Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding our condensed consolidated financial statements. Such condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are the representations of our management, who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP, in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

To better present our real estate related balances, we have chosen to break out the details of real estate investments (net) in our balance sheet as opposed to disclosing the details in a footnote. In addition, we have reclassified certain accounts, as further discussed below, in HTA’s previously issued balance sheet to conform to current period presentation. In place leases and tenant relationship intangibles are now included in real estate investments (net) as lease intangibles. In addition, accounts and other receivables (net) have been combined with receivables and other assets (net). None of the revised reclassifications reflect corrections of any amounts. The following table presents the previously reported balances of and the reclassified balances for the impacted line items of the December 31, 2012 balance sheet (in thousands):

Real Estate Depreciation

Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, was $18.9 million and $17.8 million, respectively. Depreciation expense of buildings and improvements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, was $55.5 million and $53.0 million, respectively.

Listing Expenses

Listing expenses primarily include fees associated with the Listing and share-based compensation expense associated with the long term incentive program, or LTIP, awards that we granted in connection with the Listing.

Noncontrolling Interests

HTA’s net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in its accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations relate to both noncontrolling interest reflected within equity and redeemable noncontrolling interest of limited partners reflected outside of equity in our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Limited partner units in HTALP are accounted for as partners’ capital in HTALP’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and as noncontrolling interest reflected within equity or redeemable noncontrolling interest of limited partners reflected outside of equity in HTA’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interim Unaudited Financial Data

Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with GAAP in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in our opinion, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year; such results may be less favorable for the full year. Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for HTA and the Registration Statement on Form S-4 for HTALP, as amended, that was declared effective by the SEC on October 22, 2013 (File No. 333-190916).

Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or the FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, or ASU 2013-01, which clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2013-01 requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. Entities are required to apply these disclosures for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity must provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. We adopted ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and have reflected the adoption in our disclosures to our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
