Operating Leases
The Company’s office properties are leased to tenants under operating leases for which the terms and expirations vary. As of December 31, 2019, the leases had remaining terms, excluding options to extend, of up to 8.7 years with a weighted-average remaining term of 3.3 years. Some of the leases may have provisions to extend the term of the lease, options for early termination for all or a part of the leased premises after paying a specified penalty and other terms and conditions as negotiated. The Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants. Generally, upon the execution of a lease, the Company requires a security deposit from the tenant in the form of a cash deposit and/or a letter of credit. The amount required as a security deposit varies depending upon the terms of the respective lease and the creditworthiness of the tenant, but generally is not a significant amount. Therefore, exposure to credit risk exists to the extent that a receivable from a tenant exceeds the amount of its security deposit. Security deposits received in cash related to office tenant leases are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and totaled $1.1 million and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized deferred rent from tenants of $0.6 million, $1.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, net of lease incentive amortization.

The cumulative deferred rent balance included $0.2 million of unamortized lease incentives as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Geographic Concentration Risk
As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s real estate investments in California represented 56.2% of the Company’s total assets. As a result, the geographic concentration of the Company’s portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic developments in the California real estate market. Any adverse economic or real estate developments in this market, such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, changing demographics and other factors, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the local business climate, could adversely affect the Company’s operating results and its ability to make distributions to stockholders.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company disposed of one office building and there were no dispositions during the year ended December 31, 2018.
On November 4, 2019, the Company, through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, sold 2200 Paseo Verde to a purchaser unaffiliated with the Company or the Advisor for a sales price, net of closing credits of $18.7 million, excluding closing costs.
