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 in the Operating Partnership. Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”).

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 partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.

City Office REIT, Inc. Predecessor (the “Predecessor”) represents the combination of the six properties outlined below (the “Properties”). The Predecessor does not represent a legal entity. The Predecessor and its related assets and liabilities are under common control and were contributed to a newly formed Operating Partnership in connection with the “IPO” of the Company on April 21, 2014.

The historical financial results in these financial statements for periods prior to April 21, 2014 relate to the Predecessor. The Predecessor is comprised of the following properties:

• City Center: Property in St. Petersburg, Florida, acquired in December 2010.

• Central Fairwinds: Property in Orlando, Florida, acquired in May 2012.

• AmberGlen: Property in Portland, Oregon, acquired in December 2009.

• Washington Group Plaza: Property in downtown Boise, Idaho, acquired in June 2013.

• Corporate Parkway: Property in Allentown, Pennsylvania, acquired in May 2013.

• Cherry Creek: Property in Denver, Colorado, acquired in January 2014.

The Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2014. Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct 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 income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). An EGC may choose to take advantage of the extended private company transition period provided for complying with new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company has elected to opt out of such extended transition period. This election is irrevocable.

Initial Public Offering and Formation Transactions

The Company’s operations will be carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”).

On April 21, 2014, the Company closed the IPO, pursuant to which it sold 5,800,000 shares of common stock to the public at a public offering price of $12.50 per share. The Company raised $72.5 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $63.4 million after deducting approximately $5.1 million in underwriting discounts and approximately $4.0 million in other expenses relating to the IPO. On May 9, 2014, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 782,150 shares of the Company’s common stock at the IPO price of $12.50 a share resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $9.8 million. The net proceeds to the Company were $9.1 million after deducting approximately $0.7 million in underwriting discounts. The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CIO” on April 15, 2014.

5

The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership utilized a portion of the net proceeds of the IPO to pay fees in connection with the assumption of the indebtedness, pay expenses incurred in connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions and repay loans that were made to several of the contributing entities by certain investors in such entities. The remaining funds are expected to be used for general working capital purposes and to fund potential future acquisitions.

Pursuant to the Formation Transactions and exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, the Operating Partnership acquired a 100% interest in each of the Washington Group Plaza, Cherry Creek and Corporate Parkway properties and acquired an approximate 76% economic interest in the AmberGlen property, 90% interest in the Central Fairwinds property and 95% interest in the City Center property. These initial property interests were contributed in exchange for 3,731,209 common units, 1,610,765 common stock and $19.4 million of cash. On May 9, 2014, subsequent to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, 479,305 common units and 248,095 common stock were redeemed for $9.1 million in cash.

In connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, extinguished the loan on the Central Fairwinds property and completed a refinancing of three properties (Cherry Creek, City Center and Corporate Parkway) with a new $95 million non-recourse mortgage loan and proceeds from the IPO. The loan bears a fixed interest rate of 4.34% and matures on May 6, 2021.

The following is a summary of the Predecessor Statement of Operations for the period from April 1, 2014 through April 20, 2014 and for the period from January 1, 2014 through April 20, 2014, and the Company’s Statement of Operations for the period from April 21, 2014 through June 30, 2014. These amounts are included in the condensed consolidated and combined statement of operations herein for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. All balances as of December 31, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are those of the Predecessor.

Due to their common control, the financial statements of the separate entities which own the properties are presented on a combined basis. The accompanying condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on combination.

The information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned condensed consolidated and combined financial statements for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and follow the same policies and procedures as outlined in the audited combined financial statements of the Predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s final prospectus dated April 14, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Such estimates are based on management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

Offering Costs

Costs related to the IPO and Formation Transactions paid by the Company’s Predecessor were reimbursed from the proceeds of the IPO.

Income Taxes

The Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2014. To qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute dividends equal to at least 90% of the REIT taxable income (computed without regards to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains) to its stockholders, and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to matters such as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. 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 any applicable alternative minimum tax. In addition, the Company may not be able to re-elect as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years.

For periods prior to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions on April 21, 2014, no provision was made for U.S. federal, state or local income taxes because profits and losses of the Predecessor flowed through to its respective partners, members and shareholders who were individually responsible for reporting such amounts.

For periods subsequent to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) are subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes to the extent there is taxable income.

Noncontrolling Interests

Upon completion of the IPO and Formation Transactions and exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, the Operating Partnership issued 3,251,904 common units of limited partnership interest to the Predecessor’s prior investors as partial consideration for the contribution of their interest in the Predecessor to the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interest in the Company represents common units of the Operating Partnership held by the Predecessor’s prior investors.

7

As of June 30, 2014, the Company held a 71.6% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

Dividends

On May 12, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared an initial, prorated cash dividend of $0.183 per share for the quarterly period from April 21, 2014 through June 30, 2014, which is equivalent to a full quarterly dividend of $0.235. The dividend was payable on July 17, 2014 to stockholders and common unitholders of record on July 3, 2014. The $1.5 million in dividends to stockholders and $0.6 million to common unitholders, totaling $2.1 million.

Equity Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation, including shares of restricted stock units, in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize an expense for the fair value of equity-based awards. The estimated fair value of restricted stock units is amortized over their respective vesting periods. See note 11 for further details.

Earnings per Share

The Company calculates net income per share based upon the weighted average shares outstanding during the period beginning April 21, 2014. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. There were 3,251,904 potentially dilutive shares outstanding related to the issuance of common units held by noncontrolling interests during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. However, the shares were excluded from the computation of diluted shares as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, the number of diluted outstanding shares was treated equal to the number of outstanding shares.

3. Real Estate Investments

Total	$	155,002,462	$	109,916,430

All interest rates are fixed interest rates with the exception of the revolving credit facility as explained in footnote 1 below.

⁽¹⁾  The Revolving Credit Facility currently has $30 million authorized with $26.4 million available immediately. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility has an accordion feature that will permit us to borrow up to $150 million, subject to additional collateral availability and lender approval. The revolving credit facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75% and requires the company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.60x.

⁽²⁾  As of June 30, 2014, the 3 Month LIBOR rate was 0.27%.

⁽³⁾  Following the Formation Transactions, on April 29, 2014, we entered into a new mortgage loan in relation to the AmberGlen property for $25.4 million. The loan bears an interest rate of 4.38% and matures on May 1, 2019. The Company is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $25 million and a minimum liquidity of $2 million.

⁽⁴⁾  The loan is cross-collateralized by Corporate Parkway, Cherry Creek and City Center. Interest only until February 2016 then interest payable monthly plus principal based on 360 months of amortization. The loan bears a fixed interest rate of 4.34% and matures on May 6, 2021.

⁽⁵⁾  Interest payable monthly plus principal based on 360 months of amortization.

10

⁽⁶⁾ Interest payable monthly plus monthly principal payment of $20,000. This loan was extinguished on April 21, 2014 in relation to the Formation Transaction.

⁽⁷⁾  Interest only payable monthly, principal due on maturity. This loan was extinguished on April 21, 2014 in relation to the Formation Transactions.

⁽⁸⁾ This Amberglen loan was refinanced on April 29, 2014 with the new Amberglen Loan discussed in footnote (3) above.

On June 13, 2014, in connection with the addition of Plaza 25 as an additional collateral property, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, exercised a portion of the accordion feature of the Revolving Credit Facility and entered into an amendment to the credit agreement, thereby increasing the aggregate principal maximum amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility to $30 million.

The scheduled principal repayments of mortgage payable as of June 30, 2014 are as follows:

2014	$	516,623
2015		1,065,209
2016		2,020,590
2017		2,772,027
2018		34,522,392
Thereafter		114,105,621
	$	155,002,462

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

Financial assets whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis consist only of an interest rate swap. The fair value of the interest rate swap is calculated based on Level 2 inputs.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any hedges or derivatives. As of December 31, 2013, the Predecessor had not designated its interest rate swap as a hedge. This derivative was not speculative and was used to manage the Predecessor’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks, but the Predecessor elected not to designate these instruments in hedging relationships based on the provisions in ASC 815-10. The changes in fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships have been recognized in earnings. Summarized below is the interest rate derivative that was not designated as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2013. The interest rate swap was subsequently terminated upon completion of the IPO.

	Type of		Notional		Maturity					Fair Value as of
Property	Instrument		amount		date		Effective rate			December 31, 2013
City Center		Interest Rate Swap	$	15,000,000		—		6.0	%	$	—

The Fair value of the earn-out was derived by making assumptions on the timing of the lease up of vacant space and the net effective rents of those new leases and then applying an 8% discount rate to the resulting cash-flows to obtain a present value. The earn-out valuation assumes that approximately 40,000 square feet of additional leasing is completed between the date of the valuation and the end of the calculation period which would take the existing occupancy from 67% at June 30, 2014 to 85% by October 2016 and stabilized at that level thereafter. The average net effective rent and incremental operating costs per square foot is assumed to be $14 and $4 respectively.

Level 3 sensitivity analysis:

The Company applies judgment in determining unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of Level 3 instruments. Level 3 instruments held by the Company include the earn-out. The unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the earn-out primarily include the net effective rent assumptions. A sensitivity analysis has been performed to determine the potential gain or loss by varying the significant unobservable inputs by increasing or decreasing them by 10%. The impact of applying these other reasonably possible inputs is a potential loss of $0.4 million and a potential gain of $0.4 million. This potential gain or loss would be recorded through profit and loss.

11

Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Predecessor’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Predecessor 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 $155,000,000 and $88,500,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Although the Predecessor has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its fixed rate debt fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its fixed rate debt utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads. Accordingly, mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

7. Related Party Transactions

Formation Transactions

The formation transactions were completed on April 21, 2014 through the contribution of the initial properties by Second City Capital Partners II, Limited Partnership, Second City General Partner II, Limited Partnership, Gibralt US, Inc., GCC Amberglen Investments Limited Partnership and Daniel Rapaport (collectively the “Second City Group”). The Second City Group received as consideration for its contribution approximately $19.4 million in cash in accordance with the terms of its contribution agreement to acquire various noncontrolling interests and eliminate economic incentives in the initial properties. Additional payments to the Second City Group included $4.9 million for reimbursement of IPO costs and $1.8 million for working capital. On May 9, 2014, subsequent to the underwriters’ exercise of the overallotment option, net proceeds of $9.1 million was paid to the Second City Group to redeem 479,305 common units and 248,095 common stock.

Property Management Fees

Three of the properties (City Center, Central Fairwinds and AmberGlen) engaged related parties to perform asset and property management services for a fee ranging from 1.75% to 3.5% of gross revenue.

Prior to the Formation Transactions, the property manager of Washington Group Plaza was also entitled to an additional incentive commission equal to the lesser of (a) 15% of net operating income in excess of $5 million in 2013, $5.45 million in 2014 and $5.6 million in 2015; or (b) 1% of all monthly gross revenue. The asset and management agreement has an initial term of three years and will automatically renew for successive two year periods. This agreement can be terminated by the Company or the property manager upon thirty days prior written notice to the other party.

Deferred Offering and Financing Costs

Deferred offering and financing costs directly associated with the IPO and Formation Transactions of $4.9 million were reimbursed to Second City upon the closing of the IPO.

8. Future Minimum Rent Schedule

Future minimum lease payments to be received as of June 30, 2014 under noncancellable operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

2014	$	15,992,612
2015		32,611,575
2016		25,801,105
2017		17,645,841
2018		13,975,673
Thereafter		57,764,006
	$	163,790,812

The above minimum lease payments to be received do not include reimbursements from tenants for certain operating expenses and real estate taxes and do not include early termination payments provided for in certain leases.

Two state government tenants currently have the exercisable right to terminate their lease if the state does not appropriate rent in its annual budgets. The Company has determined that the occurrence of the government tenant not appropriating the rent in its 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 47.4% of the Company’s total future minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2014.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Earn-Out

As part of the Formation Transactions and contribution agreement with respect to the Central Fairwinds property (which is currently approximately 72.1% leased, including committed tenants), the Company is obligated to make additional payments to Second City (each, an “Earn-Out Payment”). Earn-Out Payments are contingent on the property reaching certain specified occupancy levels through new leases to qualified tenants and exceeding a net operating income threshold, which grows annually. Second City will be entitled to receive an Earn-Out Payment (net of the associated leasing costs and inclusive of leasing commissions and tenant improvements/allowances and free rent) as and when the occupancy of Central Fairwinds reaches each of 70%, 80% and 90% (each, an “Earn-Out Threshold”) based on the incremental cash flow generated by new leases and a 7.75% stabilized capitalization rate. The Company will make any additional Earn-Out Payment within 30 days of the end of the Earn-Out Term based on new qualified leases entered into since the achievement of the last Earn-Out Threshold. Earn-Out Payments will be subject to a claw-back if a qualified tenant defaults in the payment of rent and is not replaced with another qualified tenant.

As of June 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of the earn-out liability is $7.1 million. The change in fair value for the for the period from April 21, 2014 to June 30, 2014 was $0.1 million.

Property Management Fees

Prior to the Formation Transactions, Washington Group Plaza engaged a related party to perform asset and management services for base and incentive fees as discussed in Note 7.

Other

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, 2014 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. Earnings per Share

The following table shows the amounts used in computing the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share. As of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, there is no dilution to earnings per share.

11. Stockholder’s Equity

The Company issued 5,800,000 shares in conjunction with the IPO resulting in net proceeds of $63.4 million after deducting the underwriters’ discount and offering expenses. The underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 782,150 shares of the Company’s common stock resulting in additional net proceeds to us of $9.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interest in the Company represent common units of the Operating Partnership held by the Predecessor’s prior investors. Noncontrolling interests consisted of 3,251,904 Operating Partnership units and represented approximately 28.4% of the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2014. Operating Partnership units and shares of common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on or after the date which is 12 months after the later of the completion of this offering or the date on which a person first became a holder of common units, each limited partner and assignees of limited partners will have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the common units held by such limited partner or assignee in exchange for a cash amount per common unit equal to the value of one share of common stock, determined in accordance with and subject to adjustment under the partnership agreement. The Company has the sole option at its discretion to redeem the common units by issuing common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Operating Partnership unitholders are entitled to share in cash distributions from the Operating Partnership in proportion to its percentage ownership of common units.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has an equity incentive plan (“Equity Investment Plan”) for certain officers, directors, advisors and personnel, and, with approval of the board of directors, for subsidiaries, the Advisor 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 (“DERs”) 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”).

The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan is 1,263,580 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 April 21, 2014, 352,272 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were granted to the Company’s executive officers and one of the directors at a grant date fair value of $12.50 totaling $4.4 million. The 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, 2014, the Company recognized net compensation expense of $0.3 million related to the RSU’s.

A restricted stock unit award represents the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock in the future, after the applicable vesting criteria, determined by the plan administrator, has been satisfied. The holder of an award of restricted stock units has no rights as a stockholder until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of vested restricted stock units. The plan administrator may provide for a grant of dividend equivalent rights in connection with the grant of restricted stock units; provided, however, that if the restricted stock units do not vest solely upon satisfaction of continued employment or service, any payment in respect to the related dividend equivalent rights will be held by the Company and paid when, and only to the extent that, the related restricted stock units vest.

Overview

Company

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 our Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in the Operating Partnership. Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”).

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 partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.

On April 21, 2014, the Company closed the IPO, pursuant to which it sold 5,800,000 shares of common stock to the public at a public offering price of $12.50 per share. The Company raised $72.5 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $63.4 million after deducting approximately $5.1 million in underwriting discounts and approximately $4.0 million in other expenses relating to the IPO. On May 9, 2014, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 782,150 shares of the Company’s common stock at the IPO price of $12.50 a share resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $9.8 million. The net proceeds to the Company were $9.1 million after deducting approximately $0.7 million in underwriting discounts. The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CIO” on April 15, 2014.

16

Pursuant to the Formation Transactions and exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, the Operating Partnership acquired a 100% interest in each of the Washington Group Plaza, Cherry Creek and Corporate Parkway properties and acquired an approximate 76% economic interest in the AmberGlen property, 90% interest in the Central Fairwinds property and 95% interest in the City Center property. These initial property interests were contributed in exchange for 3,731,209 common units, 1,610,765 common stock and $19.4 million of cash. On May 9, 2014, subsequent to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, 479,305 common units and 248,095 common stock were redeemed for $9.1 million in cash.

The Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2014. Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct 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 income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). An EGC may choose to take advantage of the extended private company transition period provided for complying with new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the SEC. The Company has elected to opt out of such extended transition period. This election is irrevocable.

Indebtedness

In connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, extinguished the loan on the Central Fairwinds property and completed a refinancing of three properties (Cherry Creek, City Center and Corporate Parkway) with a new $95 million non-recourse mortgage loan and proceeds from the IPO. On April 29, 2014, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, completed a $25.4 million refinancing of the AmberGlen property. Following the formation transactions, the Washington Group Plaza property remained subject to the existing Mortgage Loan. On June 13, 2014, in connection with the addition of Plaza 25 as an additional collateral property, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, exercised a portion of the accordion feature of the Revolving Credit Facility and entered into an amendment to the credit agreement, thereby increasing the aggregate principal maximum amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility to $30 million.

For additional information regarding the New Mortgage Loan, the AmberGlen Mortgage Loan, the Washington Mortgage Loan and the Revolving Credit Facility, please refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Revenue Base

Upon completion of the IPO and Formation Transactions, we owned six office complexes comprised of 16 office buildings with a total of approximately 1.85 million square feet of net rentable area. As of June 30, 2014, our initial properties were approximately 90% leased (or 92% after giving effect to committed leases, the terms of which have not yet commenced).

Office Leases

Historically, most leases for our initial 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 the statements of operations. In a 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. The tenant in the Corporate Parkway property has a net lease. 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.

Interest Rate Contracts

As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any interest rate contracts.

Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition

Business and Strategy

We focus on owning and acquiring office properties in select target markets. Our target markets generally possess 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 expect to use our Advisor’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.

Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries

The amount of net rental revenue generated by our initial 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. As of June 30, 2014, our properties were approximately 92% leased (or 93% when giving effect to committed leases, the terms of which have not yet commenced). 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 the portfolio of our 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 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 are generally passed onto tenants in our full-service gross leased properties and are generally paid in full by tenants in our net leased properties. As a public company, we estimate that our annual general and administrative expenses will increase due to increased legal, insurance, accounting and other expenses related to corporate governance, SEC reporting and other compliance matters, compared to the period prior to the IPO. In addition, we expect that our initial properties may be reassessed for local real estate tax purposes after the consummation of the Formation Transactions.

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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The interim financial statements follow the same policies and procedures as outlined in the audited combined financial statements of the Predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s final prospectus dated April 14, 2014.

We intend to use the revolving credit facility, among other things, to finance the acquisition of other properties, to provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes.

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, the proceeds from this offering and borrowings under our secured revolving 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 secured revolving credit facility pending permanent financing.

22

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 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 our Company.

Consolidated Indebtedness as of June 30, 2014

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $155.0 million of outstanding consolidated indebtedness all of which is fixed rate debt. The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2014 with respect to the Company’s outstanding indebtedness.

Contractual Obligations and Other Long-Term Liabilities

The following table provides information with respect to the Company’s commitments as of June 30, 2014, including any guaranteed or minimum commitments under contractual obligations. The table does not reflect available debt extension options.

	Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligation	Total		2014		2015-2016		2017-2018		More than 5 years
Principal payments on mortgage loans	$	155,002,462	$	516,623	$	3,085,799	$	37,294,419	$	114,105,621
Interest payments		37,688,530		3,239,876		12,841,645		11,879,767		9,727,242
Tenant-related commitments		3,714,693		2,706,893		7,800		—		1,000,000
Total	$	196,405,685	$	6,463,392	$	15,935,244	$	49,174,186	$	124,832,863

Cash Flows

Comparison of Period Ended June 30, 2014 to Period Ended June 30, 2013

Cash and cash equivalents were $10.2 million and $2.7 million as of June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

Cash flow from operating activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities increased by $1.4 million to $2.9 million for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the net operating income of Corporate Parkway, Washington Group Plaza, Plaza 25 and Cherry Creek properties.

23

Cash flow to investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $33.3 million to $39.6 million for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $72.9 million for the same period in 2013. The net cash used in investing activities in 2014 was used to acquire the remaining 57.7% ownership in the Cherry Creek property, complete tenant improvements and associated costs and acquire equipment and enhance capital assets.

Cash flow from financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $31.3 million to $39.7 million for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $71.0 million for the period ended June 30, 2013. Cash flow from financing activities is primarily derived from the proceeds from the sale of common shares, and the re-financing and mortgage proceeds on new financing as part of the formation transactions, offset by mortgage payments during the period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2014, the City Office Predecessor did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

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

24

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 major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any outstanding derivatives.

Interest risk amounts are our management’s estimates based on the 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 nor the change to the capital structure as a result of the IPO and Formation Transactions. 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 the Company’s financial structure.

25

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014, the end of the period covered by the report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of June 30, 2014, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection with the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

26

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to litigation arising from the ordinary course of their business. Our management does not believe that any such litigation will materially affect our financial position or operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our final prospectus dated April 14, 2014.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On April 21, 2014, in connection with the Formation Transactions, we issued to certain prior investors in our properties an aggregate of 5,590,069 common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) with an aggregate value of approximately $69.9 million based on the IPO price. The issuance of such units was effected in reliance upon exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the partnership agreement of our Operating Partnership, limited partners of our Operating Partnership will have the right, commencing one year from the date of issuance of such units, to require our Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their OP Units for cash equal to the then-current market value of an equal number of our common shares, or, at our election, for common shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments and the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our shares set forth in our charter.

On April 21, 2014, we closed the IPO, pursuant to which we sold 5,800,000 shares of our common stock to the public at a public offering price of $12.50 per share. We raised $72.5 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $63.4 million after deducting approximately $5.1 million in underwriting discounts and approximately $4.0 million in other expenses relating to the IPO. On May 9, 2014, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 782,150 shares of our common stock at the IPO price of $12.50 a share resulting in additional gross proceeds to us of approximately $9.8 million resulting in net proceeds to us of $9.1 million after deducting approximately $0.7 million in underwriting discounts.

All of the 6,582,150 shares of our common stock were sold pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-11, as amended (File No. 333-193219), that was declared effective by the SEC on April 14, 2014. Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, Wunderlich Securities, Inc. and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. served as joint book-running managers for the offering and as representatives of the underwriters.

We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units, and our Operating Partnership used the net proceeds received from us as described below:

• approximately $19.4 million to acquire interests in our initial properties, including the payment of transaction expenses in connection with the contribution of our initial properties in the formation transactions;

• approximately $6.5 million to repay portions of certain mortgage loans;

• approximately $36.1 million for general working capital purposes, including payment of expenses associated with our Formation Transactions, future acquisitions and creating reserves for capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

We used all of the additional net proceeds from the exercise of the overallotment option to redeem a portion of the common stock and OP Units issued to certain Second City entities in the Formation Transactions at the IPO price.

There has been no material change in our planned use of proceeds from our IPO as described in the final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b).

On January 2, 2014, the Predecessor acquired the remaining 57.7% interest it did not already own in ROC-SCCP Cherry Creek I, LP (“Cherry Creek”) for approximately $12.0 million. The acquisition was financed through a new $50 million mortgage loan, the proceeds of which were used to repay $36 million of existing debt of Cherry Creek, fund the payment of $12.0 million to the seller, pay $1.2 million of deferred financing costs and $0.8 million in transactions costs.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Predecessor represents a combination of certain entities holding interests in real estate that were commonly controlled prior to the Formation Transactions. Due to their common control, the financial statements of the separate entities which own the properties are presented on a combined basis. The accompanying condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on combination.

The information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned condensed consolidated and combined financial statements for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and follow the same policies and procedures as outlined in the audited combined financial statements of the Predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s final prospectus dated April 14, 2014.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Such estimates are based on management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

Offering Costs

Costs related to the IPO and Formation Transactions paid by the Company’s Predecessor were reimbursed from the proceeds of the IPO.

Income Taxes

The Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2014. To qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute dividends equal to at least 90% of the REIT taxable income (computed without regards to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains) to its stockholders, and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to matters such as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. 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 any applicable alternative minimum tax. In addition, the Company may not be able to re-elect as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years.

For periods prior to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions on April 21, 2014, no provision was made for U.S. federal, state or local income taxes because profits and losses of the Predecessor flowed through to its respective partners, members and shareholders who were individually responsible for reporting such amounts.

For periods subsequent to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) are subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes to the extent there is taxable income.

Noncontrolling Interests

Upon completion of the IPO and Formation Transactions and exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, the Operating Partnership issued 3,251,904 common units of limited partnership interest to the Predecessor’s prior investors as partial consideration for the contribution of their interest in the Predecessor to the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interest in the Company represents common units of the Operating Partnership held by the Predecessor’s prior investors.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company held a 71.6% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

Dividends

On May 12, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared an initial, prorated cash dividend of $0.183 per share for the quarterly period from April 21, 2014 through June 30, 2014, which is equivalent to a full quarterly dividend of $0.235. The dividend was payable on July 17, 2014 to stockholders and common unitholders of record on July 3, 2014. The $1.5 million in dividends to stockholders and $0.6 million to common unitholders, totaling $2.1 million.

Equity Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation, including shares of restricted stock units, in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize an expense for the fair value of equity-based awards. The estimated fair value of restricted stock units is amortized over their respective vesting periods. See note 11 for further details.

Earnings per Share

The Company calculates net income per share based upon the weighted average shares outstanding during the period beginning April 21, 2014. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. There were 3,251,904 potentially dilutive shares outstanding related to the issuance of common units held by noncontrolling interests during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. However, the shares were excluded from the computation of diluted shares as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, the number of diluted outstanding shares was treated equal to the number of outstanding shares.

Organization and Description of Business

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 in the Operating Partnership. Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”).

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 partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.

City Office REIT, Inc. Predecessor (the “Predecessor”) represents the combination of the six properties outlined below (the “Properties”). The Predecessor does not represent a legal entity. The Predecessor and its related assets and liabilities are under common control and were contributed to a newly formed Operating Partnership in connection with the “IPO” of the Company on April 21, 2014.

The historical financial results in these financial statements for periods prior to April 21, 2014 relate to the Predecessor. The Predecessor is comprised of the following properties:

• City Center: Property in St. Petersburg, Florida, acquired in December 2010.

• Central Fairwinds: Property in Orlando, Florida, acquired in May 2012.

• AmberGlen: Property in Portland, Oregon, acquired in December 2009.

• Washington Group Plaza: Property in downtown Boise, Idaho, acquired in June 2013.

• Corporate Parkway: Property in Allentown, Pennsylvania, acquired in May 2013.

• Cherry Creek: Property in Denver, Colorado, acquired in January 2014.

The Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2014. Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct 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 income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.

Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). An EGC may choose to take advantage of the extended private company transition period provided for complying with new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company has elected to opt out of such extended transition period. This election is irrevocable.

Initial Public Offering and Formation Transactions

The Company’s operations will be carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”).

On April 21, 2014, the Company closed the IPO, pursuant to which it sold 5,800,000 shares of common stock to the public at a public offering price of $12.50 per share. The Company raised $72.5 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $63.4 million after deducting approximately $5.1 million in underwriting discounts and approximately $4.0 million in other expenses relating to the IPO. On May 9, 2014, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 782,150 shares of the Company’s common stock at the IPO price of $12.50 a share resulting in additional gross proceeds of approximately $9.8 million. The net proceeds to the Company were $9.1 million after deducting approximately $0.7 million in underwriting discounts. The Company’s common stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CIO” on April 15, 2014.

The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership utilized a portion of the net proceeds of the IPO to pay fees in connection with the assumption of the indebtedness, pay expenses incurred in connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions and repay loans that were made to several of the contributing entities by certain investors in such entities. The remaining funds are expected to be used for general working capital purposes and to fund potential future acquisitions.

Pursuant to the Formation Transactions and exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, the Operating Partnership acquired a 100% interest in each of the Washington Group Plaza, Cherry Creek and Corporate Parkway properties and acquired an approximate 76% economic interest in the AmberGlen property, 90% interest in the Central Fairwinds property and 95% interest in the City Center property. These initial property interests were contributed in exchange for 3,731,209 common units, 1,610,765 common stock and $19.4 million of cash. On May 9, 2014, subsequent to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, 479,305 common units and 248,095 common stock were redeemed for $9.1 million in cash.

In connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions, the Company, through its Operating Partnership, extinguished the loan on the Central Fairwinds property and completed a refinancing of three properties (Cherry Creek, City Center and Corporate Parkway) with a new $95 million non-recourse mortgage loan and proceeds from the IPO. The loan bears a fixed interest rate of 4.34% and matures on May 6, 2021.

The following is a summary of the Predecessor Statement of Operations for the period from April 1, 2014 through April 20, 2014 and for the period from January 1, 2014 through April 20, 2014, and the Company’s Statement of Operations for the period from April 21, 2014 through June 30, 2014. These amounts are included in the condensed consolidated and combined statement of operations herein for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. All balances as of December 31, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are those of the Predecessor.

Equity [Abstract]

Stockholder's Equity

11. Stockholder’s Equity

The Company issued 5,800,000 shares in conjunction with the IPO resulting in net proceeds of $63.4 million after deducting the underwriters’ discount and offering expenses. The underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option to purchase an additional 782,150 shares of the Company’s common stock resulting in additional net proceeds to us of $9.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interest in the Company represent common units of the Operating Partnership held by the Predecessor’s prior investors. Noncontrolling interests consisted of 3,251,904 Operating Partnership units and represented approximately 28.4% of the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2014. Operating Partnership units and shares of common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the Operating Partnership. Beginning on or after the date which is 12 months after the later of the completion of this offering or the date on which a person first became a holder of common units, each limited partner and assignees of limited partners will have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the partnership agreement, to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the common units held by such limited partner or assignee in exchange for a cash amount per common unit equal to the value of one share of common stock, determined in accordance with and subject to adjustment under the partnership agreement. The Company has the sole option at its discretion to redeem the common units by issuing common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Operating Partnership unitholders are entitled to share in cash distributions from the Operating Partnership in proportion to its percentage ownership of common units.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company has an equity incentive plan (“Equity Investment Plan”) for certain officers, directors, advisors and personnel, and, with approval of the board of directors, for subsidiaries, the Advisor 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 (“DERs”) 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”).

The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan is 1,263,580 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 April 21, 2014, 352,272 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were granted to the Company’s executive officers and one of the directors at a grant date fair value of $12.50 totaling $4.4 million. The 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, 2014, the Company recognized net compensation expense of $0.3 million related to the RSU’s.

A restricted stock unit award represents the right to receive shares of the Company’s common stock in the future, after the applicable vesting criteria, determined by the plan administrator, has been satisfied. The holder of an award of restricted stock units has no rights as a stockholder until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of vested restricted stock units. The plan administrator may provide for a grant of dividend equivalent rights in connection with the grant of restricted stock units; provided, however, that if the restricted stock units do not vest solely upon satisfaction of continued employment or service, any payment in respect to the related dividend equivalent rights will be held by the Company and paid when, and only to the extent that, the related restricted stock units vest.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Financial assets whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis consist only of an interest rate swap. The fair value of the interest rate swap is calculated based on Level 2 inputs.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any hedges or derivatives. As of December 31, 2013, the Predecessor had not designated its interest rate swap as a hedge. This derivative was not speculative and was used to manage the Predecessor’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks, but the Predecessor elected not to designate these instruments in hedging relationships based on the provisions in ASC 815-10. The changes in fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships have been recognized in earnings. Summarized below is the interest rate derivative that was not designated as a cash flow hedge and the fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2013. The interest rate swap was subsequently terminated upon completion of the IPO.

	Type of		Notional		Maturity					Fair Value as of
Property	Instrument		amount		date		Effective rate			December 31, 2013
City Center		Interest Rate Swap	$	15,000,000		—		6.0	%	$	—

The Fair value of the earn-out was derived by making assumptions on the timing of the lease up of vacant space and the net effective rents of those new leases and then applying an 8% discount rate to the resulting cash-flows to obtain a present value. The earn-out valuation assumes that approximately 40,000 square feet of additional leasing is completed between the date of the valuation and the end of the calculation period which would take the existing occupancy from 67% at June 30, 2014 to 85% by October 2016 and stabilized at that level thereafter. The average net effective rent and incremental operating costs per square foot is assumed to be $14 and $4 respectively.

Level 3 sensitivity analysis:

The Company applies judgment in determining unobservable inputs used to calculate the fair value of Level 3 instruments. Level 3 instruments held by the Company include the earn-out. The unobservable inputs used in the valuation of the earn-out primarily include the net effective rent assumptions. A sensitivity analysis has been performed to determine the potential gain or loss by varying the significant unobservable inputs by increasing or decreasing them by 10%. The impact of applying these other reasonably possible inputs is a potential loss of $0.4 million and a potential gain of $0.4 million. This potential gain or loss would be recorded through profit and loss.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Predecessor’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Predecessor 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 $155,000,000 and $88,500,000 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Although the Predecessor has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its fixed rate debt fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its fixed rate debt utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads. Accordingly, mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Predecessor represents a combination of certain entities holding interests in real estate that were commonly controlled prior to the Formation Transactions. Due to their common control, the financial statements of the separate entities which own the properties are presented on a combined basis. The accompanying condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on combination.

The information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned condensed consolidated and combined financial statements for the interim periods. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with, and follow the same policies and procedures as outlined in the audited combined financial statements of the Predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Company’s final prospectus dated April 14, 2014.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Such estimates are based on management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from management’s estimates.

Offering Costs

Offering Costs

Costs related to the IPO and Formation Transactions paid by the Company’s Predecessor were reimbursed from the proceeds of the IPO.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

The Company intends to elect to be taxed and to operate in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 2014. To qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute dividends equal to at least 90% of the REIT taxable income (computed without regards to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains) to its stockholders, and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to matters such as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, it is generally not subject to U.S. federal corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. 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 any applicable alternative minimum tax. In addition, the Company may not be able to re-elect as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years.

For periods prior to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions on April 21, 2014, no provision was made for U.S. federal, state or local income taxes because profits and losses of the Predecessor flowed through to its respective partners, members and shareholders who were individually responsible for reporting such amounts.

For periods subsequent to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) are subject to federal, state and local corporate income taxes to the extent there is taxable income.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling Interests

Upon completion of the IPO and Formation Transactions and exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, the Operating Partnership issued 3,251,904 common units of limited partnership interest to the Predecessor’s prior investors as partial consideration for the contribution of their interest in the Predecessor to the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interest in the Company represents common units of the Operating Partnership held by the Predecessor’s prior investors.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company held a 71.6% interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

Dividends

Dividends

On May 12, 2014, the Company’s board of directors declared an initial, prorated cash dividend of $0.183 per share for the quarterly period from April 21, 2014 through June 30, 2014, which is equivalent to a full quarterly dividend of $0.235. The dividend was payable on July 17, 2014 to stockholders and common unitholders of record on July 3, 2014. The $1.5 million in dividends to stockholders and $0.6 million to common unitholders, totaling $2.1 million.

Equity Based Compensation

Equity Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity-based compensation, including shares of restricted stock units, in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize an expense for the fair value of equity-based awards. The estimated fair value of restricted stock units is amortized over their respective vesting periods. See note 11 for further details.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per Share

The Company calculates net income per share based upon the weighted average shares outstanding during the period beginning April 21, 2014. Diluted earnings per share is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. There were 3,251,904 potentially dilutive shares outstanding related to the issuance of common units held by noncontrolling interests during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. However, the shares were excluded from the computation of diluted shares as their impact would have been anti-dilutive. As a result, the number of diluted outstanding shares was treated equal to the number of outstanding shares.

Commitments and Contingencies

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Earn-Out

As part of the Formation Transactions and contribution agreement with respect to the Central Fairwinds property (which is currently approximately 72.1% leased, including committed tenants), the Company is obligated to make additional payments to Second City (each, an “Earn-Out Payment”). Earn-Out Payments are contingent on the property reaching certain specified occupancy levels through new leases to qualified tenants and exceeding a net operating income threshold, which grows annually. Second City will be entitled to receive an Earn-Out Payment (net of the associated leasing costs and inclusive of leasing commissions and tenant improvements/allowances and free rent) as and when the occupancy of Central Fairwinds reaches each of 70%, 80% and 90% (each, an “Earn-Out Threshold”) based on the incremental cash flow generated by new leases and a 7.75% stabilized capitalization rate. The Company will make any additional Earn-Out Payment within 30 days of the end of the Earn-Out Term based on new qualified leases entered into since the achievement of the last Earn-Out Threshold. Earn-Out Payments will be subject to a claw-back if a qualified tenant defaults in the payment of rent and is not replaced with another qualified tenant.

As of June 30, 2014, the estimated fair value of the earn-out liability is $7.1 million. The change in fair value for the for the period from April 21, 2014 to June 30, 2014 was $0.1 million.

Property Management Fees

Prior to the Formation Transactions, Washington Group Plaza engaged a related party to perform asset and management services for base and incentive fees as discussed in Note 7.

Other

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, 2014 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.

Formation Transactions

The formation transactions were completed on April 21, 2014 through the contribution of the initial properties by Second City Capital Partners II, Limited Partnership, Second City General Partner II, Limited Partnership, Gibralt US, Inc., GCC Amberglen Investments Limited Partnership and Daniel Rapaport (collectively the “Second City Group”). The Second City Group received as consideration for its contribution approximately $19.4 million in cash in accordance with the terms of its contribution agreement to acquire various noncontrolling interests and eliminate economic incentives in the initial properties. Additional payments to the Second City Group included $4.9 million for reimbursement of IPO costs and $1.8 million for working capital. On May 9, 2014, subsequent to the underwriters’ exercise of the overallotment option, net proceeds of $9.1 million was paid to the Second City Group to redeem 479,305 common units and 248,095 common stock.

Property Management Fees

Three of the properties (City Center, Central Fairwinds and AmberGlen) engaged related parties to perform asset and property management services for a fee ranging from 1.75% to 3.5% of gross revenue.

Prior to the Formation Transactions, the property manager of Washington Group Plaza was also entitled to an additional incentive commission equal to the lesser of (a) 15% of net operating income in excess of $5 million in 2013, $5.45 million in 2014 and $5.6 million in 2015; or (b) 1% of all monthly gross revenue. The asset and management agreement has an initial term of three years and will automatically renew for successive two year periods. This agreement can be terminated by the Company or the property manager upon thirty days prior written notice to the other party.

Deferred Offering and Financing Costs

Deferred offering and financing costs directly associated with the IPO and Formation Transactions of $4.9 million were reimbursed to Second City upon the closing of the IPO.

8. Future Minimum Rent Schedule

Future minimum lease payments to be received as of June 30, 2014 under noncancellable operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

2014	$	15,992,612
2015		32,611,575
2016		25,801,105

2018		13,975,673
Thereafter		57,764,006
	$	163,790,812

The above minimum lease payments to be received do not include reimbursements from tenants for certain operating expenses and real estate taxes and do not include early termination payments provided for in certain leases.

Two state government tenants currently have the exercisable right to terminate their lease if the state does not appropriate rent in its annual budgets. The Company has determined that the occurrence of the government tenant not appropriating the rent in its 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 47.4% of the Company’s total future minimum lease payments as of June 30, 2014.
