Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Description of Business

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

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

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

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted in the Current Year

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, on a modified retrospective basis. The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has reviewed its revenue streams and determined that the majority are under the guidance of ASU 2016-02, Leases. Net gain on sale of real estate is under the guidance of ASU 2017-05, Other Income. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-01 address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

7

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, on a retrospective basis. The update required the statement of cash flows to explain the changes during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.

To be Adopted in Future Years

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. On July 30, 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-11 which allows lessors to elect, as a practical expedient, to not separate lease and non-lease components and allow these components to be accounted for as a single lease component if both (i) the timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee of the lease component and the related non-lease component are the same and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. In addition, a company is permitted to use its effective date as the date of initial application. Therefore, a company electing this option will not restate comparative period financial information, will not make the new required lease disclosures in comparative periods beginning before the effective date and will recognize its cumulative effect transition adjustment as of the effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether it will elect to apply the practical expedient. If the Company elects to apply the practical expedient we expect expense reimbursements that qualify as non-lease components will be presented under a single lease component. If the Company does not elect to apply the practical expedient we expect that certain non-lease components of expense reimbursement may be subject to ASC 606.

All interest rates are fixed interest rates with the exception of the unsecured credit facility (“Unsecured Credit Facility”) as explained in footnote 1 below.

(1) As of September 30, 2018, the Unsecured Credit Facility had $250 million authorized and $53.0 million was drawn. On March 15, 2018, the Company entered into a $250 million Unsecured Credit Facility which includes an accordion feature that will permit the Company to borrow up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Company’s previous secured credit facility was replaced and repaid in full. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures in March 2022, which may be extended to March 2023 at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions. Borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility will bear an interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 140 to 225 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Unsecured Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.50x.

(2) As of September 30, 2018, the one month LIBOR rate was 2.26%.

(3) The mortgage loan is cross-collateralized by DTC Crossroads, Cherry Creek and City Center. Interest on mortgage loan is 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.

(4) The Company is subject to various debt covenants including debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”) that under certain conditions must be maintained no less than 1.15x, 1.20x, 1.20x, 1.40x, 1.15x, 1.45x, 1.35x, 1.35x and 1.20x respectively for each of 190 Office Center, SanTan, Intellicenter, FRP Collection, AmberGlen, Plaza 25, Carillon Point, Central Fairwinds and Circle Point. The DSCR covenant contained in the loan agreements for Plaza 25, allows for the posting of additional collateral reserves in the event the test is not met. As at September 30, 2018, the covenant was not met and thus the Company has posted all required collateral reserves and is not subject to the test while those reserves are held.

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

(6) The Company is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $17 million, minimum liquidity of $1.7 million and a DSCR of no less than 1.15x.

The scheduled principal repayments of debt as of September 30, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):

2018	$	1,106
2019		5,108
2020		6,152

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

Level 3 Inputs – unobservable inputs

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any hedges or derivatives.

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

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its fixed rate mortgage loan payable based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments was $486.8 million and $462.3 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Accordingly, the fair value of mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

7. Related Party Transactions

Administrative Services Agreement

For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company earned $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, in administrative services performed for Second City Real Estate II Corporation and its affiliates (“Second City”).

Earn-Out Payment

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company paid $2.4 million to Second City to terminate the Company’s earn-out payment obligation under the Termination and Mutual Release Agreement.

Minority Interest Buy Out

On August 1, 2018, the Company signed an agreement with Second City Capital Partners II, Limited Partnership whereby Second City agreed to sell its seven percent minority interest in Central Fairwinds Limited Partnership to the Company for $1.1 million. As a result of the agreement the Company’s ownership percentage in Central Fairwinds Limited Partnership is 97%.

8. Future Minimum Rent Schedule

Future minimum lease payments to be received as of September 30, 2018 under non-cancellable operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

2018		26,564
2019		103,464
2020		91,874
2021		80,189
2022		63,121
Thereafter		130,463
	$	495,675

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.

Ten state government tenants currently have the exercisable right to terminate their leases if the applicable state legislature does not appropriate rent in its annual budget. The Company has determined that the occurrence of any government tenant not being appropriated the rent in the applicable annual budget is a remote contingency and accordingly recognizes lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. These tenants represent approximately 10.1% of the Company’s total future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2018.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

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

The Company is involved from time to time in lawsuits and other disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2018 management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock and Common Unit Distributions

On September 14, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and the Company declared a cash dividend distribution of $0.235 per share for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2018. The dividend was paid subsequent to quarter end on October 25, 2018 to common stockholders and common unitholders of record as of October 11, 2018 for an aggregate of $9.3 million. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company also issued 3,410,802 shares under the ATM Program. We raised $43.6 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $42.9 million after deducting sales commissions and offering expenses.

Preferred Stock Distributions

On September 14, 2018 the Company’s Board of Directors approved and the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.4140625 per share for an aggregate amount of $1.9 million. The dividend was paid subsequent to quarter end on October 25, 2018.

13

Restricted Stock Units

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

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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 156,375 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were granted to executive officers, directors and certain non-executive employees with a fair value of $1.9 million. The awards will vest in three equal, annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company recognized net compensation expense of $1.1 million related to the RSUs.

A RSU 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 RSU has no rights as a stockholder until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of vested RSUs. The Plan Administrator may provide for a grant of dividend equivalent rights in connection with the grant of RSU; provided, however, that if the RSUs do not vest solely upon satisfaction of continued employment or service, any payment in respect to the related dividend equivalent rights will be held by the Company and paid when, and only to the extent that, the related RSU vests.

11. Subsequent Events

On October 29, 2018, the Company entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Administrative Services Agreement with real estate investment funds affiliated with Second City Capital II Corporate and Second City Real Estate II Corporation (“SCRE II”). The terms of the Amendment shall be effective on February 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”). After February 1, 2019, the annual fees payable to the Company will be $500,000 for the first twelve months following the Effective Date and thereafter an amount equal to 40% of the management fee paid to SCRE II by the fund managed by SCRE II.

Overview

Company

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

Revenue Base

As of September 30, 2018, we owned 24 properties comprised of 62 office buildings with a total of approximately 5.3 million square feet of net rentable area (“NRA”). As of September 30, 2018, our properties were approximately 90.1% occupied.

Office Leases

Historically, most leases for our properties were on a full-service gross or net lease basis, and we expect to continue to use such leases in the future. A full-service gross lease generally has a base year expense “stop”, whereby we pay a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating expenses are billed to the tenant based on such tenant’s proportionate square footage in the property. The property operating expenses are reflected in operating expenses; however, only the increased property operating expenses above the base year stop recovered from tenants are reflected as tenant recoveries in our statements of operations. In a triple net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all property taxes and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not include any operating expenses, but rather all such expenses are billed to or paid by the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type is reflected in operating expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected in tenant recoveries. All tenants in the Lake Vista Pointe, FRP Ingenuity Drive, Sorrento Mesa and Superior Pointe properties have triple net leases. Certain tenants of AmberGlen, FRP Collection, 2525 McKinnon, Circle Point, and The Quad have leases on a triple net basis. We are also a lessor for a fee simple ground lease at the AmberGlen property. All of our remaining leases are full-service gross leases.

Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition

Business and Strategy

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

Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries

The amount of net rental revenue generated by our properties will depend principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that becomes available from lease terminations. The amount of rental revenue generated also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. We believe that the average rental rates for our portfolio of properties are generally in-line or slightly below the current average quoted market rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our markets or submarkets or downturns in our tenants’ industries 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.

Our Properties

As of September 30, 2018, we owned 24 office complexes comprised of 62 office buildings with a total of approximately 5.3 million square feet of NRA in the metropolitan areas of Dallas, Denver, Orlando, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego and Tampa. The following table presents an overview of our portfolio as of September 30, 2018 (properties listed by descending NRA by market).

(1) For Superior Pointe, FRP Ingenuity Drive, Lake Vista Pointe, and Sorrento Mesa the annualized base rent per square foot on a triple net basis was increased by $12, $8, $8, and $5 respectively, to estimate a gross equivalent base rent. AmberGlen has a net lease for one tenant which has been grossed-up by $7 on a pro rata basis. FRP Collection has net leases for three tenants which have been grossed up by $8 on a pro-rata basis. 2525 McKinnon has net leases for nine tenants which have been grossed up by $16 on a pro-rata basis. Circle Point has net leases for fourteen tenants which have been grossed up by $13 on a pro-rata basis. The Quad has one tenant with a net lease, which has been grossed up by $7 on a pro-rata basis.

(2) Annualized base rent is calculated by multiplying (i) rental payments (defined as cash rents before abatements) for the month ended September 30, 2018 by (ii) 12.

(3) Averages weighted based on the property’s NRA, adjusted for occupancy

Operating Expenses

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

Conditions in Our Markets

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

Total revenues increased $8.7 million, or 36%, to $33.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $24.8 million in the corresponding period in 2017. $2.3 million of this increase was attributed to the acquisition of Mission City in September 2017, $2.2 million from the acquisition of Sorrento Mesa in September 2017, $1.0 million from the acquisition of Papago Tech in October 2017, $1.9 million from the acquisition of Pima Center in April 2018, $1.7 million from the acquisition of Circle Point in July 2018 and $0.9 million from the acquisition of The Quad in July 2018. Central Fairwinds and Park Tower also increased by $0.1 and $0.2 million, respectively, as a result of increased occupancy over the prior year. Offsetting these increases, Washington Group Plaza decreased by $2.2 million due to the sale of the property in March 2018. The remaining properties’ revenues were modestly higher in comparison to three months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of modest mark-to-market increases in rents.

Rental Income. Rental income includes net rental income and income from a ground lease. Total rental income increased $6.7 million, or 31%, to $28.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in rental income was primarily due to the acquisitions described above. The acquisitions of Mission City, Sorrento Mesa, Papago Tech, Pima Center, Circle Point and The Quad contributed an additional $2.0 million, $1.8 million, $0.9 million, $1.8 million, $1.0 million and $0.8 million in rental income, respectively, to the 2018 period rental income. Central Fairwinds and Park Tower also increased by $0.1 and $0.2 million, respectively, as a result of increased occupancy over the prior year. Offsetting these increases, Washington Group Plaza decreased by $2.2 million due to the sale of that property in March 2018. The remaining properties’ rental income were modestly higher in comparison to three months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of modest mark-to-market increases in rents.

Expense Reimbursement. Total expense reimbursement increased $2.0 million, or 77%, to $4.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2017, primarily due to the acquisition of the Mission City, Sorrento Mesa, Papago Tech, Pima Center, Circle Point and The Quad properties described above.

Other. Other revenue includes parking, signage and other miscellaneous income. Total other revenues remained relatively unchanged at $0.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $0.8 million for the same period in 2017. Nominal other income was generated by City Center, Central Fairwinds, Logan Tower, DTC Crossroads, 5090 N 40th St, SanTan, 2525 McKinnon, Park Tower, Mission City, Papago Tech and Pima Center with the largest contribution from City Center and Park Tower parking income.

Operating Expenses

Total Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses consist of property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Total operating expenses increased by $6.9 million, or 32%, to $28.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $21.6 million for the same period in 2017, primarily due to acquisitions described above.

Washington Group Plaza operating expenses decreased by $1.0 million due to its sale in March 2018. The remaining operating expenses aggregated to an overall $1.0 million decrease in comparison to the prior year primarily related to a decrease in depreciation at FRP Collection.

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses are comprised mainly of building common area and maintenance expenses, insurance, property taxes, property management fees, as well as certain expenses that are not recoverable from tenants, the majority of which are related to costs necessary to maintain the appearance and marketability of vacant space. In the normal course of business, property expenses fluctuate and are impacted by various factors including, but not limited to, occupancy levels, weather, utility costs, repairs, maintenance and re-leasing costs. Property operating expenses increased $2.6 million, or 24%, to $13.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $10.7 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in property operating expenses was primarily due to the acquisitions described above. The acquisition of the Mission City, Sorrento Mesa, Papago Tech, Pima Center, Circle Point and The Quad contributed an additional $1.1 million, $0.6 million, $0.3 million, $0.7 million, $0.7 million and $0.2 million in additional property operating expenses, respectively. Washington Group Plaza decreased by $1.0 million due to the sale of that property in March 2018. The remaining property operating expenses were relatively unchanged over the prior year.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses comprise of public company reporting costs and the compensation of our management team and board of directors as well as non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 28%, to $1.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to higher payroll costs.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $4.0 million, or 42%, to $13.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $9.4 million for the same period in 2017, primarily due to the addition of the Mission City, Sorrento Mesa, Papago Tech, Pima Center, Circle Point and The Quad properties. These increases were offset by a decrease in depreciation at FRP Collection primarily due to an unexpected tenant departure in 2017.

Other Expense (Income)

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 27%, to $6.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to $4.9 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to interest expense related to acquisitions. Interest expense for the Mission City, Circle Point and The Quad property level debt increased by $0.4 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and the interest on the line of credit increased by $0.9 million as a result of acquisitions funded by that facility. These increases were offset by a $0.3 million decrease in the Washington Group Plaza debt as a result of the sale of that building and the extinguishment of its property level debt.

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Total Revenue. Revenue includes net rental income, including parking, signage and other income, as well as the recovery of operating costs and property taxes from tenants. Total revenues increased $20.0 million, or 27%, to $95.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $75.3 million in the corresponding period in 2017. $0.1 million of this increase was attributed to the acquisition of 2525 McKinnon in January 2017, $7.0 million from the acquisition of Mission City in September 2017, $8.1 million from the acquisition of Sorrento Mesa in September 2017, $2.8 million from the acquisition of Papago Tech in October 2017, $3.6 million from the acquisition of Pima Center in April 2018, $1.7 million from the acquisition of Circle Point in July 2018 and $0.9 million from the acquisition of The Quad in July 2018. Central Fairwinds and Park Tower also increased by $0.2 and $0.2 million, respectively, as a result of increased occupancy over the prior year. Offsetting these increases, AmberGlen

20

decreased by $0.6 million primarily due to the sale of two of the five buildings in the complex in May 2017 and Washington Group Plaza decreased by $4.9 million due to the sale of the property in March 2018. The remaining properties’ revenues were modestly higher in comparison to nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of modest mark-to-market increases in rents.

Rental Income. Rental income includes net rental income and income from a ground lease. Total rental income increased $15.7 million, or 24%, to $81.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $65.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in rental income was primarily due to the acquisitions described above. The acquisitions of Mission City, Sorrento Mesa, Papago Tech, Pima Center, Circle Point and The Quad contributed an additional $5.9 million, $6.8 million, $2.6 million, $3.4 million, $1.0 million and $0.8 million in rental income, respectively, to the 2018 period rental income. Central Fairwinds and Park Tower also increased by $0.1 and $0.2 million, respectively, as a result of increased occupancy over the prior year.

Total expense reimbursement increased $3.9 million, or 51%, to $11.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $7.7 million for the same period in 2017, primarily due to the acquisition of the 2525 McKinnon, Mission City, Sorrento Mesa, Papago Tech, Pima Center, Circle Point and The Quad properties described above.

Other. Other revenue includes parking, signage and other miscellaneous income. Total other revenues increased $0.4 million, or 19%, to $2.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2017. The increase can be attributed to the net proceeds of an auction of a former tenant’s equipment at FRP Collection which vacated unexpectedly late in 2017. Nominal other income was also generated by City Center, Central Fairwinds, Logan Tower, DTC Crossroads, 5090 N 40th St, SanTan, 2525 McKinnon, Park Tower, Mission City and Sorrento Mesa with the largest contribution from City Center and Park Tower parking income.

Operating Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 11%, to $5.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $5.2 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to higher payroll costs.

Depreciation and amortization increased $7.9 million, or 27%, to $37.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 compared to $29.1 million for the same period in 2017, primarily due to the addition of the 2525 McKinnon, Mission City, Sorrento Mesa, Papago Tech, Pima Center, Circle Point and The Quad properties offset by a decrease at Washington Group Plaza and AmberGlen due to the sale of those properties. The remaining decrease primarily relates to a decrease in depreciation at FRP Collection mainly due to an unexpected tenant departure in 2017.

Other Expense (Income)

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense increased $3.5 million, or 25%, to $17.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to $14.0 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to interest expense related to acquisitions. Interest expense for the Mission City, Circle Point and The Quad property level debt increased by $1.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and the interest on the line of credit increased by $2.0 million as a result of acquisitions funded by that facility. A new mortgage placed on Central Fairwinds in June 2017 also increased interest expense by a further $0.3 million over the prior year. Amortization of deferred financing fees also increased by $0.3 million as a result of the renewal of the line of credit in 2018. These increases were offset by a $0.7 million decrease in the Washington Group Plaza debt as a result of the sale of that building and the extinguishment of its property level debt.

Net Gain on the Sale of Real Estate Property. Net gain on the sale of real estate property relates to the sale of our Washington Group Plaza property in March 2018. In the prior year, amounts relate to the sale of 2 buildings in our AmberGlen complex in May 2017.

Cash Flows

Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $33.8 million and $43.9 million as of September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

Cash flow from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $4.6 million to $30.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $25.5 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was attributable to increased operating cash flows from acquisitions and the earn-out termination payment which occurred in 2017 but not 2018, offset by changes in working capital predominantly due to the sale of Washington Group Plaza.

Cash flow from investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $111.4 million to $96.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $208.0 million used in investing activities for the same period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to the higher cost of acquisitions of real estate in 2017 compared to 2018 and the disposition of the Washington Group Plaza property in 2018.

Cash flow to financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $131.4 million to $65.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $196.8 million provided by the same period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to higher proceeds from sales of common stock in 2017 compared to 2018. Proceeds from credit facility and mortgage loans payable (net of repayments) was also higher in 2017 compared to 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had approximately $13.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $20.1 million of restricted cash as of September 30, 2018.

On March 15, 2018 the Company entered into a $250 million Unsecured Credit Facility which includes an accordion feature that allows the Company to borrow up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Company’s previous secured credit facility was replaced and repaid in full. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures in March 2022, which may be extended to March 2023 at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions. Borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility bear an interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 140 to 225 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. As of September 30, 2018, we had approximately $53.0 million outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

The Company and the Operating Partnership previously entered into separate equity distribution agreements (the “Sales Agreements”) with each of KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Raymond James & Associates, Inc. and BMO Capital Markets Corp. (collectively, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time to time up to 6,000,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and up to 1,000,000 shares of its 6.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share (collectively, the “Shares”), through the Sales Agents, acting as agents or principals (the “ATM Program”). Pursuant to the Sales Agreements, the Shares may be offered and sold through the Sales Agents in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or, with the prior consent of the Company, in privately negotiated transactions. The Sales Agents will be entitled to compensation of up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds of shares sold through the Sales Agents from time to time under the sales agreements. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the Sales Agreements and may at any time suspend solicitations and offers under, or terminate, the Sales Agreements. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company issued 3,410,802 shares under the ATM Program. We raised $43.6 million in gross proceeds, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $42.9 million after deducting sales commissions and offering expenses.

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

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

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

(1) Consists principally of commitments for tenant improvements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2018, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Inflation

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

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 September 30, 2018, our Company did not have any outstanding derivatives.

The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. We consider our interest rate exposure to be minimal because as of September 30, 2018, approximately $499.2 million, or 90.4%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $53.0 million, or 9.6%, had variable interest rates. A 10% increase in LIBOR would increase our interest costs by approximately $0.1 million on debt outstanding as of September 30, 2018, and would decrease the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as increase interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. A 10% decrease in LIBOR would decrease our interest costs by approximately $0.1 million on debt outstanding as of September 30, 2018, and would increase the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as decrease interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

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

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

The following risk factor replaces the risk factor disclosed under a similar heading in the section entitled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in such Annual Report.

Covenants in our Credit Agreement may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are generally required under the Code to distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, including any net capital gains. Under our Credit Agreement, dated as of March 15, 2018, we are subject to various financial covenants that may inhibit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. If we are unable to make distributions to our stockholders, we will not be able to make sufficient distributions to maintain our REIT status.

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

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

None.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information

The following disclosure would have otherwise been filed on a Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

We previously disclosed entry by us and a subsidiary (“Subsidiary”) into the Administrative Services Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2016 (the “Administrative Services Agreement”), with entities that manage real estate investment funds affiliated with Second City Capital II Corporation (“SCCC”) and Second City Real Estate II Corporation (“SCRE II,” and collectively, the “Second City funds”). James Farrar, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Gregory Tylee, our Chief Operating Officer, are officers of the general partners of the Second City funds and own equity interests in the Second City funds. Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, Subsidiary provides various administrative services and support to the entities managing the Second City funds.

On October 29, 2018, we and the Second City Funds entered into the First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Administrative Services Agreement to, among other things, accomplish the following, effective as of February 1, 2019:

• Remove SCCC as a party to the Administrative Services Agreement as the services rendered to SCCC are no longer needed;

26

• Set the annual fees payable to Subsidiary under the Administrative Services Agreement beginning on February 1, 2019 as follows: first 12 months—$500,000 and thereafter—40% of the management fee paid to SCRE II by the fund managed by SCRE II; and

• Extend the term of the Administrative Services Agreement until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the fund managed by SCRE II and (ii) the election by Subsidiary or SCRE II to terminate the Administrative Services Agreement if certain conditions are met.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete. Reference is made to the Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

FIRST AMENDMENT

TO THE

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

This First Amendment (this “Amendment”) to the Administrative Services Agreement (the “Agreement”), effective as of October 29, 2018, is by and among City Office Management ULC, a British Columbia unlimited liability company that is a successor to City Office Management Ltd. (“Buyer”), Second City Capital II Corporation, a British Columbia corporation (“SCCC”), and Second City Real Estate II Corporation, a British Columbia corporation (“SCRE II”). SCCC, SCRE II and Buyer are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Parties originally entered into the Agreement dated as of February 1, 2016 whereby SCCC and SCRE II retained Buyer to provide certain administrative services to SCCC and SCRE II;

WHEREAS, under the terms of the Agreement, the Agreement will automatically terminate on February 1, 2019, if not terminated earlier in accordance with the terms of the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Agreement to, among other things, (i) remove SCCC as a party to the Agreement, (ii) adjust the Fees payable to Buyer and (iii) extend the term of the Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained in this Agreement, the Parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

1. SCCC is hereinafter removed as a party to the Agreement and shall no longer receive Services from Buyer nor be bound to remit payment of Fees to Buyer. SCCC hereby and forever releases Buyer and SCRE II from any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, orders and causes of action of every kind and nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, vested or contingent, in law or equity, existing by statute, common law, or otherwise, (including but not limited to matters involving gross negligence) which have existed, may currently exist or do exist, prior to or at the execution and delivery by the Parties of this Amendment in connection with the Agreement and its terms. The release set forth in this Section 1 is intended to be a general release of the broadest possible scope.

2. “Second City” as used in the Agreement shall hereinafter refer solely to SCRE II.

3. The following terms shall be added to Section 1.01 of the Agreement:

“Fund” means Second City Real Estate II, Limited Partnership.

1

“Fund LPA” means the amended and restated limited partnership of the Fund dated for reference as July 9, 2014, amended and restated as of July 7, 2015, as it may be further amended, restated and in effect from time to time.

“Governing Instruments” means, with regard to any entity, the articles or certificate of incorporation and bylaws in the case of a corporation, certificate of limited partnership (if applicable) and the partnership agreement in the case of a general or limited partnership, the articles or certificate of formation and the operating agreement in the case of a limited liability company, the trust instrument in the case of a trust, or similar governing documents, in each case as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time.

“Management Fee” shall mean the cash management fee payable by Fund to Second City or its affiliates, as calculated by Fund’s Governing Instruments or other agreement (whether using a percentage charged to committed capital, net invested capital or alternative measure), but it shall not include (i) any sums paid to Second City by Fund which are intended to reimburse Second City or any officer of Second City, for third party costs and expenses incurred by Second City or such officers of Second City, and (ii) any carried interest payments or similar back-end promoted performance incentives received by Second City or any officer of Second City from the Fund. All Management Fees shall be payable in U.S. dollars.

“Term End Date” has the meaning assigned to it in the Fund LPA.

4. Section 4.04 shall be added to Article IV of the Agreement as follows:

Section 4.04 New Fees. Subsequent to the terms set forth in Section 4.01 ending as of January 31, 2019, the Fees payable by Second City to Buyer for the Services under this Agreement shall be the annual amounts set forth below, payable in four equal quarterly installments, commencing on February 1, 2019 and continuing on the first day of each quarter thereafter:

(a) From February 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020: $500,000

(b) Thereafter: 40% of the Management Fee paid to Second City by Fund under Fund’s Governing Instruments.

5. Section 7.01 of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Section 7.01 Term and Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall be in effect until the Term End Date, unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Article VII (the “Term”).

(b) Upon a Change of Control, each of Second City and Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement effective upon 30 days’ prior written notice of termination to the other Party; provided, however, that (i) the election to terminate and notification thereof must be made within 90 days of such Change of Control or the right to terminate under this Section 7.01(b) shall expire, and (ii) if Second City elects to terminate this Agreement upon a Change of Control pursuant to this Section 7.01(b), no additional Fees shall be payable to Buyer following the termination.

2

(c) Second City shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing thirty (30) days advance written notice to Buyer upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) Either one or both James Farrar and Greg Tylee cease to be executive officers of the REIT for any reason; or

(ii) Buyer fails to perform its obligations hereunder and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of written notice of such default.

(d) Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing thirty (30) days written notice to Second City upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) Second City fails to perform its obligations hereunder and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days following Second City’s receipt of written notice of such default; or

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may terminate this Agreement at any time if, in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors, doing so is reasonably necessary or desirable to preserve the REIT’s qualification as a real estate investment trust (as defined in the Code).

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 of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“common units”).

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

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

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted in the Current Year

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, on a modified retrospective basis. The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has reviewed its revenue streams and determined that the majority are under the guidance of ASU 2016-02, Leases. Net gain on sale of real estate is under the guidance of ASU 2017-05, Other Income. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-01 address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, on a retrospective basis. The update required the statement of cash flows to explain the changes during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.

To be Adopted in Future Years

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. On July 30, 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-11 which allows lessors to elect, as a practical expedient, to not separate lease and non-lease components and allow these components to be accounted for as a single lease component if both (i) the timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee of the lease component and the related non-lease component are the same and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. In addition, a company is permitted to use its effective date as the date of initial application. Therefore, a company electing this option will not restate comparative period financial information, will not make the new required lease disclosures in comparative periods beginning before the effective date and will recognize its cumulative effect transition adjustment as of the effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether it will elect to apply the practical expedient. If the Company elects to apply the practical expedient we expect expense reimbursements that qualify as non-lease components will be presented under a single lease component. If the Company does not elect to apply the practical expedient we expect that certain non-lease components of expense reimbursement may be subject to ASC 606.

All interest rates are fixed interest rates with the exception of the unsecured credit facility (“Unsecured Credit Facility”) as explained in footnote 1 below.

(1) As of September 30, 2018, the Unsecured Credit Facility had $250 million authorized and $53.0 million was drawn. On March 15, 2018, the Company entered into a $250 million Unsecured Credit Facility which includes an accordion feature that will permit the Company to borrow up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Company’s previous secured credit facility was replaced and repaid in full. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures in March 2022, which may be extended to March 2023 at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions. Borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility will bear an interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 140 to 225 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Unsecured Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.50x.

(2) As of September 30, 2018, the one month LIBOR rate was 2.26%.

(3) The mortgage loan is cross-collateralized by DTC Crossroads, Cherry Creek and City Center. Interest on mortgage loan is 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.

(4) The Company is subject to various debt covenants including debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”) that under certain conditions must be maintained no less than 1.15x, 1.20x, 1.20x, 1.40x, 1.15x, 1.45x, 1.35x, 1.35x and 1.20x respectively for each of 190 Office Center, SanTan, Intellicenter, FRP Collection, AmberGlen, Plaza 25, Carillon Point, Central Fairwinds and Circle Point. The DSCR covenant contained in the loan agreements for Plaza 25, allows for the posting of additional collateral reserves in the event the test is not met. As at September 30, 2018, the covenant was not met and thus the Company has posted all required collateral reserves and is not subject to the test while those reserves are held.

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

(6) The Company is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $17 million, minimum liquidity of $1.7 million and a DSCR of no less than 1.15x.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

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

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any hedges or derivatives.

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

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

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its fixed rate mortgage loan payable based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments was $486.8 million and $462.3 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Accordingly, the fair value of mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

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.

Ten state government tenants currently have the exercisable right to terminate their leases if the applicable state legislature does not appropriate rent in its annual budget. The Company has determined that the occurrence of any government tenant not being appropriated the rent in the applicable annual budget is a remote contingency and accordingly recognizes lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the respective lease term. These tenants represent approximately 10.1% of the Company’s total future minimum lease payments as of September 30, 2018.

Commitments and Contingencies

9. Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

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

The Company is involved from time to time in lawsuits and other disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2018 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.

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

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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 156,375 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) were granted to executive officers, directors and certain non-executive employees with a fair value of $1.9 million. The awards will vest in three equal, annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Company recognized net compensation expense of $1.1 million related to the RSUs.

A RSU 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 RSU has no rights as a stockholder until shares of common stock are issued in settlement of vested RSUs. The Plan Administrator may provide for a grant of dividend equivalent rights in connection with the grant of RSU; provided, however, that if the RSUs do not vest solely upon satisfaction of continued employment or service, any payment in respect to the related dividend equivalent rights will be held by the Company and paid when, and only to the extent that, the related RSU vests.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted in the Current Year

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts with Customers, on a modified retrospective basis. The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company has reviewed its revenue streams and determined that the majority are under the guidance of ASU 2016-02, Leases. Net gain on sale of real estate is under the guidance of ASU 2017-05, Other Income. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in ASU 2016-01 address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flow: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted FASB ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, on a retrospective basis. The update required the statement of cash flows to explain the changes during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents.

To be Adopted in Future Years

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The update amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. On July 30, 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-11 which allows lessors to elect, as a practical expedient, to not separate lease and non-lease components and allow these components to be accounted for as a single lease component if both (i) the timing and pattern of transfer to the lessee of the lease component and the related non-lease component are the same and (ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. In addition, a company is permitted to use its effective date as the date of initial application. Therefore, a company electing this option will not restate comparative period financial information, will not make the new required lease disclosures in comparative periods beginning before the effective date and will recognize its cumulative effect transition adjustment as of the effective date. The Company is in the process of evaluating whether it will elect to apply the practical expedient. If the Company elects to apply the practical expedient we expect expense reimbursements that qualify as non-lease components will be presented under a single lease component. If the Company does not elect to apply the practical expedient we expect that certain non-lease components of expense reimbursement may be subject to ASC 606.

All interest rates are fixed interest rates with the exception of the unsecured credit facility (“Unsecured Credit Facility”) as explained in footnote 1 below.

(1) As of September 30, 2018, the Unsecured Credit Facility had $250 million authorized and $53.0 million was drawn. On March 15, 2018, the Company entered into a $250 million Unsecured Credit Facility which includes an accordion feature that will permit the Company to borrow up to $500 million, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Company’s previous secured credit facility was replaced and repaid in full. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures in March 2022, which may be extended to March 2023 at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions. Borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility will bear an interest at a rate equal to the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 140 to 225 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Unsecured Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.50x.

(2) As of September 30, 2018, the one month LIBOR rate was 2.26%.

(3) The mortgage loan is cross-collateralized by DTC Crossroads, Cherry Creek and City Center. Interest on mortgage loan is 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.

(4) The Company is subject to various debt covenants including debt service coverage ratios (“DSCR”) that under certain conditions must be maintained no less than 1.15x, 1.20x, 1.20x, 1.40x, 1.15x, 1.45x, 1.35x, 1.35x and 1.20x respectively for each of 190 Office Center, SanTan, Intellicenter, FRP Collection, AmberGlen, Plaza 25, Carillon Point, Central Fairwinds and Circle Point. The DSCR covenant contained in the loan agreements for Plaza 25, allows for the posting of additional collateral reserves in the event the test is not met. As at September 30, 2018, the covenant was not met and thus the Company has posted all required collateral reserves and is not subject to the test while those reserves are held.

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

(6) The Company is required to maintain a minimum net worth of $17 million, minimum liquidity of $1.7 million and a DSCR of no less than 1.15x.
