City Office REIT, Inc.
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Description of Business

City Office REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to City Office REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“common units”).

The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s percentage ownership of common units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.

The Company has elected to be taxed and will continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct dividend distributions paid to its stockholders, eliminating the U.S. federal taxation of income represented by such distributions at the Company level. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and, for tax years beginning before 2018, any applicable alternative minimum tax.

In February 2016,March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or FASB, established Topic 842, Leases,848, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, by issuing Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)
No. 2016-02, which requires lessors to classify leases as a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease2020-04.
ASU

provides companies with optional expedients and requires lessees to recognize leaseson-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASUNo. 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASUNo. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASUNo. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements.

The Company adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019 and elected the effective date method for the transition. The Company elected the following practical expedients:

Transition method practical expedient – permits the Company to use the effective date as the date of initial application. Upon adoption, the Company did not have a cumulative-effect adjustmentexceptions to the opening balance of retained earnings.

Companies can also elect various optional expedients – permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. This allowed the Companythat would allow them to continue classifying its leases at transition in substantially the same manner.

Single component practical expedient – permits the Company to not separate lease andnon-lease components of leases. Upon transition, rental income, expense reimbursement, and other were aggregated into a single line within rental and other revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Land easement practical expedient – permits the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about land easements.

Short-term lease practical expedient – permits the Company not to recognize leases with a term equal to or less than 12 months.

On April 10, 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued aright-of-use asset Staff Q&A to respond to some frequently asked questions about accounting for rent relief related to the effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic. Consequently, for rent relief related to the effects of the
COVID-19
pandemic, an entity will not be required to analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and lease liability on the balance sheetobligations for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating at inception, with classification affecting the pattern and recording of expensesabatements exist in the statementcontract and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance to those contracts. Entities may make the elections for any lessor-provided rent relief related to the effects of operations. Upon transitionthe

To date, the Company recognizedright-of use assetsgranted rent relief to certain tenants, most often in the form of a rent deferral or rent abatement. For rent relief granted that did not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee, the Company elected to not apply the lease modification guidance and instead account for the rent relief as though the enforceable rights and obligations for the relief existed in the original contract. For rent relief granted that resulted in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee, the Company applied the lease liabilities principally for its ground and office leases.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Inputs – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 Inputs – unobservable inputs

As

In September 2019, the Company entered into a five-year Interest Rate Swap for a notional amount of each$50.0 million. Pursuant to the Interest Rate Swap, the Company will pay a fixed rate of approximately 1.27% of the notional amount annually, payable monthly, and receive floating rate
30-day
LIBOR payments. Accordingly, the fair value of the Interest Rate Swap has been classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement.
The Interest Rate Swap has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge and has been recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
As of June 30, 2019 and2020, the Interest Rate Swap was reported as a liability at its fair value of approximately $2.3 million, which is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 the amount of realized losses reclassified to interest expense due to payments received by the swap counterparty were nominal.
As of December 31, 2018,2019, the Company did not have any hedges or derivatives.

Interest Rate Swap was reported as an asset at its fair value of approximately $0.7 million, which is included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Rents Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

The Company estimates that the fair value approximates carrying value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its fixed rate mortgage loan payable based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments was $580.7$582.0 million and $503.3$576.9 million as of June 30, 20192020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. Accordingly, the fair value of mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

7. Related Party Transactions

Administrative Services Agreement

For the six months ended June 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, the Company earned $0.3$0.2 million and $0.4 $0.3 
million, respectively, in administrative services performed for Second City Real Estate II Corporation and its affiliates (collectively, “Second(“Second City”). Also during the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company was assigned a purchase contract which had been entered into by an entity affiliated with principals of Second City, which principals are also officers

The Company subsequently assigned the purchase contract to a third party during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company paid no consideration to the related party for the contract other than return of deposits which the Company subsequently recovered from a third party in addition to an assignment fee. The Company recognized income of $2.6
$
2.6
 million on the assignment of the purchase contract to the third party, which was recorded in rental and other revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

8. Leases

Lessor Accounting

The Company is focused on acquiring, owning and operating high-quality office properties for lease to a stable and diverse tenant base. Our properties have both full-service gross and net leases which are generally classified as operating leases. Rental income related to such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The Company’s total revenue includes fixed base rental payments provided under the lease and variable payments which principally consist of tenant expense reimbursements for certain property operating expenses.
The Company electedrecognized fixed and variable lease payments for the practical expedient to account for its leasethree andnon-lease components as a single combined operating lease component under the new leasing standard. As a result, rental income, expense reimbursement, six months ended June 30, 2020 and other were aggregated into a single line within rental and other revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 the Company recognized $38.5 million and $75.6 million, respectively, of rental and other revenue related to its operating leasesas follows (in thousands):

The Company’s leases may include various provisions such as scheduled rent increases, renewal options and termination options. The majority of the Company’s leases include defined rent increase rather than variable payments based on an index or unknown rate. Seven state government tenants currently have the exercisable right to terminate their leases if the applicable state legislature does not appropriate rent in its annual budget. The Company has determined that the occurrence of any government tenant not being appropriated the rent in the applicable annual budget is a remote contingency and accordingly recognizes lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. These tenants represent approximately 8.2% of the Company’s total future minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2019.

Lessee Accounting

As a lessee, the Company has ground and office leases which are classified as operating leases and one office lease classified as a financing lease. Upon adoption of Topic 842, on January 1, 2019, the Company recognizedright-of-use assets of $9.2 million and lease liabilities of $7.2 million. The difference between the recordedright-of-use assets and lease liabilities is mainly due to the reclassification of the below market ground lease intangible asset, which was included within theright-of-use assets recognized upon transition.leases. As of June 30, 2019,2020, these leases had remaining terms of 2 to 7068 years and a weighted average remaining lease term of 56 years. Operating and financing

Lease liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. One of the Company’s operating ground leases includes rental payment increases over the lease term based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Changes in the CPI were not estimated as part of the measurement of the operating lease liability. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of 6.31%6.3% in determining its lease liabilities. The discount rates were derived from the Company’s assessment of the credit quality of the Company and adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments.

Right-of-use
assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.

The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such

non-compliance,
liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.

The Company is involved from time to time in lawsuits and other disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2019,2020, management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Plan
On March 9, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. Under the share repurchase program, the shares may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements.
Repurchased shares of common stock will be classified as authorized and unissued shares. The Company recognizes the cost of shares of common stock it repurchases, including direct costs incurred, as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. Such reductions of stockholders equity due to the repurchases of shares of common stock will be applied first, to reduce common stock in the amount of the par value associated with the shares of common stock repurchased and second, to reduce additional
paid-in
capital by the amount that the purchase price for the shares of common stock repurchased exceed the par value.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company completed the repurchase of 10,249,655 shares of its common stock for approximately $89.3 million. There were 0 shares repurchased during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Equity Incentive Plan
The Company has an equity incentive plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”) for executive officers, directors and certain
non-executive
employees, and with approval of the Board of Directors, for subsidiaries and their respective affiliates. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted common stock, restricted stock units, phantom shares, stock options, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards (including LTIP Units), subject to the total number of shares available for issuance under the plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Plan Administrator”).

On May 2, 2019, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan from 1,263,580 shares to 2,263,580 shares. To the extent an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards.

On January 27, 2020, each of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved a new form of performance-based restricted unit award agreement (the “Performance RSU Award Agreement”) that will be used to grant performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“Performance RSU Awards”) pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. The Performance RSU Awards are based upon the total stockholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock over a three-year measurement period beginning January 1, 2020 and ending on December 31, 2022 (the “Measurement Period”) relative to the TSR of the companies in the SNL US REIT Office index as of January 2, 2020 (the “2020 RSU Peer Group”). The payouts under the Performance RSU Awards are evaluated on a sliding scale as follows: TSR below the 30th percentile of the 2020 RSU Peer Group would result in a 50% payout; TSR at the 50th percentile of the 2020 RSU Peer Group would result in a 100% payout; and TSR at or above the 75th percentile of the 2020 RSU Peer Group would result in a 150% payout. Payouts are mathematically interpolated between these stated percentile targets, subject to a 150% maximum. To the extent earned, the payouts of the Performance RSU Awards are intended to be settled in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. Upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions, dividend equivalents in an amount equal to all regular and special dividends declared with respect to the Company’s common stock during each annual measurement period during the Measurement Period are determined and paid on a cumulative, reinvested basis over the term of the applicable Performance RSU Award, at the time such award vests and based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are earned.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, 162,5002020, 147,050 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were granted to executive officers, directors and certain
non-executive
employees with a fair value of $1.8$2.0 million. The RSU awards will vest in three equal, annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized net compensation expense of $0.5 and $1.0 million, respectively, related to the RSUs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized net compensation expense of $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to the RSUs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, 97,500 Performance RSU Awards were granted to executive officers with a fair value of
$1.3 million. The Performance RSU Awards will vest on the last day of the three-year measurement period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. For the three and six months ended June 30, 20182020, the Company recognized net compensation expense of $0.3$0.1 million and $0.7$0.2 million, respectively, related to the RSUs.

Subsequent to receivequarter end through August 3, 2020, the Company settled on the repurchase of 1,114,196 shares of the Company’sits common stock in the future, after the applicable vesting criteria, determined by the Plan Administrator, has been satisfied. The holder of an award of RSU has no rights as a stockholder until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of vested RSUs. The Plan Administrator may provide for a grant of dividend equivalent rights in connection with the grant of RSU; provided, however, that if the RSUs do not vest solely upon satisfaction of continued employment or service, any payment in respect to the related dividend equivalent rights will be held byapproximately $10.7 million.

Overview

Company

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 26, 2013. On April April��21, 2014, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of common stock. We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership. Both we and our Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions.

Revenue Base

As of June 30, 2019,2020, we owned 2725 properties comprised of 65 office buildings with a total of approximately 5.75.8 million square feet of net rentable area (“NRA”). As of June 30, 2019,2020, our properties were approximately 93.4%91.9% leased.

18

Office Leases

Historically, most leases for our properties were on a full-service gross or net lease basis, and we expect to continue to use such leases in the future. A full-service gross lease generally has a base year expense “stop”, whereby we pay a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating expenses are billed to the tenant based on such tenant’s proportionate square footage in the property. The property operating expenses are reflected in operating expenses; however, only the increased property operating expenses above the base year stop recovered from tenants are reflected as tenant recoveries in our statements of operations. In a triple net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all property taxes and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not include any operating expenses, but rather all such expenses are

billed to or paid by the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type is reflected in operating expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected in tenant recoveries. All tenants in ourthe Lake Vista Pointe, FRP Ingenuity Drive,2525 McKinnon, Sorrento Mesa and Canyon Park properties have triple net leases. Certain tenants at AmberGlen, Cherry Creek, Superior Pointe, FRP Collection, 2525 McKinnon,Florida Research Park, Circle Point, The Quad, and Cascade Station and Denver Tech have leases on a triple net basis. We are also a lessor for a fee simple ground lease at the AmberGlen property. All of our remaining leases are full-service gross leases.

Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition

COVID-19
During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the
COVID-19
outbreak a pandemic. There have been mandates from international, federal, state and local authorities requiring forced closures of businesses and other facilities, and most of the markets in which our buildings are located are subject to some form of ongoing pandemic-related restrictions. These forced closures and restrictions have had a material adverse effect on the global economy and the regional U.S. economies in which we operate, including negatively impacting some of our tenants’ ability to pay their rent.
All of our buildings are open and continue to operate. We have adopted new policies and procedures to incorporate best practices for the safety of our tenants, our vendors and our employees. However, the usage of our assets in the second quarter 2020 was significantly lower than normal. Usage of our assets for the remainder of 2020 depends on the duration of the pandemic and pace of economic
re-opening,
which is impossible to estimate.
We continue to closely monitor the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies. While we did not experience any significant disruptions during the six months ended June 30, 2020, as a result of
COVID-19
or governmental or tenant actions in response thereto, the Company granted rent relief to nine tenants comprising approximately 1.0% of the Company’s NRA, most often in the form of a rent deferral or rent abatement. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, the Company granted rent relief to one additional tenant and also granted additional rent abatements to three tenants who previously received relief, which combined comprises approximately 0.1% of the Company’s NRA. Although the rent deferrals and rent abatements granted to date did not have a material impact on our net rental revenue, the long-term impact of the pandemic on our tenants and the world-wide economy is uncertain and impossible to estimate, and will depend on the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic.
We believe that some of the industries most impacted by
COVID-19
are coworking, retail, restaurant and café, travel and accommodation, live event related and energy. We generally have limited exposure to these industries, with these sectors comprising approximately 3% of our portfolio by square footage. However, the impact of
COVID-19
extends to all sectors of the U.S. economy and as such, we expect that tenants outside of these select industries will also face significant challenges. Rating agencies have downgraded the credit rating and outlook of many businesses, including one of our ten largest tenants.
Through August 3, 2020, we have collected over 99% of contractually required base rents from our tenants for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and granted rent relief for another approximately 0.6% of contractually required base rents from our tenants for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The rate of collections in future months may be lower, as the length of the economic downturn continues to impact tenants. We have developed dedicated teams and processes to evaluate
non-payments
and rent relief requests. We evaluate each
19

tenant rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests ultimately result in modification agreements, nor are we foregoing our contractual rights under our lease agreements. We believe many of these requests received were from tenants who had the ability to pay rent at the time and were seeking opportunistic deferral opportunities. We continue to work efficiently to find tailored resolutions in each case where warranted, including potential deferrals of rent, lease term extensions with short term rent relief, temporary percentage rent opportunities, or, in limited circumstances, rent abatement particularly when the tenant is viewed as an amenity to the building. We may incur additional losses in future periods due to tenants that default on their leases, file for bankruptcy and/or otherwise experience significant financial difficulty as a result of the duration of the
COVID-19
pandemic, but the extent of those losses is impossible to predict given the fluidity of the pandemic and its uncertain impact on economic activity.
Leasing activity has been and we believe it will continue to be impacted by
COVID-19.
We expect that we will experience slower than originally anticipated speculative new leasing and there remains uncertainty over existing tenants’ long-term space requirements. Overall, this would reduce our anticipated rental revenues. Because construction activities have generally been classified as essential activities throughout our markets during the pandemic, we do not currently expect meaningful delays in customers taking occupancy under recently signed leases.
Strategically, we have made adjustments to our business operations as a result of
COVID-19.
We have ceased acquisition activities, allocated capital towards our share repurchase program and adjusted our common stock dividend which will allow us to operate with lower leverage and higher levels of liquidity than previously planned. For a discussion of the impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic on our liquidity and balance sheet, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
The situation surrounding
COVID-19
remains fluid and we will continue to monitor and actively manage our response in collaboration with tenants, government officials and other third parties to optimally position the Company.
Business and Strategy

We focus on owning and acquiring office properties in our target markets. Our target markets generally possess what we believe are favorable economic growth trends, growing populations with above-average employment growth forecasts, a large number of government offices, large international, national and regional employers across diversified industries, are generally
low-cost
centers for business operations, and exhibit favorable occupancy trends. We utilize our management’s market-specific knowledge and relationships as well as the expertise of local real estate operators and our investment partners to identify acquisition opportunities that we believe will offer cash flow stability and long-term value appreciation. Our target markets are attractive, among other reasons, because we believe that ownership is often concentrated among local real estate operators that typically do not benefit from the same access to capital as public REITs and there is a relatively low level of participation of large institutional investors. We believe that these factors result in attractive pricing levels and risk-adjusted returns.

Although there have been higher

COVID-19
cases in some of our markets, particularly in the southern and western United States, the long-term impact of the pandemic on these markets is uncertain and impossible to estimate, and will depend on the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic.
Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries

The amount of net rental revenue generated by our properties will depend principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that becomes available from lease terminations. The amount of rental revenue generated also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. We believe that the average rental rates for our portfolio of properties are generally
in-line
or slightly below the current average quoted market rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our markets or submarkets or downturns in our tenants’ industries, including as a result of the
COVID-19
pandemic, that impair our ability to renew or
re-let
space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. In addition, growth in rental revenue will also partially depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses generally consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, insurance and site maintenance costs. Increases in these expenses over tenants’ base years (until the base year is reset at expiration) are generally passed along to tenants in our full-service gross leased properties and are generally paid in full by tenants in our net leased properties.

Conditions in Our Markets

Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions in the markets we operate in, including state budgetary shortfalls, employment rates, natural hazards and other factors, may impact our overall performance.

In addition, the recent

COVID-19
pandemic has caused significant disruption in global financial markets and economies. This global disruption could have a material impact on the markets in which we operate, our tenants and our ability to successfully execute our business strategy. The extent to which
COVID-19
will impact the Company is highly uncertain and is not reasonably estimable at this time. Refer to “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Report for further information.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 20192020 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2018

2019

Rental and Other Revenues.
Revenue includes net rental income, including parking, signage and other income, as well as the recovery of operating costs and property taxes from tenants. Rental and other revenues increased $11.0decreased $1.6 million, or 36%4%, to $39.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $41.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $30.2 million for2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2018. Of this increase, $2.1 million was from the acquisition of Circle Point in July 2018, $1.4 million was from the acquisition of The Quad in July 2018, $1.2 million was from the acquisition of Greenwood Blvd in December 2018, $1.2 million was from the acquisition of Camelback Square in December 2018, $1.4 million was from the acquisition of Canyon Park in February 2019, and $0.2 million was from the acquisition of Cascade Station in June 2019. Revenue from Central Fairwinds, Park Tower, Mission City and FRP Collection also increased by $0.1 million, $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, as a result of increased average occupancy over the prior-year period. Partially offsetting these increases, Plaza 25 decreased by $0.7 million due to the sale of the property in February 2019. The remaining properties’ revenues were modestly higher in comparison to the prior-year period primarily as a result of modestmark-to-market increases in rents upon renewal. Otherother revenues benefited from a

Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, proceeds from our public offerings, including under our at the market issuance program, and borrowings under our mortgage loans and our Unsecured Credit Facility.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and

non-recurring
capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and
non-recurring
capital improvements using our Unsecured Credit Facility pending longer term financing.

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

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019,2020, we had a $5.3$7.0 million letter of credit outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility to satisfy escrow requirements for a mortgage lender.

Inflation

Substantially all of our office leases provide for real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by these contractual rent increases and expense escalations.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We have used, and will use, derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge interest rate risks related to borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors. We have entered, and we will only enter into, contracts with majorSee Note 6 to our consolidated financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. Asstatements in Item 1 of June 30, 2019,this Report for more information regarding our Company did not have any outstanding derivatives.

The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We consider our interest rate exposure to be minimal, because as of June 30, 2019,2020, approximately $565.0$559.2 million, or 79.0%78.8%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $150.0$150 million, or 21.0%21.2%, had variable interest rates. Of the $150 million variable rate debt, $50 million relates to the Term Loan against which we have applied the Interest Rate Swap. The Interest Rate Swap effectively fixes the
30-day
LIBOR rate at approximately 1.27% until maturity of the Term Loan. When factoring in the Term Loan as fixed rate debt through the Interest Rate Swap, approximately 85.9% of our debt was fixed rate debt and 14.1% was variable rate debt as of June 30, 2020. A

10% increase in LIBOR would result in a nominal increase to our annual interest costs by approximately $0.4 million on debt outstanding as of June 30, 2019,2020, and would decrease the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as increase interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. A 10% decrease in LIBOR would result in a nominal decrease to our annual interest costs by approximately $0.4 million on debt outstanding as of June 30, 2019,2020 and would increase the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as decrease interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

Interest rate risk amounts are our management’s estimates based on our Company’s capital structure and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. We may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our Company’s financial structure.

In addition, the uncertainty that exists with respect to the economic impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic introduced significant volatility in global financial markets and economies during and subsequent to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The long-term impacts of such volatility on the Company are uncertain and impossible to estimate, and will depend on the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic.

Our commitments

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus
(“COVID-19”),
and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to Second City Real Estate II Corporation (“Second City”), Clarity Real Estate III GP, Limited Partnership (“Clarity RE”), Clarity Real Estate Ventures GP, Limited Partnership (together with Clarity RE, “Clarity”),pay dividends and their respective affiliates may give rise to various conflicts of interest.

We are subject to conflicts of interest arising outthe per share market price of our relationshipcommon stock or preferred stock.

Since being reported in December 2019,
COVID-19
has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared
COVID-19
a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with Second Cityrespect to
COVID-19.
Since that time, the global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, Clarity.as cases of
COVID-19
have continued to be identified in additional countries, many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel.
The
COVID-19
pandemic has had, and a future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases could have, repercussions across regional and global financial markets and economies. The outbreak of
COVID-19
in many countries, including the United States, has adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility in financial markets.
Certain states and cities, including where we own properties and where our principal place of business is located, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel,
“stay-at-home”
rules and restrictions on the types of businesses that may continue to operate. The Company cannot predict if additional states and cities will implement similar restrictions, whether or how the nature of these restrictions may evolve or when restrictions currently in place or modified restrictions in the future will expire. As a result, the
COVID-19
pandemic is negatively impacting many industries and governmental operations directly or indirectly, including the industries in which the Company and our tenants operate. A number of our tenants have announced temporary closures of their offices and other operations, and requested rent deferral or rent abatements during this pandemic. In addition, many of our employees in our principal offices are currently working remotely. The effects of an extended period of remote work arrangements, could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. To date, we have provided temporary relief to certain tenants in the form of rent deferral and rent abatements, the financial impacts of which have been immaterial to the Company. However, it is impossible to predict the extent to which future requests from tenants for rent deferrals, rent abatements or relief from other contractual obligations, or a failure to pay rent, as a result of changes in business behavior stemming from the ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic or otherwise, may impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
The
COVID-19
pandemic, or a future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could also have adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to pay dividends and the per share market price of our common stock or preferred stock, among other factors:
a complete or partial closure of, decline or cessation in the usage of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action;
28

the reduced economic activity severely impacts our tenants’ businesses, financial condition, liquidity and creditworthiness, which may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, seek modifications of such obligations or exercise early termination rights;
a decrease in the usage of our properties or the demand for office space, or the Company’s ability to maintain or increase rents, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio;
difficulty accessing sources of capital on attractive terms, or at all, impacts to our credit ratings, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to debt or equity capital necessary to fund future capital needs (including redevelopment, acquisition, expansion and renovation activities, payments of principal and interest on and the refinancing of our existing debt, tenant improvements and leasing costs) or refinancings on a timely basis and our tenants’ ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us;
the financial impact of the
COVID-19
pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our Unsecured Credit Facility, including the Term Loan, and other debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, which
non-compliance
could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings and pay dividends on our common stock or preferred stock;
any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets which could be recorded as a result of a weaker economic conditions;
a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions could adversely affect our ability or desire to grow our portfolio of properties due to a lack of suitable acquisition opportunities;
a general decline in the attractiveness of our properties due to changes in the demand for office space, which may adversely impact our ability to consummate pending or future dispositions on terms that allow us to recover expected carrying values of a real estate investment; and
the potential negative impact on the health of a significant number of our employees could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity or maintain adequate disclosure reporting or internal controls through the duration of this disruption.
The extent to which the
COVID-19
pandemic impacts our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow, and those of our tenants, will depend on future developments, which continue to be highly uncertain and are not reasonably estimable, including the scope, severity and duration of the internalizationpandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. In addition,
non-payment
of rent or early lease terminations by our tenants could reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to pay dividends to the holders of our former external advisor on February 1, 2016, we agreed to allow our management to continue to provide services to Second City under the terms of an administrative services agreement. In addition, the terms of the administrative services agreementcommon stock and the employment agreements we entered into with each of our executive officers permit, under certain circumstances and subject to the oversight of our Board of Directors, our executive officers to advise or oversee new or additional funds in the future. On July 31, 2019, we, through an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a separate administrative services agreement with Clarity to provide administrative services to Clarity similar to those provided to Second City. These arrangements with Second City and Clarity may create potential conflicts of interests, including competition for the time and services of personnel that work for us and our affiliates

preferred stock.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On March 9, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase plan authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $100 million of its outstanding shares of common stock. Under the share repurchase program, the shares may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and other applicable legal requirements.
Repurchased shares of common stock will be classified as authorized and unissued shares. The Company recognizes the cost of shares of common stock it repurchases, including direct costs incurred, as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. Such reductions of stockholders equity due to the repurchases of shares of common stock repurchased will be applied first, to reduce common stock in the amount of the par value associated with the shares of common stock repurchased and second, to reduce additional
paid-in
capital by the amount that the purchase price for the shares of common stock repurchased exceed the par value.
