EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company owned an approximate ~~97.1%~~97.7% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate ~~2.9%~~2.3% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by certain limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company exercises exclusive and complete discretion over the Operating ~~Partnership’s~~Partnership's day-to-day management and control and can cause it to enter into certain major transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.

The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one enterprise. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the ~~Company’s~~Company's assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.

We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. The main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership are:

~~Stockholders’~~Stockholders' Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and ~~Partners’~~Partners' Capital. The ~~2.9%~~2.3% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by entities other than the Company is classified within ~~partners’~~partners' capital in the Operating ~~Partnership’s~~Partnership's financial statements and as a noncontrolling interest in the Company's financial statements.

Relationship to Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, although operations are also conducted through eight other limited partnerships, which are referred to as the "Other Real Estate Partnerships." The Operating Partnership is a limited partner, holding at least a 99% interest, and the Company is a general partner, holding at least a .01% general partnership interest through eight separate wholly-owned corporations, in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities that both the Company and the Operating Partnership consolidate. The Company's direct general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships is reflected as noncontrolling interest within the Operating Partnership's financial statements.

Relationship to Service Subsidiary. The Company has a direct wholly-owned subsidiary that does not own any real estate but provides services to various other entities owned by the Company. Since the Operating Partnership does not have an ownership interest in this entity, its operations are reflected in the consolidated results of the Company but not the Operating Partnership. Also, this entity owes certain amounts to the Operating Partnership, for which a receivable is included on the Operating ~~Partnership’s~~Partnership's balance sheet but is eliminated on the ~~Company’s~~Company's consolidated balance sheet, since both this entity and the Operating Partnership are fully consolidated by the Company.

We believe combining the ~~Company’s~~Company's and Operating ~~Partnership’s~~Partnership's quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:

enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

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

eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation for our investors to review since a substantial portion of the ~~Company’s~~Company's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides the following separate disclosures for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

consolidated financial statements;

a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each ~~entity’s stockholders’~~entity's stockholders' equity or ~~partners’~~partners' capital, as applicable; and

a combined ~~Management’s~~Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.

This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate ~~97.1%~~97.7% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through eight other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. Noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately ~~2.9%~~2.3% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units").

We also own a 49% equity interest in, and provide various services to, a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") through a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Venture is not consolidated with that of the Company or the Operating Partnership as presented herein. See Note 5 for more information related to the Joint Venture.

Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs, the Other Real Estate Partnerships, the TRSs and the ~~TRSs~~Joint Venture are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, the members or the shareholders, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we owned ~~485~~471 industrial properties located in 21 states, containing an aggregate of approximately ~~60.1~~61.1 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the ~~485~~471 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 ("2017 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2017 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2017 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2017 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2017 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates

In order to conform with GAAP, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, and our cash flows for each of the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Standards Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue when they transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of the standard did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

In August 2016 and November 2016, the FASB issued new ASUs impacting the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-15, ~~“Statement~~"Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash ~~Payments”~~Payments" intends to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We adopted both standards on January 1, 2018.

The adoption of ~~these standards~~ASU Nos. 2016-15 and 2016-18 modified our presentation of certain activities within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Restricted cash is comprised of gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties that are held by intermediary agents to be used for tax-deferred, like-kind exchange transactions under Section 1031 of the Code. For the ~~three month~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, ~~$48,579~~$15,679 and ~~$7,503~~$5,619 of restricted cash was included in "Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash" in our Consolidated ~~Satements~~Statements of Cash Flows. Additionally, as a result of the adoption of ~~the~~these standards we reclassified $1,453 of prepayment penalties in connection with the payoff of certain mortgage loans from operating activities to financing activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2017.

The following table presents a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within our Consolidated Balance Sheets to amounts reported within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017:


	2018	2017	2018		2017
Cash and Cash Equivalents	19,782	18,998	$	61,834	$	11,607
Restricted Cash	48,579	7,503	15,679		5,619
Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	68,361	26,501	$	77,513	$	17,226

Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease ~~accounting and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.~~accounting. ASU 2016-02 will require lessees, at lease commencement to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and record a right-of-use asset, which represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for ~~the lease term.~~all leases with terms longer than twelve months. We are a lessee on a limited number of ground and office leases and expect to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability for these leases upon adoption of this standard. ~~We are the lessor on a significant number of leases, however, we believe that ASU 2016-02 will have minimal impact to our financial condition or results of operations as such~~The expense pattern for these leases will be ~~accounted~~consistent with that of our historical recognition.

We continue to monitor FASB activity with respect to possible amendments to ASU 2016-02, particularly the FASB's recent vote to provide an optional practical expedient to lessors that would remove the requirement for lessors to separate lease and non-lease components when the timing and pattern of transferWhile we are well into our analysis of the non-lease components and the lease component are the same and, when the stand-alone lease component would be classified as an operating lease if account for separately. Should such amendment be finalized,adoption, we ~~expect to elect the practical expedient. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and anticipate electing the practical expedients. We~~ will continue to ~~refine our evaluation~~evaluate and ~~finalize our implementation plan throughout 2018.~~assess the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, ~~“Derivatives~~"Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeting Improvements to Accounting for Hedging ~~Activities” (“~~Activities" ("ASU ~~2017-12”~~2017-12"). ASU 2017-12 is intended to better align financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. As a result of the transition guidance, cumulative ineffectiveness that has been previously recognized on cash flow and net investment hedges that are still outstanding and designated as of the date of adoption will be adjusted and removed from beginning retained earnings and placed in accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We continue to assess all the potential impacts of ASU ~~2017-12,~~2017-12; however, we do not expect the adoption to have an impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

3. Investment in Real Estate

The revenue and net income associated with the acquisition of the industrial properties, since their respective acquisition dates, are not significant for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018.

Real Estate Held for Sale

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we had 19two industrial properties comprised of approximately ~~0.5~~0.4 million square feet of GLA and four land parcels held for sale.

Sales

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we sold ~~eight~~30 industrial properties comprised of approximately ~~0.5~~1.3 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from the sales of these industrial properties were ~~$42,390.~~$97,979. The gain on sale of real estate was ~~$20,089.~~$45,156.

Impairment Charges

The impairment charges of $2,756 recorded during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 were due to marketing one industrial property and one land parcel for sale and our assessment of the likelihood and timing of a potential sale transaction. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, the one industrial property was sold.

_______________

^(A) During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, pursuant to ~~our~~the agreements for our unsecured term loans entered into in 2014 and 2015 (collectively, the ~~2014 Unsecured~~"Unsecured Term ~~Loan and our 2015 Unsecured Term Loan,~~Loans"), we elected to have the interest spread calculated based on our investment grade rating resulting in a 10 basis point reduction in the credit spread compared to the prior rate. The interest rate at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 also reflects the interest rate protection agreements we entered into to effectively convert the variable rate to a fixed rate. See Note 10.

^(B) The maturity date may be extended an additional year at our election, subject to certain restrictions. Amounts exclude unamortized debt issuance costs of ~~$4,495~~$4,182 and $4,781 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we assumed a mortgage loan in the amount of $11,654 in conjunction with the acquisition of three industrial properties, totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.17%, principal payments are amortized over 30 years and the loan matures in August 2028.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we paid off mortgage loans in the amount of $157,782. In connection with the mortgage loans paid off during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we recognized $39 as loss from retirement of debt representing the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs offset by the write off of an unamortized premium.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, mortgage loans payable are collateralized, and in some instances cross-collateralized, by industrial properties with a net carrying value of ~~$452,685.~~$450,187. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018.

Senior Unsecured Notes, Net

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Operating Partnership issued $150,000 of 3.86% Series C Guaranteed Senior Notes due February 15, 2028 (the ~~“2028~~"2028 Private Placement ~~Notes”~~Notes") and $150,000 of 3.96% Series D Guaranteed Senior Notes due February 15, 2030 (the ~~“2030~~"2030 Private Placement ~~Notes”~~Notes") (together with the 2027 Private Placement Notes and the 2029 Private Placement Notes (each as described in Note 4), collectively, the "Private Placement Notes") in a private placement pursuant to a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated December 12, 2017. The 2028 Private Placement Notes and the 2030 Private Placement Notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and require semi-annual interest payments.

Indebtedness

The following is a schedule of the stated maturities and scheduled principal payments of our indebtedness, exclusive of premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs, for the next five years as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, and thereafter:


	Amount		Amount
Remainder of 2018	$	5,483	$	3,682
2019	79,600		79,600
2020	59,046		59,046
2021	367,113		267,113
2022	341,552		341,552
Thereafter	558,870		558,870
Total	$	1,411,664	$	1,309,863

Our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), the Unsecured Term Loans, ~~(as defined in Note 10),~~ the Private Placement Notes and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans an event of default can occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreements. We believe ~~that~~ the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans, the Private Placement Notes and indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders and noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

Fair Value

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fair value of our indebtedness was as follows:


	March 31, 2018				December 31, 2017				June 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Amount^(A)		Fair Value		Carrying Amount^(A)		Fair Value		Carrying Amount^(A)		Fair Value		Carrying Amount^(A)		Fair Value

_______________

^(A) The carrying amounts include unamortized premiums and discounts and exclude unamortized debt issuance costs.

The fair values of our mortgage loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made based upon similar remaining maturities. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes were determined by using rates, as advised by our bankers, that are based upon recent trades within the same series of the senior unsecured notes, recent trades for senior unsecured notes with comparable maturities, recent trades for fixed rate unsecured notes from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. The fair value of the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term, assuming no repayment until maturity. We have concluded that our determination of fair value for each of our mortgage loans payable, senior unsecured notes, the Unsecured Term Loans and the Unsecured Credit Facility was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

5. Variable Interest Entities

Other Real Estate Partnerships

The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities ("VIEs") of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary, thus causing the Other Real Estate Partnerships to be consolidated by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Operating Partnership is a VIE of the Company and the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of the Other Real Estate Partnerships included in our consolidated balance sheets, net of intercompany amounts:

Joint Venture

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into the Joint Venture with a third party partner for the purpose of developing, selling, leasing and operating approximately 532 net developable acres of land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. The purchase price of the land was $49,000 and was acquired by the Joint Venture via cash equity contributions from us and our joint venture partner. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, we own a 49% interest in the Joint Venture.

Under the Joint Venture's operating agreement, we act as the managing member of the Joint Venture and are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, development, construction supervision, disposition and asset management services to the Joint Venture. In addition, the Joint Venture's operating agreement provides us the ability to earn an incentive fee based on the ultimate financial performance of the Joint Venture.

As part of our assessment of the appropriate accounting treatment for the Joint Venture, we reviewed the operating agreement of the Joint Venture in order to determine our rights and the rights of our joint venture partner, including whether those rights are protective or participating. We found that the operating agreement contains certain protective rights, such as the requirement of member approval to sell, finance or refinance the property and to pay capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget. However, we also found that we and our Joint Venture partner jointly (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) review and approve the Joint Venture's tax return before filing and (iv) approve each lease at a developed property. We consider the latter rights substantive participation rights that result in shared, joint power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the Joint Venture. As such, we concluded to account for our investment in the Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the derivative or over the life of the debt. In the next 12 months, we expect to amortize approximately $95 into net income by increasing interest expense for interest rate protection agreements we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement amounts on the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps (as defined in Note 10) will also be reclassified to net income. See Note 10 for more information about our derivatives.

Under the two class method, participating security holders are allocated income, in proportion to total weighted average shares or Units outstanding, based upon the greater of net income or common stock dividends or Unit distributions declared.

9. Benefit Plans

Restricted Stock or Restricted Unit Awards

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company awarded ~~208,890~~211,890 shares of restricted stock awards to certain employees, which had an aggregate fair value of ~~$5,981~~$6,068 on the date such awards were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. These restricted stock awards were granted based upon the achievement of certain corporate performance goals and generally vest over a period of three years. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company awarded 15,169 shares of restricted stock to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, which had an aggregate fair value of $490 on the date of approval. These restricted stock awards vest over a one-year period. The Operating Partnership issued restricted Unit awards to the Company in the same amount for both restricted stock awards.

Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the restricted stock or restricted Unit awards expected to vest except if the recipient is not required to provide future service in exchange for vesting of such restricted stock or restricted Unit awards. If vesting of a recipient's restricted stock or restricted Unit awards is not contingent upon future service, the expense is recognized immediately at the date of grant. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2017, we recognized $1,590 of compensation expense related to restricted stock or restricted Unit awards granted to our former Chief Executive Officer for which future service was not required.

LTIP Unit Awards

For the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the Company granted to certain employees 179,288 Long-Term Incentive Program ("LTIP") performance units ("LTIP Unit Awards"), which had a fair value of $2,381 on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The LTIP Unit Awards vest based upon the relative total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the weighted average TSRs of the MSCI US REIT Index and the NAREIT Industrial Index over a performance period of three years. Compensation expense is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the performance period. The Operating Partnership issues General Partner Units to the Company in the same amounts for vested LTIP Unit Awards.

Outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Unit Awards and LTIP Unit Awards

We recognized ~~$1,689~~$1,997 and ~~$3,101~~$1,822 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and $3,686 and $4,923 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively, in amortization related to restricted stock or restricted Unit awards and LTIP Unit Awards. Restricted stock or restricted Unit award and LTIP Unit Award amortization capitalized in connection with development activities was not significant. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we had ~~$13,873~~$12,453 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested restricted stock or restricted Unit awards and LTIP Unit Awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is ~~1.14~~1.03 years.

Severance Expense

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we incurred $1,298 of severance costs related to a reduction in personnel as a result of changes in our real estate portfolio. The severance costs are included in general and administrative expense.

10. Derivatives

Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate protection agreements as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate protection agreements designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions whereby a default on any of our indebtedness, could cause us to be declared in default on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds. As of March 31, 2018, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.

Fair Value Hedges

In connection with the originations of the Unsecured Term Loans (see Note 4), we entered into interest rate protection agreements to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate. The four interest rate protection agreements, which fix the variable rate of the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $200,000, mature on January 29, 2021 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 2.29% (the "2014 Swaps"). The six interest rate protection agreements, which fix the variable rate of the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $260,000, mature on September 12, 2022 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% (the "2015 Swaps"). We designated the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps as cash flow hedges.

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.

The following table sets forth our financial assets related to the 2015 Swaps and the 2014 Swaps which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets and which are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018:


			Fair Value Measurements:						Fair Value Measurements:
Description	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)	Fair Value		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Derivatives designated as a hedging instrument:
Assets:
2014 Swaps	$	799	—	$	799	—	$	1,862	—	$	1,862	—
2015 Swaps	$	8,112	—	$	8,112	—	$	9,774	—	$	9,774	—

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. See Note 7 for more information regarding our derivatives.

The estimated fair value of the 2014 Swaps and the 2015 Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective ~~counterparty’s~~counterparty's non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the 2014 Swaps and the 2015 Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

11. Related Party Transactions

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized fees of $36 from the Joint Venture related to asset management services provided to the Joint Venture. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we had a receivable from the Joint Venture of $36 related to this asset management fee. See Note 5 for more information on the Joint Venture.

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership had receivable balances of ~~$10,223~~$10,183 and $10,129, respectively, from a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.

In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial properties. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we had 11five industrial properties totaling approximately ~~4.2~~2.9 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 is approximately ~~$291,000.~~$186,000. Of this amount, approximately ~~$128,500~~$79,100 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated total investment.

13. Subsequent Events

From ~~April~~July 1, 2018 to ~~April~~July 26, 2018, we ~~acquired~~sold one ~~land~~building and one parcel ~~for a purchase price of approximately $3,270, excluding costs and credits incurred in conjunction with the acquisition.~~

On April 3, 2018, we entered into a joint venture arrangement with a third party (the "Joint Venture") for the purpose of acquiring, developing, leasing and operating approximately 532 net developable acres of land located in the Phoenix metropolitan area. Through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, we own a 49% interest in the Joint Venture. On April 3, 2018, the Joint Venture acquired the land for ~~a purchase price of $49,000.~~

approximately $3,359.

General

The Company is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code").

We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate ~~97.1%~~97.7% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through eight other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. Noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately ~~2.9%~~2.3% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units").

We also own a 49% equity interest in, and provide various services to, a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership. The Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Venture is not consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership or the Company as presented herein. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the Joint Venture.

Management's Overview

We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties and access to external capital.

We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to: (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties; (ii) maximize tenant recoveries; and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.

Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing, and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. We seek to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seek to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, which, as discussed above, are sources of funds for our distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.

We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain or loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries. Proceeds from sales are used to repay outstanding debt and, market conditions permitting, may be used to fund the acquisition of existing industrial properties, and the acquisition and development of new industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

We utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to refinance debt and finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and our ability to fund acquisitions and developments. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt, the ~~market’s~~market's perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company's common stock. If we were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

Summary of Significant Transactions During the ~~Three~~Six Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, we completed the following significant real estate transactions and financing activities:

We acquired ~~five~~six industrial properties comprised of approximately ~~0.4~~0.5 million square feet of GLA located in our Orlando, Seattle and ~~one land parcel~~Southern California markets for an aggregate purchase price of ~~approximately $61.0~~$71.7 million, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with ~~the acquisition.~~these acquisitions.

We acquired 242.4 acres of land for development located in our Dallas, Denver, Seattle and Southern California markets for an aggregate purchase price of $26.3 million, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with these acquisitions.

We sold ~~eight~~30 industrial properties comprised of approximately ~~0.5~~1.3 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel for total gross sales proceeds of ~~approximately $42.4~~$98.0 million.

We entered into the Joint Venture with a third party and acquired, for a purchase price of $49.0 million, approximately 532 net developable acres of land located in Phoenix for the purpose of developing, selling, leasing and operating industrial properties.

We issued ~~ten-year,~~ $150.0 million of ten-year private placement notes at a rate of 3.86% and ~~twelve-year,~~ $150.0 million of twelve-year private placement notes at a rate of 3.96%.

We issued 4,800,000 shares of the Company's common stock in an underwritten public offering. Proceeds to the Company, net of the underwriter's discount, were $145.6 million.

We paid off $157.8 million in mortgage loans payable.

We declared a first and second quarter cash dividend of $0.2175 per common share or Unit per quarter, an increase of 3.6% from the 2017 quarterly rate.

Results of Operations

The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2017 and held as an in-service property through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service ~~prior to January 1, 2017 or were substantially completed for the 12 months~~ prior to January 1, 2017. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would drop occupancy below 75%. Acquisitions that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition and developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Acquired properties with occupancy greater than 75% at acquisition, but with tenants that we anticipate will move out in the first year of ownership, will be placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after move out. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2016 and held as an operating property through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2016. (Re)Developments include developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2017; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2017. Other revenues are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous revenues. Other property expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, one industrial property, comprising approximately 0.1 million square feet of GLA, was taken out of service for redevelopment. As a result of taking this industrial property out of service, the results of operations were reclassified from the same store property classification to the re(development) classification.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition, (re)development and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

Our net income was ~~$37.5~~$83.9 million and ~~$23.5~~$62.3 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

^(B)	Straight Line ~~basis~~ basis rent growth is a ratio of the change in net rent (including straight line rent adjustments) on a new or renewal lease compared to the net rent (including straight line rent adjustments) of the comparable lease. New leases where there were no prior comparable leases are excluded.


^(C)	The lease term is expressed in years. Assumes no exercise of lease renewal options, if any.


^(D)	Lease costs are comprised of the costs incurred or capitalized for improvements of vacant and renewal spaces, as well as the commissions paid and costs capitalized for leasing transactions. Lease costs per square foot represent the total turnover costs expected to be incurred on the leases ~~signed~~that commenced during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.


^(E)	Represents the weighted average square feet of tenants renewing their respective leases.

The following table provides a summary of our leases that commenced during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 which included rent concessions during the lease term.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were approximately ~~$19.8~~$61.8 million and ~~$48.6~~$15.7 million, respectively. Restricted cash is comprised of gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties. These sale proceeds will be disbursed as we exchange industrial properties under Section 1031 of the Code. We also had ~~$620.8~~$720.8 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018.

We have considered our short-term (through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We have ~~$73.6~~$73.2 million in mortgage loans payable outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 that we anticipate prepaying (without penalty) prior to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019. We expect to satisfy these payment obligations with borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. With the exception of these payment obligations, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by the Company's Board of Directors. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets. These needs may also be met by the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, ~~or long-term unsecured indebtedness,~~ subject to market conditions and contractual restrictions or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

We expect to meet long-term (after ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2019) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, subject to market conditions.

~~At March 31, 2018, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.83%.~~ As of ~~April~~July 26, 2018, we had approximately ~~$573.8~~$720.8 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants for the remainder of 2018.

Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & ~~Poor’s, Moody’s~~Poor's, Moody's and Fitch Ratings of BBB/Stable, ~~Baa3/Positive~~Baa2/Stable and BBB/Stable, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

Net cash provided by financing activities							76.8			14.8

Changes in cash flow for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, compared to the prior year comparable period are described as follows:

Operating Activities: Cash provided by operating activities decreased ~~$3.1~~$0.1 million for the Company (decreased ~~$3.2~~$0.2 million for the Operating Partnership), primarily due to the following:

Increases in accounts receivable and other prepaid assets as well as decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to timing of cash receipts and cash payments.

Offset by:

Increase in NOI from same store properties, ~~due to an increase in occupancy and rental rates of $2.2 million, an increase in NOI from~~ acquired properties ~~of $1.9 million~~ and ~~an increase in NOI generated from~~ recently developed properties of ~~$0.7~~$9.3 million offset by decreases in NOI due to building disposals of ~~$3.9~~$9.0 million.

Investing Activities: Cash used in investing activities increased ~~$43.4~~$26.5 million, primarily due to the following:

Increase of ~~$34.8~~$49.0 million related to non-acquisition additions and improvements to real estate primarily due to an increase in ~~real estate acquisitions~~development expenditures in 2018; and

Increase of ~~$29.1~~$23.4 million ~~primarily due~~related to ~~more development expenditures~~our net contributions to the Joint Venture in 2018.

Offset by:

Decrease of ~~$21.8~~$38.8 million due to higher proceeds received from the disposition of real estate in ~~2018.~~2018; and

Decrease of $8.8 million of cash required to acquire real estate in 2018 since $11.7 million was financed through an assumption of mortgage debt.

Financing Activities: Cash provided by financing activities increased ~~$63.4~~$61.9 million for the Company (increased ~~$63.5~~$62.0 million for the Operating Partnership), primarily due to the following:

The increase of $100.0 million related to the issuance of Unsecured Private Placement notes in 2018 aggregating to $300.0 million compared to the issuance of Unsecured Private Placement notes in 2017 aggregating to $200.0 million.

The increase of $70.7 million related to the proceeds received from the issuance of common stock in an underwritten public offering during both 2018 and 2017.

The payoff of Senior Unsecured Notes during 2017 in the amount of $101.9 million.

Offset by:

Increase in repayments of Mortgage Loans Payable of ~~$121.3~~$120.5 million; and

Increase in net repayments of Unsecured Credit Facility of ~~$107.0~~$82.0 million.

Increase in Dividend and Unit Distributions of $5.1 million due to the Company raising the dividend rate in 2018.

Market Risk

The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, as described below.

Interest Rate Risk

The following analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments which are held by us at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.

In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, ~~$1,311.8~~$1,310.0 million or ~~92.9%~~100.0% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed ~~rate debt. As of the same date, $100.0 million or 7.1% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable~~ rate debt. At December 31, 2017, $1,160.3 million or 88.9% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $144.5 million or 11.1% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the fixed rate debt amounts include $460.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements with a notional aggregate amount outstanding of $460.0 million, which mitigate our exposure to our ~~unsecured term loans'~~Unsecured Term Loans' variable interest rates, which are based upon LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreements. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.

Our variable rate debt is subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. At March 31, 2018, we had approximately $100.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding indexed to LIBOR rates excluding the $460.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements. If the LIBOR rates relevant to our variable rate debt were to have increased 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 would have increased by approximately ~~$0.05~~$0.07 million based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our fixed rate debt were to have increased by 10% due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately ~~$1.4~~$2.8 million during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately ~~$1,422.1~~$1,320.7 million based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.

Supplemental Earnings Measure

Investors in and industry analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations ("FFO") and net operating income ("NOI") as supplemental operating performance measures of an equity REIT. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time through depreciation. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors prefer to supplement operating results that use historical cost accounting with measures such as FFO and NOI, among others. We provide information related to FFO and same store NOI ("SS NOI") both because such industry analysts are interested in such information, and because our management believes FFO and SS NOI are important performance measures. FFO and SS NOI are factors used by management in measuring our performance, including for purposes of determining the compensation of our executive officers under our 2018 incentive compensation plan.

Neither FFO nor SS NOI should be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor SS NOI represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and neither should be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Funds From Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has recognized and defined for the real estate industry a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance, FFO, that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO is calculated by us in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Management believes that the use of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities, combined with net income (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management believes that, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, impairment of previously depreciated real estate assets and real estate asset depreciation and amortization, investors and analysts are able to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a ~~REIT’s~~REIT's activity and use these operating results for assistance in comparing these operating results between periods or to those of different companies.

The following table shows a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders and participating securities to the calculation of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Same Store Net Operating Income

SS NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides a measure of rental operations and, as calculated by us, that does not factor in depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, interest expense, impairment charges, income tax benefit and expense, gains and losses on retirement of debt and sale of real estate. We define SS NOI as revenues minus property expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses, minus the NOI of properties that are not same store properties and minus the impact of straight-line rent, the amortization of above/below market rent and lease termination fees. As so defined, SS NOI may not be comparable to same store net operating income or similar measures reported by other REITs that define same store properties or NOI differently. The major factors influencing SS NOI are occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases and tenant recoveries increases or decreases. Our success depends largely upon our ability to lease space and to recover the operating costs associated with those leases from our tenants.

The following table shows a reconciliation of the same store revenues and property expenses disclosed in the results of operations (and reconciled to revenues and expenses reflected on the statements of operations) to SS NOI for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Item 1A.	Risk Factors

~~The following risk factors reflect certain modifications of, or additions~~There have been no material changes to the risk factors ~~contained~~disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2017, except to the extent factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors, or as otherwise disclosed in the Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For a full description of these risk factors, please refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~

~~We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business~~

~~disruptions.~~

We rely extensively on computer systems to manage our business, and our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks and security breaches. These could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems through malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons inside our Company or persons with access to systems inside our Company, and other significant disruptions of our information technology networks and related systems.

The risk of a cybersecurity breach or disruption, particularly through a cyber incident, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Although we employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, which include password protection, frequent password change events, firewall detection systems, frequent backups, a redundant data system for core applications and annual penetration testing, even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target,2017 and in some cases are designed to not be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk.

~~Moreover, although we maintain some of~~ our ~~own critical information technology systems, we also depend~~quarterly report on third parties to provide important information technology services relating to, for instance, payroll, electronic communications and certain finance functions. The security measures employed by such third party service providers may prove to be ineffective at preventing breaches of their systems.

~~A successful cybersecurity attack could, among other things:~~

~~compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants and vendors;~~

~~disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems, and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our tenants;~~

~~result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants~~Form 10-Q for the ~~efficient use of their leased space;~~

result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;

~~result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants and/or missed reporting deadlines;~~

~~result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;~~

~~require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;~~

~~subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or~~

~~damage our reputation among our tenants, investors and associates.~~three months ended March 31, 2018.

~~We could be subject to risks and liabilities in connection with joint venture arrangements.~~

Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures. We have in the past and may in the future selectively acquire, own and/or develop properties through joint ventures with other persons or entities when we deem such transactions are warranted by the circumstances. Joint venture investments, in general, involve certain risks not present where we act alone, including:

joint venturers may share certain approval rights over major decisions, which might (i) significantly delay or make impossible actions and decisions we believe are necessary or advisable with respect to properties owned through a joint venture, and/or (ii) adversely affect our ability to develop, finance, lease or sell properties owned through a joint venture at the most advantageous time for us, if at all;

~~joint venturers might become bankrupt or otherwise fail to fund their share of any required capital contributions;~~

joint venturers might have economic or other business interests or goals that are competitive or inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to develop, finance, lease, operate, manage or sell any properties owned by the applicable joint venture;

joint venturers may have the power to act contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including our current policy with respect to maintaining the Company's qualification as a REIT;

joint venture agreements often restrict the transfer of a member’s or joint venturer’s interest or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell our interest when we would like to or on advantageous terms;

disputes between us and our joint venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and subject the properties owned by the applicable joint venture to additional risk; and

~~we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our joint venturers.~~

The occurrence of one or more of the events described above could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.
