, NJ1 and SC1 data centers and the SC2 parcels of land (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), but excluding the subsidiaries that own the ACC3 data center facility, the ACC7 data center under development, the ACC8 parcel of land and the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), DF Technical Services, LLC.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Unsecured Notes as of June 30, 2013.

Unsecured Credit Facility

In June 2013, the Company exercised the accordion feature on its unsecured revolving credit facility, resulting in an increase in total commitment from $225 million to $400 million. The maturity date of the facility is March 21, 2016, with a one-year extension option, subject to the payment of an extension fee equal to 25 basis points on the total commitment in effect on the maturity date and certain other customary conditions.

Under the terms of the facility, the Company may elect to have borrowings under the facility bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, which is based on the lender's prime rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. Prior to the Company's Unsecured Notes receiving an investment grade credit rating, the applicable margin added to LIBOR and the base rate is based on the table below.



		Applicable Margin
Pricing Level	Ratio of Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value	LIBOR Rate Loans		Base Rate Loans
Level 1	Less than or equal to 35%	1.85	%	0.85	%
Level 2	Greater than 35% but less than or equal to 40%	2.00	%	1.00	%
Level 3	Greater than 40% but less than or equal to 45%	2.15	%	1.15	%
Level 4	Greater than 45% but less than or equal to 52.5%	2.30	%	1.30	%
Level 5	Greater than 52.5%	2.50	%	1.50	%

As of June 30, 2013, the applicable margin was set at pricing level 1. The terms of the facility provide for the adjustment of the applicable margin from time to time according to the ratio of the Operating Partnership’s total indebtedness to gross asset value in effect from time to time.

The terms of the facility also provide that, in the event that the Company's Unsecured Notes receive an investment grade credit rating, borrowings under the facility will bear interest based on the table below.

Following the receipt of such investment grade rating, the terms of the facility provide for the adjustment of the applicable margin from time to time according to the rating then in effect.

The facility is unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the Company and all of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that currently guaranty the obligations under the Company’s Indenture governing the terms of the Unsecured Notes, listed above.

The amount available for borrowings under the facility is determined according to a calculation comparing the value of certain unencumbered properties designated by the Operating Partnership at such time relative to the amount of the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt. Up to $35 million of the borrowings under the facility may be used for letters of credit.

In June 2013, the Company amended its unsecured credit facility to provide for an option to increase the total commitment under the facility to $600 million, if one or more lenders commit to being a lender for the additional amount and certain other customary conditions are met.

As of June 30, 2013, $60.0 million was outstanding under the facility, with no letters of credit. As of the date of this report, $80.0 million was outstanding under the facility, with no letters of credit.

The facility requires that the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries comply with various covenants, including with respect to restrictions on liens, incurring indebtedness, making investments, effecting mergers and/or asset sales, and certain limits on dividend payments, distributions and purchases of the Company's stock. In addition, the facility imposes financial maintenance covenants relating to, among other things, the following matters:


•	unsecured debt not exceeding 60% of the value of unencumbered assets;

The facility includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Operating Partnership under the facility to be immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the facility as of June 30, 2013.

5. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved from time to time in various legal proceedings, lawsuits, examinations by various tax authorities and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. Management currently believes that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

A contract related to the development of ACC7 Phase I data center was in place as of June 30, 2013. This contract is cost plus in nature whereby the contract sum is the aggregate of the actual work performed and equipment purchased plus a contractor fee. Control estimates, which are adjusted from time to time to reflect any contract changes, are estimates of the total contract cost at completion. As of June 30, 2013 the ACC7 Phase I control estimate was $157.4 million of which $10.7 million had been incurred. An additional $26.2 million has been committed under this contract as of June 30, 2013.

Concurrent with DFT’s October 2007 initial public offering, the Company entered into tax protection agreements with some of the contributors of the initial properties including DFT’s Chairman of the Board and President and CEO. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, if the Company disposes of any interest in the initial contributed properties that generates more than a certain allowable amount of built-in gain for the contributors, as a group, in any single year through 2017, the Company will indemnify the contributors for a portion of the tax liabilities incurred with respect to the amount of built-in gain and tax liabilities incurred as a result of the reimbursement payment. The amount of initial built-in gain that can be recognized as of

Table of Contents

January 1, 2013 without triggering the tax protection provisions is approximately 60% of the initial built in gain of $667 million (unaudited) or $400 million (unaudited). This percentage grows each year by 10%, accumulating to 100% in 2017. If, as of January 1, 2013, the tax protection provisions were triggered, the Company could be liable for protection on the taxes related to approximately up to $267 million (unaudited) of built-in gain. Additionally, the Company must provide an opportunity for certain of the contributors of the initial properties to guarantee a secured loan. Any sale by the Company that requires payments to any of DFT’s executive officers or directors pursuant to these agreements requires the approval of at least 75% of the disinterested members of DFT’s Board of Directors.

6. Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership / Redeemable partnership units

Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, as presented on DFT’s consolidated balance sheets, represent the OP units held by individuals and entities other than DFT. These interests are also presented on the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets, referred to as “redeemable partnership units.” Accordingly, the following discussion related to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership of the REIT refers equally to redeemable partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

The redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $383.9 million and $453.9 million, respectively, based on the closing share price of DFT’s common stock of $24.15 and $24.16, respectively, on those dates.

Holders of OP units are entitled to receive distributions in a per unit amount equal to the per share dividends made with respect to each share of DFT’s common stock, if and when DFT’s Board of Directors declares such a dividend. Holders of OP units have the right to tender their units for redemption, in an amount equal to the fair market value of DFT’s common stock. DFT may elect to redeem tendered OP units for cash or for shares of DFT’s common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, OP unitholders redeemed a total of 2,891,269 OP units in exchange for an equal number of shares of common stock. See Note 2.

9. Equity Compensation Plan

In May 2011, DFT’s Board of Directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) following approval from its stockholders. The 2011 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of DFT’s Board of Directors. The 2011 Plan allows the Company to provide equity-based compensation to its personnel in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based awards, unrestricted stock, long term incentive units (“LTIP units”) and other awards.

The 2011 Plan authorizes a maximum aggregate of 6,300,000 share equivalents be reserved for future issuances. In addition, shares that were awarded under the Company’s 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) that subsequently become available due to forfeitures of such awards will be available for issuance under the 2011 Plan.

The 2011 Plan provides that awards can no longer be made under the 2007 Plan. Furthermore, under the 2011 Plan, shares of common stock that are subject to awards of options or stock appreciation rights will be counted against the 2011 Plan share limit as one share for every one share subject to the award. Any shares of stock that are subject to awards other than options or stock appreciation rights shall be counted against the 2011 Plan share limit as 2.36 shares for every one share subject to the award.

As of June 30, 2013, 1,644,906 share equivalents were issued under the 2011 Plan, and the maximum aggregate amount of share equivalents remaining available for future issuance was 4,655,094.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company issued 139,963 shares of restricted stock, which had an aggregate value of $3.2 million on the respective grant dates. This amount will be amortized to expense over a three year vesting period. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2013, 158,521 shares of restricted stock vested at a value of $3.7 million on the respective vesting dates.

As of June 30, 2013, total unearned compensation on restricted stock was $5.2 million, and the weighted average vesting period was 1.3 years.

Stock Options

Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of DFT’s common stock at the date of grant and vest over specified periods of time as long as the employee remains employed with the Company. All shares to be issued upon option exercises will be newly issued shares and the options have 10-year contractual terms.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. Expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes model is based on DFT’s historical volatility. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value the stock options granted and the fair value of these options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Expected volatility	34		%
Expected annual dividend	4		%
Risk-free rate	0.83		%
Fair value at date of grant	$1.8 million

Performance Units

Performance unit awards are awarded to certain executive employees and have a three calendar-year performance period with no dividend rights. Performance units will be settled in common shares following the performance period as long as the employee remains employed with the Company on the vesting date, which is the March 1st date following the last day of the applicable performance period. Performance units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and are amortized over the three year vesting period from the grant date to the vesting date. The number of common shares settled could range from 0% to 300% of target, depending on DFT’s total stockholder return compared to the MSCI US REIT index over the three calendar-year performance period. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value, and the resulting fair and maximum values of, the performance units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

12. Fair Value

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The authoritative guidance issued by the FASB requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates, and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value amounts and disclosures for financial instruments as of June 30, 2013:


•	Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (i.e., less than 90 days).


•	Restricted cash: The carrying amount of restricted cash reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments.


•	Rents and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and prepaid rents: The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts.

•

Debt: As of June 30, 2013, the combined balance of the Company’s Unsecured Notes and mortgage notes payable was $725.0 million with a fair value of $749.0 million based on Level 1 and Level 3 data. The Level 1 data is for the Unsecured Notes and consisted of a quote from the market maker in the Unsecured Notes. The Level 3 data for the Line of Credit and ACC3 Loan is based on discounted cash flows using a one-month LIBOR swap rate of 0.71% for the Line of Credit and 1.45% for the ACC3 Loan as of June 30, 2013 plus a 1.85% spread that is consistent with current market conditions.

13. Supplemental Consolidating Financial Data for Subsidiary Guarantors of the Unsecured Notes

On December 16, 2009, the Operating Partnership issued the Unsecured Notes (See Note 4). The Unsecured Notes are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by DFT and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own the ACC2, ACC4, ACC5, ACC6, VA3, VA4, CH1, NJ1 and SC1 data centers and the SC2 parcels of land,but excluding the subsidiaries that own the ACC3 data center facility, the ACC7 data center under development, the ACC8 parcel of land and the TRS. The following consolidating financial information sets forth the financial position as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 of the Operating Partnership, Subsidiary Guarantors and the Subsidiary Non-Guarantors.

In the first quarter of 2013, the company elected to add the subsidiary that owns the SC1 data center facility and SC2 parcels of land as a guarantor of the Unsecured Notes and Unsecured Credit Facility. Also in the first quarter of 2013, in conjunction with the closing of the ACC3 Term Loan, the subsidiary that owns the Company's ACC3 data center facility was removed as a guarantor of the Unsecured Notes and Unsecured Credit Facility. These changes have been reflected in both the current and prior periods of the following consolidating financial information for comparability purposes.

ITEM 2.	MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond the Company’s control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. The Company cautions you that while forward-looking statements reflect its good faith beliefs when the Company makes them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after the Company makes such statements. The Company expressly disclaims any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

For a detailed discussion of certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. You should also review the risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and identified in other documents that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The risks and uncertainties discussed in these reports are not exhaustive. The Company operates in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment and new risk factors may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the Company’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Development Update

In May 2013, the Company executed an agreement with its general contractor to build the entire shell and portions of the underground conduit at ACC7 and to fully develop the first phase of ACC7 (11.89 MW of critical load) with expected completion in the second quarter of 2014. ACC7 is expected to be built in four phases totaling 41.60 MW of available critical load.

Leasing Update

The Company derives substantially all of its revenue from rents received from tenants under existing leases at each of the operating properties. Because the Company believes that critical load is the primary factor used by tenants in evaluating data center requirements, rents are based primarily on the amount of power that is made available to tenants, rather than the amount of space that they occupy. During the first six months of 2013, the Company executed two leases representing a total of 4.01 MW of critical load, 21,151 raised square feet of space and a weighted average lease term of 5.2 years that are expected to generate approximately $3.9 million of annualized GAAP base rent revenue. One lease was at SC1 comprising 2.28 MW of critical load and 11,000 raised square feet and one lease was at CH1 comprising 1.73 MW of critical load and 10,151 raised square feet.

Each of the Company’s leases includes pass-through provisions under which tenants are required to pay for their pro rata share of most of the property-level operating expenses, such as real estate taxes and insurance – commonly referred to as a

Table of Contents

triple net lease. In addition, under the Company’s triple-net lease structure, tenants pay directly for the power they use to run their servers and other computer equipment and power that is used to cool their space. The Company intends to continue to structure future leases as triple net leases. The Company’s leases also provide it with a property management fee based on a percentage of base rent collected and property-level operating expenses, other than charges for power used by tenants to run their servers and cool their space. Also, most of the Company’s leases provide for annual rent increases, generally at a rate of 3% or a function of the consumer price index.

The Company leases space on a long-term basis, and the Company’s weighted average remaining lease term for commenced leases was approximately 6.9 years as of June 30, 2013. Although less than 15% of the Company’s leases – in terms of annualized base rent – are scheduled to expire through 2016, the Company’s ability to generate rental income over time will depend on its ability to retain tenants when their leases expire and re-lease space available from leases that expire or are terminated at attractive rates. During the first quarter of 2013, leases at ACC5 and VA3 were restructured with a tenant and 0.55 MW was returned at ACC5 and 0.65 MW was returned at VA3. Additionally, an unrelated tenant at CH1 Phase II exercised their option to return 1.30 MW before the lease had commenced. The Company re-leased the 1.30 MW of CH1 Phase II space in May 2013. The Company is actively marketing the VA3 space, but it can provide no assurances regarding when the space will be re-leased or the rates that it will be able to charge for the space, particularly in light of some of the factors discussed below.

Market Conditions

Changes in the conditions of any of the markets in which the Company’s operating properties are located will impact the overall performance of the Company’s current and future operating properties and the Company’s ability to fully lease its properties. The ability of the Company’s tenants to fulfill their lease commitments could be impacted by future economic or regional downturns in the markets in which the Company operates or downturns in the technology industry.

The opportunity for revenue growth in the near term primarily depends on the Company’s ability to lease vacant space in two of its operating properties that were recently placed into service – NJ1 Phase I and SC1 Phase I and the ability to re-lease space in VA3 which was 51% leased as of June 30, 2013. The Company takes into account various factors when negotiating the terms of its leases, which can vary among leases, including the following factors: the tenant’s strategic importance, growth prospects and credit quality, the length of the lease term, the amount of power leased and competitive market conditions. In each of its stabilized properties, the Company has been able to lease vacant space at rates that provide a favorable return on its investment in these facilities. There appears to be increased pricing pressure in some of the markets in which the Company competes, including lower rates and increased concessions. It is unclear to what extent this will adversely impact the rental rates, and, in turn, the rates of return of its investment, that the Company can obtain as it pursues leasing available space. The returns on the Company’s investments it has achieved to date at the properties recently placed into service would be impacted negatively if it is unable to lease vacant space with rents equal to or above its historic rates.

The Company receives expense reimbursement from tenants only on space that is leased. Vacant space results in portions of the Company’s operating expenses being unreimbursed, which in turn negatively impacts revenues and net income. It is difficult for the Company to predict the timing for signing and commencing leases for available space. This uncertainty is particularly true with respect to the leasing of vacant space in data center facilities that are located in new markets for the Company – NJ1 Phase I in Piscataway, New Jersey and SC1 Phase I in Santa Clara, California. The Company can provide no assurances regarding its ability to lease vacant space at its NJ1 Phase I facility in Piscataway, New Jersey, its SC1 Phase I facility in Santa Clara, California and its VA3 facility in Reston, Virginia in a timely manner, at favorable rates or at all.

The Company's four largest tenants comprised 61% of its annualized base rent as of June 30, 2013. None of the leases of the Company's three largest tenants have early termination rights. The fourth largest tenant has early termination rights in certain of its leases, and the Company has reflected these leases in the Lease Expiration Table above at the early termination dates. The Company expects these tenants to evaluate their lease expirations in the year before expiration is scheduled to occur, taking into account, among other factors, their anticipated need for server capacity and economic factors. If the Company cannot renew these leases at similar rates or attract replacement tenants on similar terms in a timely manner, the Company’s rental income could be materially adversely impacted in future periods.

The Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), DF Technical Services, LLC, generates revenue by providing certain technical services to the Company’s tenants on a non-recurring contract or purchase-order basis, which the Company refers to as “a la carte” services. Such services include the installation of circuits, racks, breakers and other tenant requested items. The TRS will generally charge tenants for these services on a cost-plus basis. Because the degree of utilization of the TRS for these services varies from period to period depending on the needs of the tenants for technical services, the Company has limited ability to forecast future revenue from this source. Moreover, as a taxable corporation, the TRS is subject to federal, state and local corporate taxes and is not required to distribute its income, if any, to the Company for purposes of making additional

Table of Contents

distributions to DFT’s stockholders. Because demand for its services is unpredictable, the Company anticipates that the TRS may retain a significant amount of its cash to fund future operations, and therefore the Company does not expect to receive distributions from the TRS on a regular basis.

In the current economic environment, certain types of real estate have experienced declines in value. If this trend were to be experienced by any of the Company’s data centers, the Company may have to write down the value of that data center, which would result in the Company recording a charge against earnings.

Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains stand-alone unaudited financial statements and other financial data for each of DFT and the Operating Partnership. DFT is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2013, owned 80.3% of the common economic interest in the Operating Partnership, of which approximately 1.0% is held as general partnership units. All of the Company’s operations are conducted by the Operating Partnership which is consolidated by DFT, and therefore the following information is the same for DFT and the Operating Partnership, except that net income attributable to common shares is not a line item in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated statement of operations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $91.6 million. This includes base rent of $61.7 million, tenant recoveries of $29.1 million, which includes the Company's property management fee, and other revenue of $0.8 million, partially from a la carte projects for the Company's tenants performed by its TRS. This compares to revenue of $82.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $8.9 million, or 10.8%, was primarily due to leases commencing at ACC6 Phases I and II, SC1 Phase I and CH1 Phase II, partially offset by one lease at VA3 that expired on April 30, 2012.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $56.6 million, compared to $53.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $3.0 million, or 5.6%, was primarily due to the following: $2.6 million of increased operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance as ACC6 Phase II was opened in January 2013, CH1 Phase II was opened in February 2012 and real estate taxes increased at NJ1 and SC1; and a $0.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization from the opening of ACC6 Phase II.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $13.3 million compared to interest expense of $13.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Total interest incurred for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $13.6 million, of which $0.3 million was capitalized, as compared to $14.0 million for the corresponding period in 2012, of which $0.4 million was capitalized. The decrease in total interest incurred period over period was primarily due to the repayment of the ACC5 Term Loan in March 2013 and the closing of the ACC3 Term Loan in March 2013 which resulted in a lower interest rate for the three month period year over year.

Net Income Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling interests – Operating Partnership (DFT only). Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $3.0 million as compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $1.0 million was primarily due to the Operating Partnership receiving its allocation of higher net income partially offset by a decrease in ownership of redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership due to OP unitholders redeeming 3.1 million OP units in exchange for an equal number of shares of DFT’s common stock during the period from April 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.

Net Income Attributable to Common Shares. Net income attributable to common shares for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $12.0 million as compared to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $5.3 million was primarily due to higher operating revenue, and a decrease in ownership of redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership due to redemptions of OP units by OP unitholders.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Operating Revenue. Operating revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $179.3 million. This includes base rent of $122.2 million, tenant recoveries of $55.4 million, which includes the Company's property management fee, and other revenue of $1.7 million, partially from a la carte projects for the Company's tenants performed by its TRS. This compares to revenue of $161.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $18.3 million, or 11.4%, was primarily due to leases commencing at ACC6 Phases I and II, SC1 Phase I and CH1 Phase II, partially offset by one lease at VA3 that expired on April 30, 2012.

Table of Contents

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $112.1 million, compared to $105.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $6.2 million, or 5.9%, was primarily due to the following: $5.2 million of increased operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance as ACC6 Phase II was opened in January 2013, CH1 Phase II was opened in February 2012 and real estate taxes increased at NJ1 and SC1; and a $1.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization from the opening of CH1 Phase II and ACC6 Phase II. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense of $0.9 million primarily due to decreases in payroll and professional expenses.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, including amortization of deferred financing costs, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $28.8 million compared to interest expense of $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Total interest incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $29.3 million, of which $0.5 million was capitalized, as compared to $27.9 million for the corresponding period in 2012, of which $1.6 million was capitalized. The increase in total interest incurred period over period was primarily due to a $1.7 million write off of loan fees related to the repayment of the ACC5 Term Loan in March 2013. Interest capitalized decreased period over period as the Company had higher cumulative development costs paid for its development project in the first six months of 2012 compared to the first six months of 2013.

Net Income Attributable to Redeemable Noncontrolling interests – Operating Partnership (DFT only). Net income attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $4.9 million as compared to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $1.3 million was primarily due to the Operating Partnership receiving its allocation of higher net income partially offset by a decrease in ownership of redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership due to OP unitholders redeeming 3.2 million OP units in exchange for an equal number of shares of DFT’s common stock during the period from January 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.

Net Income Attributable to Common Shares. Net income attributable to common shares for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $19.9 million as compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase of $8.1 million was primarily due to higher operating revenue, and a decrease in ownership of redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership due to redemptions of OP units by OP unitholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Discussion of Cash Flows

The discussion of cash flows below is for both DFT and the Operating Partnership. The only difference between the cash flows of DFT and the Operating Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a $4.3 million bank account at DFT that is not part of the Operating Partnership.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $27.2 million, or 46.4%, to $85.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to $58.6 million for the corresponding period in 2012. The increase is primarily due to higher cash rents from tenants and increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and prepaid rents and other liabilities partially offset by increased prepaid expenses and other assets.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $13.6 million, or 34.9%, to $25.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $39.0 million for the corresponding period in 2012. Cash used in investing activities in each period consisted primarily of expenditures for projects under development. During each period, the Company had one project under development; however, development costs paid during the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $15.2 million lower than for the corresponding period in 2012 and interest capitalized on these projects declined $1.0 million. Also, improvements to real estate increased by $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30 2013 as compared to the year ago period primarily due to a battery replacement project at VA4 and a lobby upgrade at VA3.

Net cash used in financing activities was $69.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $6.8 million provided in the corresponding period in 2012. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 consisted of the repayment of the ACC5 Term Loan of $138.3 million, $37.8 million paid for common stock repurchases, $46.2 million paid for dividends and distributions, $3.0 million in financing costs related to the ACC3 Term Loan and the amendments of the unsecured revolving credit facility and $1.3 million of principal payments on the ACC5 Term Loan, partially offset by $115.0 million of proceeds from the closing of the ACC3 Term Loan and $42.0 million net borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility. Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 primarily consisted of $62.7 million of net proceeds from the issuance of 2.6 million additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, partially offset by a $20.0 million net pay down of the unsecured revolving credit facility, $32.1 million paid for dividends and distributions, $2.1 million in financing costs paid to amend the unsecured revolving credit facility and $2.6 million in principal payments on the ACC5 Term Loan.

Capital Resources

The development and construction of wholesale data centers is very capital intensive. This development not only requires the Company to make substantial capital investments, but also increases its operating expenses, which impacts its cash flows from operations negatively until leases are executed and the Company begins to collect cash rents from these leases. In addition, because DFT has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, DFT is required to distribute at least 90% of “REIT taxable income,” excluding any net capital gain, to its stockholders annually.

The Company generally funds the cost of data center development from additional capital, which, for future developments, the Company would expect to obtain through unsecured and secured borrowings, construction financings and the issuance of additional preferred and/or common equity, when market conditions permit. In determining the source of capital to meet the Company’s long-term liquidity needs, the Company will evaluate its level of indebtedness and covenants, in particular with respect to the covenants under the Company’s unsecured notes and unsecured line of credit, its expected cash flow from operations, the state of the capital markets, interest rates and other terms for borrowing, and the relative timing considerations and costs of borrowing or issuing equity securities.

On November 19, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a Repurchase Program to acquire up to $80.0 million of the Company's common shares. Depending on its analysis of market prices, economic conditions and other opportunities for the investment of available capital, including data center development, DFT may repurchase its common stock pursuant to the program. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, DFT repurchased 1,632,673 shares of its common stock totaling $37.8 million. These purchases constituted 2.6% of the balance of common shares outstanding as of December 31, 2012. Shares were purchased at an average price of $23.12 per share and were retired immediately. The Company may purchase an additional $42.2 million of its common stock pursuant to the stock repurchase program.

On March 27, 2013, the Company entered into a 5-year, $115 million term loan facility secured by the its ACC3 data center and an assignment of the lease agreement between the Company and the tenant of ACC3. The Company used the proceeds from this loan, as well as cash on hand, to repay its $138.3 million ACC5 term loan, which was scheduled to mature in 2014.

The ability to pay dividends to stockholders is dependent on the receipt of distributions from the Operating Partnership, which in turn is dependent on the data center properties generating operating income. The indenture that governs the Company’s unsecured notes limits DFT’s ability to pay dividends, but allows DFT to pay the minimum necessary to meet its REIT income distribution requirements.

Funds from operations, or FFO, is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP, impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company also presents FFO attributable to common shares and OP units, which is FFO excluding preferred stock dividends. FFO attributable to common shares and OP units per share is calculated on a basis consistent with net income attributable to common shares and OP units and reflects adjustments to net income for preferred stock dividends.

Table of Contents

The Company uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared period over period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. The Company also believes that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company’s performance is limited.

While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to the Company’s FFO. Therefore, the Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of its historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to cash flow from operating activities (each as computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to pay dividends or make distributions.



ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.

The Company’s variable rate debt consists of the ACC3 Term Loan and the Unsecured Credit Facility. The ACC3 Term Loan currently bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin and the Unsecured Credit Facility also currently bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin. If interest rates were to increase by 1%, the increase in interest expense on the Company’s variable rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2013 would decrease future net income and cash flows by $1.8 million annually less the impact of capitalization of interest incurred on the Company’s net income. Because one month LIBOR was approximately 0.2% at June 30, 2013, a decrease of 0.2% would increase future net income and cash flows by $0.4 million annually less the impact of capitalization of interest incurred on the Company’s net income. Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on the Company’s financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, the Company may take specific actions to further mitigate its exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in the Company’s financial structure. The Company believes that it has effectively managed interest rate exposure because the majority of its indebtedness bears a fixed rate of interest. At June 30, 2013, 76% of the Company’s indebtedness was fixed rate debt. The Company also utilizes preferred stock to raise capital, the dividends required under the terms of which have a coupon rate that is fixed.
