EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015 of Brandywine Realty Trust (the “Parent Company”) and Brandywine Operating Partnership L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company is a Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to in this report as the “Company”. In addition, as used in this report, terms such as “we”, “us”, and “our” may refer to the Company, the Parent Company, or the Operating Partnership.
The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of March 31, 2015, owned a 99.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 0.9% interest consists of common units of limited partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership to third parties in exchange for contributions of properties to the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete authority over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day operations and management.
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.
As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. The separate discussions of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company's operations on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.
The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into a single report will result in the following benefits:
facilitate a better understanding by the investors of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
remove duplicative disclosures and provide a more straightforward presentation in light of the fact that a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and
create time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
There are few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in the footnote disclosures in this report. The Company believes it is important to understand the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how these entities operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing the debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the Company and directly or indirectly holds the ownership interests in the Company’s Real Estate Ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the Company’s business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s incurrence of indebtedness (directly and through subsidiaries) and through the issuance of partnership units of the Operating Partnership or equity interests in subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
The equity and non-controlling interests in the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership’s equity are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. The common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ equity in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements while the common units of limited partnership interests held by parties other than the Parent Company are presented as non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements. The differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership’s equity relate to the differences in the equity issued at the Parent Company and Operating Partnership levels.


3




To help investors understand the significant differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following as separate notes or sections for each of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership:
Consolidated Financial Statements; and
Parent Company’s and Operating Partnership’s Equity.
This report also includes separate Item 4. (Controls and Procedures) disclosures and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the Parent Company and Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. § 1350.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosures of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to such disclosures as those of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and Real Estate Ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Parent Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

BRANDYWINE REALTY TRUST AND BRANDYWINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2015
1. ORGANIZATION OF THE PARENT COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP
The Parent Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that provides leasing, property management, development, redevelopment, acquisition and other tenant-related services for a portfolio of office, industrial, retail and mixed-use properties. The Parent Company owns its assets and conducts its operations through the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of March 31, 2015, owned a 99.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company’s common shares of beneficial interest are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “BDN”.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company owned 198 properties, consisting of 161 office properties, 20 industrial facilities, five mixed-use properties, one retail property (187 core properties), six properties classified as held for sale, three development properties, one redevelopment property and one re-entitlement property (collectively, the “Properties”) containing an aggregate of approximately 24.9 million net rentable square feet. In addition, as of March 31, 2015, the Company owned economic interests in 17 unconsolidated real estate ventures that own properties containing an aggregate of approximately 6.7 million net rentable square feet (collectively, the “Real Estate Ventures”). As of March 31, 2015, the Company also owned 415 acres of undeveloped land, and held options to purchase approximately 63 additional acres of undeveloped land. As of March 31, 2015, the total potential development that these land parcels could support, under current zoning, entitlements or combination thereof, amounted to an estimated 6.0 million square feet of development, inclusive of options to purchase approximately 63 additional acres of undeveloped land. The Properties and the properties owned by the Real Estate Ventures are located in or near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Metropolitan Washington, D.C.; Southern New Jersey; Richmond, Virginia; Wilmington, Delaware; Austin, Texas; and Oakland, Concord and Carlsbad, California.
The Company conducts its third-party real estate management services business primarily through wholly-owned management company subsidiaries.

Unless otherwise indicated, all references in this Form 10-Q to square feet represent net rentable area.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) for a fair statement of the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2015, the results of its operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and its cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Parent Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in their combined 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 19, 2015.
The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 contains a discussion of our significant accounting policies under Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies". There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies since December 31, 2014. Management discusses our significant accounting policies and management’s judgments and estimates with the Company's Audit Committee.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that all costs incurred to issue debt be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt. The amortization of these costs will remain under the interest method and will continue to be reported as interest expense. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued.


16




The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued guidance modifying the analysis a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. The guidance does not change the general order in which the consolidation models are applied. A reporting entity that holds an economic interest in, or is otherwise involved with, another legal entity first determines if the variable interest entity model applies, and if so, whether it holds a controlling financial interest under that model. If the entity being evaluated for consolidation is not a variable interest entity, then the voting model should be applied to determine whether the entity should be consolidated by the reporting entity. Key changes to the guidance include, though are not limited to; (i.) limiting the extent to which related party interests are included in the other economic interest criterion to the decision maker’s effective interest holding, (ii.) requiring limited partners of a limited partnership, or the members of a limited liability company that is similar to a limited partnership, to have, at minimum, kick-out or participating rights to demonstrate that the partnership is a voting entity, (iii.) changing the evaluation of whether the equity holders at risk lack decision making rights when decision making is outsourced and (iv.) changing how the economics test is performed. The guidance does not amend the existing disclosure requirements for variable interest entities or voting model entities. The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
3. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

(a)
Real estate investments related to assets held for sale above represents gross real estate assets and does not include accumulated depreciation or other assets on the balance sheets of the properties held for sale.
Dispositions
On January 8, 2015, the Company sold two office properties known as Atrium I, which includes 99,668 square feet of rentable space located in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, and Libertyview, which includes 121,737 square feet of rentable space located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, for a total sales price of $28.3 million resulting in a gain on sale of $9.0 million after closing and other transaction related costs.
Held for Sale
On April 9, 2015, the Company sold the Lake Merritt Tower, consisting of 204,336 rentable square feet, located in Oakland, California for a sale price of $65.0 million. See Note 14, "Subsequent Events," for further information regarding this disposition. As of March 31, 2015, the Company categorized this property as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the property exceeds the fair value less the costs of sale. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $1.7 million, which approximates the cost of sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
As of March 31, 2015, the Company classified two properties totaling 200,275 rentable square feet known as Delaware Corporate Center I and II in Wilmington, Delaware and three properties totaling 284,907 rentable square feet known as Christiana Corporate Center in Newark, Delaware as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets.
The disposal of the properties referenced above do not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results. Accordingly, the impairment loss on the Lake Merritt Tower and operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.
4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED VENTURES
As of March 31, 2015, the Company held ownership interests in 17 unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures for an aggregate investment balance of $232.3 million, of which $233.5 million is included in assets and $1.2 million is included in other liabilities relating to the negative investment balance of one real estate venture. The Company formed or acquired interests in these ventures with unaffiliated third parties to develop or manage office properties or to acquire land in anticipation of possible development of office or residential properties. As of March 31, 2015, 11 of the real estate ventures owned 65 office buildings that contain an aggregate of approximately 6.7 million net rentable square feet; one real estate venture owned three acres of undeveloped parcels of land; three real estate ventures owned 22.6 acres of land under development; one real estate venture owned a residential tower that contains 345 apartment units and one real estate venture owned a hotel property that contains 137 rooms in Conshohocken, PA.
The Company accounts for its unconsolidated interests in its Real Estate Ventures using the equity method. The Company’s unconsolidated interests range from 20% to 65%, subject to specified priority allocations of distributable cash in certain of the Real Estate Ventures.
The amounts reflected in the following tables (except for the Company’s share of equity and income) are based on the historical financial information of the individual Real Estate Ventures. The Company does not record operating losses of a Real Estate Venture in excess of its investment balance unless the Company is liable for the obligations of the Real Estate Venture or is otherwise committed to provide financial support to the Real Estate Venture.
The following is a summary of the financial position of the Real Estate Ventures as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

This amount includes the effect of the basis difference between the Company's historical cost basis and the basis recorded at the Real Estate Venture level, which is typically amortized over the life of the related assets and liabilities. Basis differentials occur from the impairment of investments, purchases of third party interests in existing Real Estate Ventures and upon the transfer of assets that were previously owned by the Company into a Real Estate Venture. In addition, certain acquisition, transaction and other costs may not be reflected in the net assets at the Real Estate Venture level.
(b)
Does not include the negative investment balance of one real estate venture totaling $1.2 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which is included in other liabilities.

DRA - PA Venture
On December 19, 2007, the Company formed G&I Interchange Office LLC, a real estate venture (the “Venture”) with G&I VI Investment Interchange Office LLC (“G&I VI”), an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC. The Venture included interests in 29 office properties which were located in various counties in Pennsylvania, containing an aggregate of 1,611,961 net rentable square feet. In connection with the formation, the Company retained a 20.0% ownership interest in the Venture and transferred an 80.0% interest in the Venture to G&I IV.
On February 27, 2015, the Venture entered into a forbearance agreement with an unaffiliated third party lender because it will not repay the $174.2 million outstanding nonrecourse mortgage balance that matured on January 1, 2015. The forbearance agreement extended the maturity date of the mortgage loan to July 31, 2015 and contains, at the lender’s option, a 60-day extension option. The lender has the exclusive right to sell the properties to a third-party purchaser during the forbearance period. The net proceeds received from the sale of the properties will be provided to the lender. If the properties are not sold during the forbearance period the Venture’s assets will be foreclosed on by the lender.
As of the date of the forbearance agreement, the Company does not have an investment basis in the venture because of a basis adjustment recorded at formation. The Company is not obligated to fund any of the losses incurred by the Venture and, as a result, has not recognized losses in excess of its invested capital balance.
Austin Venture
On January 30, 2015, the Austin Venture closed on a mortgage loan with a non-affiliated institutional lender, and the proceeds of this loan were applied to repay in full the Company's $88.0 million short-term loan related to the acquisition of River Place. For further information regarding this acquisition, see Note 4, "Investment In Unconsolidated Ventures," included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
Guarantees
As of March 31, 2015, the Company had provided guarantees on behalf of certain real estate ventures, consisting of (i) a $24.7 million payment guarantee on the construction loan for the project being undertaken by evo at Cira; (ii) a $3.2 million payment guarantee on the construction loan for the development project being undertaken by TB-BDN Plymouth Apartments; and (iii) a $0.5 million payment guarantee on a loan provided to PJP VII. In addition, during construction undertaken by real estate ventures, the Company has provided and expects to continue to provide cost overrun and completion guarantees, with rights of contribution among partners in the real estate ventures, as well as customary environmental indemnities and guarantees of customary exceptions to nonrecourse provisions in loan agreements. For additional information regarding these real estate ventures, see Note 4, "Investments in Unconsolidated Ventures," in notes to the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

For further information on these obligations, see the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. As of March 31, 2015, the Company was in compliance with all such restrictions and financial covenants.

7. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company determined the fair values disclosed below using available market information and discounted cash flow analyses as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The discount rate used in calculating fair value is the sum of the current risk free rate and the risk premium on the date of measurement of the instruments or obligations. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and to develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize upon disposition. The use of different estimates and valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the fair value amounts shown. The Company believes that the carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 approximate the fair values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses.
The following are financial instruments for which the Company’s estimates of fair value differ from the carrying amounts (in thousands):

(a)
On January 30, 2015 the mortgage note was repaid. For further information regarding the mortgage note, see Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
The fair value of the Company's unsecured notes payable are categorized as Level 2 (as provided by the accounting standard for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). This is because the Company valued these instruments using quoted market prices as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. For the fair value of the Company's unsecured notes, the Company uses a discount rate based on the indicative new issue pricing provided by lenders.
The fair value of the Company's mortgage notes payable, variable rate debt and mortgage note receivable are all categorized at a Level 3 basis (as provided by the accounting standard for Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The fair value of the variable rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis valuation on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and maturities, as applicable. The fair value of the mortgage debt was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a blended market rate for loans with similar terms, maturities and loan-to-value. The fair value of the mortgage note receivable was determined by using the expected cash flows of the notes receivable, and discounting those cash flows using the market rate of interest for mortgage notes with a comparable level of risk. These financial instruments have been categorized as Level 3 because the Company considers the rates used in the valuation techniques to be unobservable inputs.
For the Company's mortgage loans, the Company uses an estimate based on its knowledge of the mortgage market. The weighted average discount rate for the combined variable rate debt and mortgage loans used to calculate fair value as of March 31, 2015 was 4.7%. An increase in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in a decrease to the fair value of the Company's long-term debt. Conversely, a decrease in the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model would result in an increase to the fair value of the Company's long-term debt.
Disclosure about the fair value of financial instruments is based upon pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2015, and current estimates of fair value may differ from the amounts presented herein.
8. LIMITED PARTNERS' NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS IN THE PARENT COMPANY
Non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements relate to redeemable common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership held by parties other than the Parent Company and properties which are consolidated but not wholly owned.
Operating Partnership
The aggregate book value of the non-controlling interests associated with the redeemable common limited partnership interests in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of the Parent Company as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $17.3 million and $17.5 million, respectively. Under the applicable accounting guidance, the redemption value of limited partnership units are carried at, on a limited partner basis, the greater of historical cost adjusted for the allocation of income and distributions or fair value. The Parent Company believes that the aggregate settlement value of these interests (based on the number of units outstanding and the closing price of the common shares on the balance sheet dates) was approximately $24.5 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Unvested restricted shares are considered participating securities which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, earnings representing nonforfeitable dividends as noted in the table above were allocated to the unvested restricted shares issued to the Company’s executives and other employees under the Company's shareholder-approved long-term incentive plan.

Common and Preferred Shares
On March 11, 2015, the Parent Company declared a distribution of $0.15 per common share, totaling $27.3 million, which was paid on April 20, 2015 to shareholders of record as of April 6, 2015. In addition, the Parent Company declared distributions on its Series E Preferred Shares to holders of record as of March 30, 2015. These shares are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. Distributions paid on April 15, 2015 to holders of Series E Preferred Shares totaled $1.7 million.
On November 5, 2013, the Parent Company commenced a continuous equity offering program (the “Offering Program”), under which it may sell, in at-the-market offerings, up to an aggregate amount of 16,000,000 common shares until November 5, 2016. The Parent Company may sell common shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Parent Company. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Parent Company, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common shares and determinations by the Parent Company of the appropriate sources of funding. Sales agents engaged by the Parent Company under the Offering Program are entitled to receive, as compensation and in aggregate, up to 2% of the gross sales price per share sold under the Offering Program. From inception of the Offering Program through March 31, 2015, the Parent Company had not sold any shares under the program, leaving 16,000,000 remaining shares available for sale.

11. SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
Restricted Share Awards
As of March 31, 2015, 670,912 restricted shares were outstanding under the Parent Company's shareholder approved equity incentive plan and vest over three years from the initial grant dates. The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at March 31, 2015 was approximately $3.5 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.8 years. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized compensation expense related to outstanding restricted shares of $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of which $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, were capitalized as part of the Company’s review of employee salaries eligible for capitalization.
The following table summarizes the Company’s restricted share activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015:

On February 23, 2015 and March 10, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees awarded restricted shares, of which 119,136 cliff vest after three years from the grant date and 33,649 vest ratably over two years. Restricted shares that cliff vest are subject to acceleration upon a change in control or if the recipient of the award were to die, become disabled or, in certain cases, retire in a qualifying retirement. Qualifying retirement generally means the recipient’s voluntary termination of employment after reaching at least age 57 and accumulating at least 15 years of service with the Company. In accordance with the accounting standard for stock-based compensation, the Company amortizes stock-based compensation costs through the qualifying retirement dates for those executives who meet the conditions for qualifying retirement during the scheduled vesting period.
Restricted Performance Share Units Plan
The Compensation Committee of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees has granted performance share-based awards (referred to as Restricted Performance Share Units, or RPSUs) to officers of the Parent Company. The RPSUs are settled in common shares, with the number of common shares issuable at settlement determined based on the Company’s total shareholder return over specified measurement periods compared to total shareholder returns of comparative groups over the measurement periods. The table below presents certain information as to RPSU awards.

The Company values each RPSU on its grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair values of each award are being amortized over the three year cliff vesting period. The vesting of RPSUs is subject to acceleration upon a change in control or if the recipient of the award were to die, become disabled or retire in a qualifying retirement prior to the vesting date. In accordance with the accounting standard for stock-based compensation, the Company amortizes stock-based compensation costs through the


23




qualifying retirement date for those executives who meet the conditions for qualifying retirement during the scheduled vesting period.
For the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2015, 2014 and 2013 RPSU awards of $2.4 million, of which $0.5 million, was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized total compensation expense for the 2014, 2013 and 2012 RPSU awards of $1.7 million, of which $0.4 million was capitalized consistent with the Company’s policies for capitalizing eligible portions of employee compensation.
The remaining compensation expense to be recognized at March 31, 2015 was approximately $3.8 million, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 1.7 years.
In settlement of RPSUs that had been awarded on March 1, 2012 (with a three-year measurement period ended December 31, 2014), 468,056 share units vested on February 1, 2015. Holders of these RPSUs also received a cash dividend of $0.15 per share unit on February 6, 2015.

Net operating income (“NOI”) is defined as total revenue less property operating expenses, real estate taxes and third party management expenses. Segment NOI includes revenue, real estate taxes and property operating expenses directly related to operation and management of the properties owned and managed within the respective geographical region. Segment NOI excludes property level depreciation and amortization, revenue and expenses directly associated with third party real estate management services, expenses associated with corporate administrative support services, and inter-company eliminations. NOI also does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs. Trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact the Company’s results from operations are also not reflected in NOI. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. NOI is the measure that is used by the Company to evaluate the operating performance of its real estate assets by segment. The Company also believes that NOI provides useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expenses recorded at the property level. The Company believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. The following is a reconciliation of consolidated NOI to consolidated net income (loss), as defined by GAAP:

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved from time to time in litigation on various matters, including disputes with tenants and disputes arising out of agreements to purchase or sell properties. Given the nature of the Company’s business activities, these lawsuits are considered routine to the conduct of its business. The result of any particular lawsuit cannot be predicted, because of the very nature of litigation, the litigation process and its adversarial nature, and the jury system. The Company will establish reserves for specific legal proceedings when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and when the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. The Company does not expect that the liabilities, if any, may ultimately result from any current legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, the Company is subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. The Company’s compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of operations, and the Company does not believe it will have a material adverse effect in the future. However, the Company cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on its current Properties or on properties that the Company may acquire.

Ground Rent
Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground leases under which the Company is the lessee are expensed on a straight-line basis regardless of when payments are due. The Company’s ground leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 7 to 75 years. Minimum future rental payments on non-cancelable leases at March 31, 2015 are as follows (in thousands):

The Company obtained ground tenancy rights related to two properties in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which provide for contingent rent participation by the lessor in certain capital transactions and net operating cash flows of the properties after certain returns are achieved by the Company. Such amounts, if any, will be reflected as contingent rent when incurred. The leases also provide for payment by the Company of certain operating costs relating to the land, primarily real estate taxes. The above schedule of future minimum rental payments does not include any contingent rent amounts or any reimbursed expenses. Reference is made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for further detail regarding commitments and contingencies.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Delaware Dispositions
On April 24, 2015, the Company sold two properties totaling 200,275 rentable square feet known as Delaware Corporate Center I and II in Wilmington, Delaware and three properties totaling 284,907 rentable square feet known as Christiana Corporate Center in Newark, Delaware for a total sales price of $50.1 million resulting in an estimated gain on sale of $1.7 million after closing and other related transaction costs. In order to comply with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines the Company has prepared unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. See Item 5., "Other Information."
Lake Merritt Tower Disposition
On April 9, 2015 the Company sold the Lake Merritt Tower for a sale price of $65.0 million (See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," for discussion of impairment). The loss on sale, including closing costs, approximated the impairment loss recorded as of March 31, 2015.
25 M Street Acquisition
On April 6, 2015, the Company acquired a 0.8 acre parcel of land at 25 M Street in Washington, D.C. for $20.0 million.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other materials filed by us with the SEC (as well as information included in oral or other written statements made by us) contain statements that are forward-looking, including statements relating to business and real estate development activities, acquisitions, dispositions, future capital expenditures, financing sources, governmental regulation (including environmental regulation) and competition. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions of the 1995 Act. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be achieved. As forward-looking statements, these statements involve important risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results and, accordingly, such results may differ from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include, but are not limited to:

the continuing impact of modest global economic growth, which is having and may have a negative effect on the following, among other things:
the fundamentals of our business, including overall market occupancy, demand for office space and rental rates;
the financial condition of our tenants, many of which are financial, legal and other professional firms, our lenders, counterparties to our derivative financial instruments and institutions that hold our cash balances and short-term investments, which may expose us to increased risks of default by these parties;
the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our future interest expense and our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt; and
a decline in real estate asset valuations, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing secured by our properties or on an unsecured basis.
changes in local real estate conditions (including changes in rental rates and the number of properties that compete with our properties);
our failure to lease unoccupied space in accordance with our projections;
our failure to re-lease occupied space upon expiration of leases;
tenant defaults and the bankruptcy of major tenants;
increases in interest rates;
failure of interest rate hedging contracts to perform as expected and the effectiveness of such arrangements;
failure of acquisitions to perform as expected;
unanticipated costs associated with the acquisition, integration and operation of our acquisitions;
unanticipated costs to complete, lease-up and operate our developments and redevelopments;
unanticipated costs associated with land development, including building moratoriums and inability to obtain necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental approvals, construction cost increases or overruns and construction delays;
impairment charges;
increased costs for, or lack of availability of, adequate insurance, including for terrorist acts or environmental liabilities;
actual or threatened terrorist attacks;
the impact on workplace and tenant space demands driven by technology, employee culture and commuting patterns;
demand for tenant services beyond those traditionally provided by landlords;
liability and clean-up costs under environmental or other laws;
failure or bankruptcy of real estate venture partners;
inability of real estate venture partners to fund venture obligations or perform under our real estate venture development agreements;
failure to manage effectively our growth into new product types within our real estate venture arrangements;
failure of dispositions to close in a timely manner;
failure of buyers of our properties to comply with terms of their financing agreements to us;
earthquakes and other natural disasters;
the unforeseen impact of climate change and compliance costs relating to laws and regulations governing climate change;
risks associated with federal, state and local tax audits;
complex regulations relating to our status as a REIT and the adverse consequences of our failure to qualify as a REIT; and


28




the impact of newly adopted accounting principles on our accounting policies and on period-to-period comparisons of financial results.
Given these uncertainties, and the other risks identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events.
The discussion that follows is based primarily on our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 and should be read along with the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. The ability to compare one period to another may be significantly affected by acquisitions completed, development properties placed in service and dispositions made during those periods.
OVERVIEW
As of March 31, 2015, we owned 198 properties that contain an aggregate of approximately 24.9 million net rentable square feet and consist of 161 office properties, 20 industrial facilities, five mixed-use properties, one retail property (187 core properties), six properties classified as held for sale, three development properties, one redevelopment property and one re-entitlement property (collectively, the "Properties"). In addition, as of March 31, 2015, we owned economic interests in 17 unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures that contain approximately 6.7 million net rentable square feet (collectively, the "Real Estate Ventures"). In addition to managing properties that we own, as of March 31, 2015, we were managing approximately 8.9 million net rentable square feet of office and industrial properties for third parties and Real Estate Ventures.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, we were managing our portfolio within seven segments: (1) Pennsylvania Suburbs, (2) Philadelphia CBD, (3) Metropolitan Washington, D.C., (4) New Jersey/Delaware, (5) Richmond, Virginia, (6) Austin, Texas and (7) California. The Pennsylvania Suburbs segment includes properties in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties in the Philadelphia suburbs. The Philadelphia CBD segment includes properties located in the City of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. The Metropolitan Washington, D.C. segment includes properties in Northern Virginia and southern Maryland. The New Jersey/Delaware segment includes properties in Burlington and Camden counties in New Jersey and in New Castle county in the state of Delaware. The Richmond, Virginia segment includes properties primarily in Albemarle, Chesterfield, Goochland and Henrico counties and one property in Durham, North Carolina. The Austin, Texas segment includes properties in the City of Austin, Texas. The California segment includes properties in Oakland, Concord and Carlsbad. Our corporate group is responsible for cash and investment management, development of certain real estate properties during the construction period, and certain other general support functions.
We generate cash and revenue from leases of space at our properties and, to a lesser extent, from the management of properties owned by third parties and from investments in the Real Estate Ventures. Factors that we evaluate when leasing space include rental rates, costs of tenant improvements, tenant creditworthiness, current and expected operating costs, the length of the lease term, vacancy levels and demand for office and industrial space. We also generate cash through sales of assets, including assets that we do not view as core to our portfolio, either because of location or expected growth potential, and assets that are commanding premium prices from third party investors.
Our financial and operating performance is dependent upon the demand for office, industrial and other commercial space in our markets, our leasing results, our acquisition, disposition and development activity, our financing activity, our cash requirements and economic and market conditions, including prevailing interest rates.
Adverse changes in economic conditions could reduce the availability of financing and potentially increase borrowing costs. Vacancy rates may increase, and rental rates may decline, through 2015 and possibly beyond as the economic climate contains demand for commercial space and negatively impact tenants.
Overall economic conditions, including but not limited to high unemployment and deteriorating financial and credit markets, could have a dampening effect on the fundamentals of our business, including increases in past due accounts, tenant defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. These conditions would negatively affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. We believe that the quality of our assets and our strong balance sheet will enable us to raise debt capital, if necessary, in various forms and from different sources, including traditional term or secured loans from banks, pension funds and life insurance companies. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to borrow funds on terms that are economically attractive or at all.
We continue to seek revenue growth throughout our portfolio by increasing occupancy and rental rates. Occupancy at our core properties at March 31, 2015 was 90.3% compared to 91.4% at December 31, 2014.

Calculated on a weighted average basis.
In seeking to increase revenue through our operating, financing and investment activities, we also seek to minimize operating risks, including (i) tenant rollover risk, (ii) tenant credit risk and (iii) development risk.
Tenant Rollover Risk:
We are subject to the risk that tenant leases, upon expiration, will not be renewed, that space may not be relet, or that the terms of renewal or reletting (including the cost of renovations) may be less favorable to us than the current lease terms. Leases that accounted for approximately 3.3% of our aggregate final annualized base rents as of March 31, 2015 (representing approximately 4.5% of the net rentable square feet of the Properties) are scheduled to expire without penalty in 2015. We maintain an active dialogue with our tenants in an effort to maximize lease renewals. In our core portfolio the retention rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 was 72.8% compared to a retention rate of 71.4% for the year ended December 31, 2014. Rental rates on leases expiring during 2015 did not deviate significantly from market renewal rates in the regions in which we operate. If we are unable to renew leases or relet space under expiring leases, at anticipated rental rates, or if tenants terminate their leases early, our cash flow would be adversely impacted.
Tenant Credit Risk:
In the event of a tenant default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as a landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. Our management regularly evaluates our accounts receivable reserve policy in light of our tenant base and general and local economic conditions. Our accounts receivable allowance was $15.6 million or 9.0% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivables) as of March 31, 2015 compared to $15.3 million or 9.1% of total receivables (including accrued rent receivables) as of December 31, 2014.
If economic conditions persist or deteriorate further, we may experience increases in past due accounts, defaults, lower occupancy and reduced effective rents. This condition would negatively affect our future net income and cash flows and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.


30




Development Risk:

Development projects are subject to a variety of risks, including construction delays, construction cost overruns, inability to obtain financing on favorable terms, inability to lease space at projected rates, inability to enter into construction, development and other agreements on favorable terms, and unexpected environmental and other hazards.
As of March 31, 2015, the following development properties and joint venture development projects remain under construction (in thousands, except square footage/acreage and number of buildings):

(a)
Relates to construction of garage only; building construction to commence upon reaching certain pre-leasing levels.

Reference is made to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for project overviews, as well as risks associated with these development projects. See Item 2., "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Commitments and Contingencies" for contractual commitments relating to our ongoing development projects.

Land Holdings

As of March 31, 2015, we owned approximately 415 acres of undeveloped land, and held options to purchase approximately 63 additional acres of undeveloped land. As market conditions warrant, we will seek to opportunistically dispose of those parcels that we do not anticipate developing. For parcels of land that we ultimately develop, we will be subject to risks and costs associated with land development, including building moratoriums and the inability to obtain necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other required governmental approvals, construction cost increases or overruns and construction delays, and insufficient occupancy rates and rental rates. As of March 31, 2015, the total potential development that these land parcels could support amounted to 6.0 million square feet.

Impairments and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets for impairment following the end of each quarter and when there is an event or change in circumstances that indicates an impairment in value. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. In such case, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results in future periods. Since cash flows on properties considered to be “long-lived assets to be held and used” are considered on an undiscounted basis to determine whether an asset has been impaired, our established strategy of holding properties over the long term directly decreases the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. If our holding strategy were to change or if market conditions were to otherwise dictate an earlier sale date, then an impairment loss may be recognized and such loss could be material. If we determine that impairment has occurred, the affected assets must be reduced to their fair value.

Our equity method investments, primarily our investment in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures, may be adversely affected by changes in the real estate markets in which they operate. We report our equity method investments on the balance sheet at cost. As required under accounting rules, we periodically evaluate and assess our equity method investments for other than temporary impairment. We generally use a combination of comparable market sales and independent broker quotes in valuing our equity method investments. However, such sales and quoted data and other market information can vary, even for the same properties. To the extent that the real estate markets deteriorate, it could result in a decline in the fair value of our equity method investments that are other-than-temporary and, we may realize losses that never materialize or we may fail to recognize losses in the appropriate period. Rapidly changing conditions in the real estate markets in which we operate increase the complexity of valuing our equity method investments and our judgments and methodologies materially impact the valuation of the investments as reported in our financial statements.
RECENT PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS
Dispositions
On January 8, 2015, we sold two office properties known as Atrium I, which includes 99,668 square feet of rentable space located in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, and Libertyview, which includes 121,737 square feet of rentable space located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, for a total sales price of $28.3 million resulting in a gain on sale of $9.0 million after closing and other transaction related costs.
Held for Sale
On April 9, 2015, we sold the Lake Merritt Tower, consisting of 204,336 rentable square feet, located in Oakland, California for a sale price of $65.0 million. See Note 14, "Subsequent Events," to our consolidated financial statements for further information regarding this disposition. As of March 31, 2015, we categorized this property as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets. At such date, the carrying value of the property exceeds the fair value less the costs of sale. As a result, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $1.7 million, which approximates the cost of sale, during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
As of March 31, 2015, we classified two properties, totaling 200,275 rentable square feet, known as Delaware Corporate Center I and II in Wilmington, Delaware and three properties, totaling 284,907 rentable square feet, known as Christiana Corporate Center in Newark, Delaware as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting standards for long lived assets.
The impairment loss on the Lake Merritt Tower and operating results of these properties remain classified within continuing operations for all periods presented.
DRA - PA Venture
On December 19, 2007, we formed G&I Interchange Office LLC, a real estate venture (the “Venture”) with G&I VI Investment Interchange Office LLC (“G&I VI”), an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC. The Venture included interests in 29 office properties which were located in various counties in Pennsylvania, containing an aggregate of 1,611,961 net rentable square feet. In connection with the formation, we retained a 20% ownership interest in the Venture and transferred an 80% interest in the Venture to G&I IV.
On February 27, 2015, the Venture entered into a forbearance agreement with an unaffiliated third party lender because it will not repay the $174.2 million outstanding nonrecourse mortgage balance that matured on January 1, 2015. The forbearance agreement extended the maturity date of the mortgage loan to July 31, 2015 and contains, at the lender’s option, a 60-day extension option.


32




The lender has the exclusive right to sell the properties to a third-party purchaser during the forbearance period. The net proceeds received from the sale of the properties will be provided to the lender. If the properties are not sold during the forbearance period the Venture’s assets will be foreclosed on by the lender.
As of the date of the forbearance agreement, we do not have an investment basis in the venture because of a basis adjustment recorded at formation. We are not obligated to fund any of the losses incurred by the Venture and, as a result, have not recognized losses in excess of our invested capital balance.
Austin Venture
On January 30, 2015, the Austin Venture closed on a mortgage loan with a non-affiliated institutional lender, and the proceeds of this loan were applied to repay in full our $88.0 million short-term loan related to the acquisition of River Place. For further information regarding this acquisition, see Note 4, "Investment In Unconsolidated Ventures," included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
We continually assess our portfolio in light of our strategic and economic considerations to determine whether to sell properties in the portfolio. Sales of properties, and determinations to hold properties for sale, may result in an impairment or other loss, and such loss could be material to our statement of operations.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discuss our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Certain accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as they require management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made and changes in accounting estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Management bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and current economic conditions. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions including those related to revenue, impairment of long-lived assets and the allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies since December 31, 2014. See also Note 2, "Basis of Presentation," in our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 set forth herein. Management discusses our critical accounting policies and management’s judgments and estimates with our Audit Committee.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is based on our Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. We believe that presentation of our consolidated financial information, without a breakdown by segment, will effectively present important information useful to our investors.
Net operating income (“NOI”) as presented in the comparative analysis below is defined as revenue less property operating expenses, real estate taxes and third party management expenses. Property operating expenses that are included in determining NOI consist of costs that are necessary and allocable to our operating properties such as utilities, property-level salaries, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, management fees and bad debt expense. General and administrative expenses that are not reflected in NOI primarily consist of corporate-level salaries, amortization of share awards and professional fees that are incurred as part of corporate office management. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use internally to evaluate the operating performance of our real estate assets by segment, as presented in Note 12, "Segment Information," to the consolidated financial statements, and of our business as a whole. We believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. While NOI is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. NOI does not reflect interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs. We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. See Note 12, "Segment Information," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of NOI to our consolidated net income (loss).

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014
The table below shows selected operating information for the “Same Store Property Portfolio” and the “Total Portfolio.” The Same Store Property Portfolio consists of 185 properties containing an aggregate of approximately 22.4 million net rentable square feet, and represents properties that we owned for the entire three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The Same Store Property Portfolio includes properties acquired or placed in service on or prior to January 1, 2014 and owned through March 31, 2015. The Total Portfolio includes the effects of other properties that were either placed into service, acquired or redeveloped after January 1, 2014 or disposed prior to March 31, 2015. A property is excluded from our Same Store Property Portfolio and moved into the redevelopment column in the period that we determine that a redevelopment would be the best use of the asset, and when said asset is taken out of service or is undergoing re-entitlement for a future development strategy. This table also includes a reconciliation from the Same Store Property Portfolio to the Total Portfolio net income (i.e., all properties owned by us during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014) by providing information for the properties which were acquired, placed into service, under development or redevelopment and administrative/elimination information for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands).
The Total Portfolio net income presented in the table is equal to the net income of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
(a)
Results include: two properties completed/acquired and placed in service.
(b)
Results include: three developments, one redevelopment and one re-entitlement property.
(c)
Represents certain revenues and expenses at the corporate level as well as various intercompany costs that are eliminated in consolidation and third-party management fees. It also includes properties sold that do not qualify as discontinued operations.


35




(d)
Pertains to properties that are part of our core portfolio (i.e. not under development, redevelopment, or re-entitlement).
Total Revenue
Cash rents from the Total Portfolio decreased by $3.4 million during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily attributable to a:

$0.4 million increase in the Recently Completed Portfolio for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014;
$1.5 million decrease related to the sale of the Valleybrooke properties in Malvern, Pennsylvania during the fourth quarter of 2014;
$0.9 million decrease related to the sale of Campus Pointe in Reston, Virginia during the third quarter of 2014;
$0.7 million decrease related to the contribution of Four Points Centre in Austin, Texas to the Austin Venture during the second quarter of 2014; and
$0.7 million decrease related to the sale of the Atrium and Libertyview properties during the first quarter of 2015.
Straight-line rents increased by $2.7 million on a consolidated basis due to increased leasing activity and the timing of revenue recognition under the straight-line method of accounting.
Tenant reimbursements from the Total Portfolio decreased by $0.8 million, which trended along with the decrease in operating expenses over the same period. Expense recoveries remained consistent with a reimbursement percentage of 38.3% during the first quarter of 2015 compared to 38.9% in the first quarter of 2014.
Termination fees at our Total Portfolio decreased by $1.6 million due to timing and volume of tenant early terminations during the first quarter of 2015 when compared to the first quarter of 2014.
Third party management fees, labor reimbursement and leasing decreased $0.3 million during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 which is primarily attributable to a decrease in leasing commissions received from unconsolidated joint ventures.
Other income increased $2.2 million during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, which is primarily attributable to; (i) $1.1 million of recognized real estate tax assessment adjustments, (ii) $0.6 million in liquidating distributions from an unconsolidated partnership investment and (iii) $0.5 million related to other income across our portfolio.
Property Operating Expenses
Property operating expenses across our Total Portfolio decreased $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily attributable to a: (i) $0.4 million decrease related to the sale of the Valleybrooke properties during the fourth quarter of 2014, (ii) $0.4 million decrease related to the sale of Campus Pointe during the third quarter of 2014, (iii) $0.3 million decrease related to the contribution of Four Points Centre to the Austin Venture during the second quarter of 2014 and (iv) $0.4 million decrease related to the sale of the Atrium and Libertyview properties during the first quarter of 2015. These and other decreases were offset by a: (i) $0.8 million increase in repairs and maintenance expenses based on the timing of tenant needs, (ii) $0.3 million increase in payroll expenses and (iii) $0.2 million increase in state and local taxes.
Real Estate Taxes
Real estate taxes across our Total Portfolio decreased by $0.9 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily attributable to: (i) $0.1 million decrease related to the sale of the Valleybrooke properties during the fourth quarter of 2014, (ii) $0.1 million decrease related to the sale of Campus Pointe during the third quarter of 2014, (iii) $0.3 million decrease related to the contribution of Four Points Centre to the Austin Venture during the second quarter of 2014 and (iv) $0.2 million decrease related to the sale of the Atrium and Libertyview properties during the first quarter of 2015.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses across our Total Portfolio increased $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily attributable to the increase in stock-based compensation costs compared to the prior year which is directly attributable to the timing of recognizing accelerated amortization of such compensation of our executive personnel meeting qualifying retirement provisions.


36




Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense across our Total Portfolio decreased by $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014, primarily attributable to a: (i) $0.6 million decrease related to the sale of the Valleybrooke properties during the fourth quarter of 2014, (ii) $0.4 million decrease related to the sale of Campus Pointe during the third quarter of 2014, (iii) $0.7 million decrease related to the contribution of Four Points Centre to the Austin Venture during the second quarter of 2014 and (iv) $0.9 million decrease related to the sale of the Atrium and Libertyview properties during the first quarter of 2015. These decreases were offset by $1.1 million, primarily attributable to additional depreciation expense from increased tenant improvements and accelerations related to early lease terminations.
Interest Expense
The decrease in interest expense of $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2015 from the first quarter of 2014 is primarily due to the following decreases:
$1.5 million related to an increase in capitalized interest which is directly attributable to increased development activity compared to the first quarter of 2014;
$0.7 million due to the repayment of our $150.0 million three-year term loan due February 2015, in the third quarter of 2014;
$0.5 million due to the repayment of our $100.0 million four-year term loan due February 2016, in the third quarter of 2014;
$0.2 million due to the termination of interest rate swap contracts associated with our $100.0 million four-year term loan due February 2016;
$3.0 million due to repurchases of $75.1 million and $143.5 million, in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively, of our 5.400% Guaranteed Notes due 2014;
$3.0 million due to repurchases of $42.7 million and $114.9 million, in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, of our 7.500% Guaranteed Notes due 2015; and
$0.4 million related to mortgage interest expense.

These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $5.6 million related to the September 2014 issuance of $250.0 million in principal amount of 4.10% Guaranteed Notes due 2024 and $250.0 million in principal amount of 4.55% Guaranteed Notes due 2029.

Interest Income

Interest income increased $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2015 from the first quarter of 2014 primarily due to the $88.0 million short term loan to the Austin Venture that was outstanding for part of the first quarter of 2015. This short term loan was not outstanding during the first quarter of 2014. See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures."
Net Gain on Disposition of Real Estate
The $9.0 million net gain on disposition of real estate resulted from the sale of two office properties during the first quarter of 2015 known as Atrium I, located in Mt Laurel, New Jersey, and Libertyview, located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. There were no operating property dispositions during the first quarter of 2014.
Net Gain on Sale of Undepreciated Real Estate
The $1.2 million gain during the first quarter of 2014 relates to sale of an undeveloped land parcel, with no such dispositions during the first quarter of 2015.
Provision for Impairment on Assets Held for Sale
As of March 31, 2015, the carrying value of the Lake Merritt office property exceeded the fair value less the costs of sale and, as a result, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $1.7 million, which approximates the cost of sale, during the first quarter of 2015. See Note 3, "Real Estate Investments," for further information related to the impairment.

Net Income
Net income increased by $10.8 million during the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 as a result of the factors described above. Net income is significantly impacted by depreciation of operating properties and amortization of acquired intangibles. These non-cash charges do not directly affect our ability to pay dividends. Amortization of acquired intangibles will continue over the related lease terms or estimated duration of the tenant relationships.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Our principal liquidity needs for the next twelve months are as follows:
fund normal recurring expenses,
fund capital expenditures, including capital and tenant improvements and leasing costs,
fund repayment of certain debt instruments when they mature,
fund current development and redevelopment costs,
fund commitments to unconsolidated real estate ventures, and
fund distributions to shareholders to maintain REIT status.
As of March 31, 2015, the Parent Company owned a 99.1% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining interest of approximately 0.9% pertains to common limited partnership interests owned by non-affiliated investors who contributed property to the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full and complete responsibility for the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day operations and management. The Parent Company’s source of funding for its dividend payments and other obligations is the distributions it receives from the Operating Partnership.
We believe that our liquidity needs will be satisfied through available cash balances and cash flows generated by operations, financing activities and selective property sales. Rental revenue, expense recoveries from tenants, and other income from operations are our principal sources of cash to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures and the minimum distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining quality standards for our properties that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. Our revenue also includes third-party fees generated by our property management, leasing, development and construction businesses. We believe that our revenue, together with proceeds from property sales and debt financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term liquidity needs. However, material changes in our operating or financing activities may adversely affect our net cash flows. With uncertain economic conditions, vacancy rates may increase, effective rental rates on new and renewed leases may decrease and tenant installation costs, including concessions, may increase in most or all of our markets throughout 2015 and possibly beyond. As a result, our revenues and cash flows could be insufficient to cover operating expenses, including increased tenant installation costs, pay debt service or make distributions to shareholders over the short-term. If this situation were to occur, we expect that we would finance cash deficits through borrowings under our unsecured credit facility and other sources of debt and equity financings. In addition, a material adverse change in cash provided by operations could adversely affect our compliance with financial performance covenants under our unsecured credit facility, including our unsecured term loans, and under our unsecured notes. As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants and requirement obligations.
We use multiple sources to finance our long-term capital needs. When needed, we use borrowings under our unsecured credit facility for general business purposes, including to meet debt maturities and to fund distributions to shareholders as well as development and acquisition costs and other expenses from time to time as necessary. In light of the continuing volatility in financial markets and economic uncertainties, it is possible, that one or more lenders under our unsecured revolving credit facility could fail to fund a borrowing request. Such an event could adversely affect our ability to access funds from our unsecured credit facility when needed to fund distributions or pay expenses.
Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent upon a number of factors, including our credit ratings, the value of our unencumbered assets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions imposed by our lenders. If one or more rating agencies were to downgrade our unsecured credit rating, our access to the unsecured debt market would be more limited and the interest rate under our unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans would increase.


38




The Parent Company unconditionally guarantees the Operating Partnership’s secured and unsecured obligations, which, as of March 31, 2015, amounted to $652.3 million and $1,803.5 million, respectively.
We maintain a shelf registration statement that has registered the offering and sale of common shares, preferred shares, depositary shares, warrants and unsecured debt securities. Subject to our ongoing compliance with securities laws, and if warranted by market conditions, we may offer and sell equity and debt securities from time to time under the shelf registration statement. We also maintain a continuous offering program under which we may sell up to 16,000,000 common shares until November 5, 2016 in at-the-market offerings.
The Parent Company, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, also issues equity from time to time, the proceeds of which it contributes to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional interests in the Operating Partnership, and guarantees debt obligations of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company’s ability to sell common shares and preferred shares is dependent on, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about the Company as a whole and the current trading price of the Parent Company's shares.
We also consider sales of selected properties as another source of managing our liquidity. We use proceeds from asset sales, as appropriate, to repay existing indebtedness, provide capital for our development activities and to strengthen our financial condition. See Item 2. "Recent Property Transactions" for disclosure of current year dispositions.
Cash Flows
The following discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statement of cash flows and is not meant to be a comprehensive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented.
As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of $309.1 million and $257.5 million, respectively. The following are the changes in cash flow from our activities for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

Our principal source of cash flows is from the operation of our properties. We do not restate our cash flows for discontinued operations.
The net decrease of $4.8 million in cash from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to the timing of cash receipts and cash expenditures in the normal course of operations.
The net increase of $86.7 million in cash from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of $14.0 million in funds used for acquisitions, driven by the purchase of a development project in Austin, Texas known as Encino Trace during the three months ended March 31, 2014, with no such acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2015;
an increase of $23.4 million of net proceeds from the sale of two properties during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the sale of one land parcel during the three months ended March 31, 2014 (See Item 2., "Recent Property Transactions");
an increase of $86.8 million in payments on the mortgage note receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to the repayment of the short term loan to the Austin Venture (See Note 4, "Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures," to our consolidated financial statements); and
an increase of $1.2 million in escrow cash due to timing of payments.


39




The increase in cash from investing activities was offset by the following transactions:
an increase in capital expenditures for tenant and building improvements and leasing commissions by $22.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily attributed to the development of the FMC Tower at Cira Centre South and Encino Trace (For further information on development projects see Item 1., "Developments," included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and Item 2., "Development Risk," included in this Form 10-Q);
a decrease in advances made for purchase of tenant assets, net of repayments of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014;
an increase of $10.2 million of investments in unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures primarily due to contributions for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $3.4 million to the DRA Austin real estate venture, $5.1 million to the 4040 Wilson real estate venture, $1.9 million to Brandywine 1919 Ventures and $0.6 million to the HSRE-Campus Crest real estate venture compared to the $0.8 million contribution to the 4040 Wilson real estate venture during the three months ended March 31, 2014;
an increase in expenditures for deposits on real estate acquisitions of $5.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 primarily attributed to the acquisition of a land parcel located in Washington D.C. (For further information on the land parcel acquired See Note 14, "Subsequent Events," to our consolidated financial statements); and
a decrease of $0.3 million in cash distributions in excess of cumulative equity in income from Real Estate Ventures during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.
The net increase of $3.4 million in cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 is primarily attributable to the following:
an increase of $0.2 million in repayments of mortgage notes payable during three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014; and
an increase in distributions paid to shareholders and on non-controlling interests to $28.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $25.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014 resulting from the Parent Company issuance of 21,850,000 common shares during the third quarter of 2014.
The net increase in cash used in financing activities described above was partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The indenture under which the Operating Partnership issued its unsecured notes contains financial covenants, including (i) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (ii) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40%, (iii) a debt service coverage ratio of greater than 1.5 to 1.0 and (iv) an unencumbered asset value of not less than 150% of unsecured debt. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2015.

The Operating Partnership has mortgage loans that are collateralized by certain of its properties. Payments on mortgage loans are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest, or interest only. The Operating Partnership intends to refinance or repay its mortgage loans as they mature through the use of proceeds from selective property sales and secured or unsecured borrowings. However, in the current and expected future economic environment one or more of these sources may not be available on attractive terms or at all.
The charter documents of the Parent Company and Operating Partnership do not limit the amount or form of indebtedness that the Operating Partnership may incur, and its policies on debt incurrence are solely within the discretion of the Parent Company’s Board of Trustees, subject to the financial covenants in the Credit Facility, indenture and other credit agreements.
Equity
On March 11, 2015, the Parent Company declared a distribution of $0.15 per common share, totaling $27.3 million, which it paid on April 20, 2015 to its shareholders of record as of April 6, 2015. In addition, the Parent Company declared a distribution on its Series E Preferred Shares to holders of record as of March 30, 2015. These shares are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per share liquidation preference. Distributions paid on April 15, 2015 to holders of Series E Preferred Shares totaled $1.7 million. To fund this distribution, on March 11, 2015, the Operating Partnership declared distributions on its Series E-Linked Preferred Mirror Units to holders of record as of March 30, 2015. These units are entitled to a preferential return of 6.90% per annum on the $25.00 per unit liquidation preference. Distributions paid on April 15, 2015 to holders of Series E-Linked Preferred Mirror Units totaled $1.7 million. In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Parent Company is required to, among other things, pay dividends to its shareholders of at least 90% of its REIT taxable income.
The Parent Company also maintains a continuous offering program (the "Offering Program"), under which we may sell up to an aggregate amount of 16,000,000 common shares until November 5, 2016 in at the market offerings. This program was put in place on November 5, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we did not sell any shares under the Offering Program and 16,000,000 remained available.
The Parent Company maintains a share repurchase program under which its Board of Trustees has authorized the Parent Company to repurchase common shares from time to time in accordance with the limits set by the Board of Trustees. As of March 31, 2015, there were 539,200 shares available for repurchase under this program. The Parent Company did not repurchase any shares during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. The Parent Company’s Board of Trustees has not limited the duration of the program and the program may be terminated at any time.
Inflation
A majority of our leases provide for tenant reimbursement of real estate taxes and operating expenses either on a triple net basis or over a base amount. In addition, many of our office leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases in expenses will be partially offset by expense reimbursement and contractual rent increases.

As of March 31, 2015, we were obligated to pay a maximum of $90.5 million for tenant improvements not yet completed, which is not included in the above table. We expect that most of the obligations will be paid within one year.
Funds from Operations (FFO)
Pursuant to the revised definition of FFO adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), we calculate FFO by adjusting net income/(loss) attributable to common unit holders (computed in accordance with GAAP) for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, impairment losses on depreciable consolidated real estate, impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures, real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Operating Partnership believes that the use of FFO combined with the required U.S. GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REITs’ operating results more meaningful. The Operating Partnership considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, FFO can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. The Operating Partnership’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently.
We consider net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, to be the most comparable earnings measure to FFO. While FFO and FFO per unit are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, FFO does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating the Company’s liquidity or operating performance. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared


43




with its reported net income/(loss) attributable to common unit holders and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income attributable to common unit holders to FFO for the three -month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and equity prices. In pursuing the Company’s business plan, the primary market risk to which it is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Company’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, the Company’s ability to make distributions or payments to its shareholders. While the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses, in the event of a significant rising interest rate environment and/or continued economic slowdown, defaults could increase and result in losses to the Company which would adversely affect its operating results and liquidity.
Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity Analysis
The analysis below presents the sensitivity of the market value of our financial instruments to selected changes in market rates. The range of changes chosen reflects the Company's view of changes which are reasonably possible over a one-year period. Market values are the present value of projected future cash flows based on the market rates chosen.
Our financial instruments consist of both fixed and variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2015, our consolidated debt consisted of $652.3 million of mortgage loans and $1,524.9 million of unsecured notes, all of which are fixed rate borrowings. As of March 31, 2015, we also have variable rate debt consisting of $78.6 million in trust preferred securities and $200.0 million of unsecured term loans all of which have been swapped to fixed. All financial instruments were entered into for other than trading purposes and the net market value of these financial instruments is referred to as the net financial position. Changes in interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable rate portions of our debt portfolio. A change in interest rates on the fixed portion of the debt portfolio impacts the net financial instrument position, but has no impact on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in interest rates on the variable portion of the debt portfolio impacts the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not impact the net financial instrument position.
If market rates of interest increase by 100 basis points, the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt would decrease by approximately $26.9 million. If market rates of interest decrease by 100 basis points, the fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate mortgage debt would increase by approximately $29.3 million.

As of March 31, 2015, based on prevailing interest rates and credit spreads, the fair value of our $1,518.4 million of unsecured notes was $1,584.5 million. For sensitivity purposes, a 100 basis point change in the discount rate equates to a change in the total fair value of our debt of approximately $15.2 million at March 31, 2015.
From time to time or as the need arises, we use derivative instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. The total carrying value of our variable rate debt (including variable swapped to fixed) was approximately $278.6 million at March 31, 2015. The total fair value of our debt was approximately $257.5 million at March 31, 2015. For sensitivity purposes, if market rates of interest increase by 100 basis points the fair value of our variable rate debt would decrease by approximately $15.7 million at March 31, 2015. If market rates of interest decrease by 100 basis points the fair value of our outstanding variable rate debt would increase by approximately $17.7 million.
These amounts were determined solely by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. Due to the uncertainty of specific actions we may undertake to minimize possible effects of market interest rate increases, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.
