2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on managements historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from managements estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of the accounting principles described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, among others.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that provides a single, comprehensive model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. While the new standard does not supersede the guidance on accounting for leases, it could change the way the Company recognizes revenue from construction and development contracts with third party customers. The new standard will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new revenue recognition standard on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On February 18, 2015, the FASB issued new consolidation guidance that changes: (i) the identification of variable interests, (ii) the variable interest entity (VIE) characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and (iii) primary beneficiary determination. The amended guidance also eliminates the presumption that a general partner controls a limited partnership. The amended guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
6
Current accounting guidance requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as an asset. On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued new guidance that requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the associated debt liability, consistent with the presentation of a debt discount, rather than as an asset. However, with respect to line of credit arrangements, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff have stated that they would not object to the presentation of issuance costs as an asset, regardless of whether there were any outstanding borrowings under such arrangements. The new guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2016 and will be applied on a retrospective basis. Management does not expect the adoption of the new guidance to have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations.
3. | Segments |
Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by the Companys chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. Net operating income is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, net operating income should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate net operating income in the same manner. The Company considers net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Companys real estate and construction businesses.
Net operating income of the Companys reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was as follows (in thousands):

On March 31, 2015, the Company purchased land held for development in the Town Center of Virginia Beach, Virginia for $1.2 million.
Operating Property Acquisitions
In connection with operating property acquisitions, the Company identifies and recognizes all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocations to tangible assets, such as land, site improvements and buildings and improvements are presented within income producing property in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Acquired lease intangibles are presented within other assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and amortized over their respective lease terms. The Company expenses all costs incurred related to operating property acquisitions. The Company values land based on a market approach, looking to recent sales of similar properties, adjusting for differences due to location, the state of entitlement as well as the shape and size of the parcel. Improvements to land are valued using a replacement cost approach. The approach applies industry standard replacement costs adjusted for geographic specific considerations and reduced by estimated depreciation. The value of buildings acquired is estimated using the replacement cost approach, assuming the buildings were vacant at acquisition. The replacement cost approach considers the composition of the structures acquired, adjusted for an estimate of depreciation. The estimate of depreciation is made considering industry standard information and depreciation curves for the identified asset classes. The value of acquired lease intangibles considers the estimated cost of leasing the properties as if the acquired buildings were vacant, as well as the value of the current leases relative to market-rate leases. The in-place lease value is determined using an estimated total lease-up time and lost rental revenues during such time. The value of current leases relative to market-rate leases is based on market rents obtained for market comparables. Given the significance of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of acquired real estate assets, the Company classifies them as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
On April 8, 2015, the Company completed the acquisitions of Stone House Square in Hagerstown, Maryland and Perry Hall Marketplace in Perry Hall, Maryland. In exchange for both properties, the Company paid $35.4 million of cash and issued 415,500 shares of common stock.

Subject to the occurrence of certain events, the Class B Units and Class C Units will not earn or accrue distributions until July 10, 2017 and January 10, 2018, respectively, at which time each may be redeemed in exchange for cash equal to the market price of shares of the Companys common stock or, at the Companys option and sole discretion, shares of the Companys common stock on a one-for-one basis. The estimated fair value of the Class B Units and Class C Units includes a discount for their lack of marketability and distributions until July 10, 2017 and January 10, 2017, respectively. The acquisition date fair value of the total consideration transferred in exchange for Columbus Village was $19.2 million.
On September 1, 2015, the Company acquired Providence Plaza in Charlotte, North Carolina for $26.2 million of cash.

BDG is responsible for securing a senior construction loan of up to $70.0 million to fund the development and construction of Point Street Apartments. The Company has agreed to guarantee up to $25.0 million of the senior construction loan in exchange for the option to purchase up to an 88% controlling interest in Point Street Apartments upon completion of the project as follows: (i) an option to purchase a 79% indirect interest in Point Street Apartments for $27.3 million, exercisable within one year from the projects completion (the First Option) and (ii) provided that the Company has exercised the First Option, an option to purchase an additional 9% indirect interest in Point Street Apartments for $3.1 million, exercisable within 27 months from the projects completion (the Second Option).
The Companys investment in the Point Street Apartments project is in the form of a loan under which BDG may borrow up to $23.0 million (the BDG loan). Interest on the BDG loan accrues at 8.0% per annum and matures on the earlier of: (i) November 1, 2018, which may be extended by BDG under two one-year extension options, (ii) the maturity date or earlier termination of the senior construction loan or (iii) the date the Company exercises the Second Option as described further below.
In the event the Company exercises the First Option, BDG is required to simultaneously pay down the senior construction loan by $7.4 million and the BDG loan by $19.9 million, at which time the interest rate on the BDG loan will automatically be reduced to the interest rate on the senior construction loan plus 200 basis points. In the event the Company exercises the Second Option, BDG is required to simultaneously repay any remaining amounts outstanding under the BDG loan, with any excess proceeds received from the exercise of the Second Option applied against the senior construction loan. In the event the Company does not exercise either the First Option or the Second Option, the interest rate on the BDG loan will automatically be reduced to the interest rate on the senior construction loan for the remaining term of the BDG loan. In the event BDG is unable to secure a senior construction loan on or before June 30, 2016, the interest rate on the BDG loan will be reduced to one-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points.

9. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3unobservable inputs
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of the Companys financial instruments approximate their fair value. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest rate swaps and caps. The Company measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value of the Companys long term debt is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Discounted cash flow analysis based on Level 2 inputs is generally used to estimate the fair value of the Companys long term debt.
Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Companys financial instruments, all of which are based on Level 2 inputs, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

Gross profit from such contracts was less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. Revenue from construction contracts with related party entities of the Company was $1.1 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Gross profit from such contracts was less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

11. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Legal Proceedings
The Company is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
The Company currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Management accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position or results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
Under the Companys leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify the Company from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against it as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant.
Commitments
The Company has a bonding line of credit for its general contracting construction business and is contingently liable under performance and payment bonds, bonds for cancellation of mechanics liens and defect bonds. Such bonds collectively totaled $204.7 million and $192.2 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
The Operating Partnership has entered into standby letters of credit using the available capacity under the credit facility. The letters of credit relate to the guarantee of future performance on certain of the Companys construction contracts. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event the Company does not perform. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Operating Partnership had total outstanding letters of credit of $8.0 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Review Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc.
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. as of September 30, 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and the condensed consolidated statement of equity for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated March 16, 2015. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words anticipate, believe, expect, intend, may, might, plan, estimate, project, should, will, result and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
| adverse economic or real estate developments, either nationally or in the markets in which our properties are located; |
| our failure to develop the properties in our development pipeline successfully, on the anticipated timeline or at the anticipated costs; |
| our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness; |
| defaults on, early terminations of or non-renewal of leases by tenants, including significant tenants; |
| bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant or a substantial number of smaller tenants; |
| difficulties in identifying or completing development, acquisition or disposition opportunities; |
| our failure to successfully operate developed and acquired properties; |
| our failure to generate income in our general contracting and real estate services segment in amounts that we anticipate; |
| fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs; |
| our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on favorable terms or at all; |
| our inability to extend the maturity of or refinance existing debt or comply with the financial covenants in the agreements that govern our existing debt; |
| financial market fluctuations; |
| risks that affect the general retail environment or the market for office properties or multifamily units; |
| the competitive environment in which we operate; |
| decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates; |
| conflicts of interests with our officers and directors; |
| lack or insufficient amounts of insurance; |
| environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters; |
| other factors affecting the real estate industry generally; |
| our failure to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (REIT) for U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
17
| limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules in order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and |
| changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof, such as real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates and taxation of REITs. |
While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by applicable law. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urge investors to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled Risk Factors and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as risks, uncertainties and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and identified in other documents that we file from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC).

We own a 60% controlling financial interest in Lightfoot Marketplace. Subject to the occurrence of certain events, our ownership interest in Lightfoot Marketplace may increase to 70%. We own an 80% controlling financial interest in Johns Hopkins Village. The noncontrolling interest holder of Johns Hopkins Village has the right to exchange its 20% ownership interest for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership upon and for a period of one year after the projects completion.
Point Street Apartments Project
On October 15, 2015, we agreed to invest up to $23.0 million in the Point Street Apartments project in the Harbor Point area of Baltimore, Maryland. Point Street Apartments is an estimated $93.0 million development project with plans for a 17-story building comprising 289 residential units and 18,000 square feet of street-level retail space. Beatty Development Group (BDG) is the developer of the project and has engaged us to serve as construction general contractor. Point Street Apartments is scheduled to open in 2017; however, we can provide no assurances that Point Street Apartments will open on the anticipated timeline.
BDG is responsible for securing a senior construction loan of up to $70.0 million to fund the development and construction of Point Street Apartments. We have agreed to guarantee up to $25.0 million of the senior construction loan in exchange for the option to purchase up to an 88% controlling interest in Point Street Apartments upon completion of the project as follows: (i) an option to purchase a 79% indirect interest in Point Street Apartments for $27.3 million, exercisable within one year from the projects completion (the First Option) and (ii) provided that we have exercised the First Option, an option to purchase an additional 9% indirect interest in Point Street Apartments for $3.1 million, exercisable within 27 months from the projects completion (the Second Option).
Our investment in the Point Street Apartments project is in the form of a loan under which BDG may borrow up to $23.0 million (the BDG loan). Interest on the BDG loan accrues at 8.0% per annum and matures on the earlier of: (i) November 1, 2018, which may be extended by BDG under two one-year extension options, (ii) the maturity date or earlier termination of the senior construction loan or (iii) the date we exercise the Second Option as described further below.
In the event we exercise the First Option, BDG is required to simultaneously pay down the senior construction loan by $7.4 million and the BDG loan by $19.9 million, at which time the interest rate on the BDG loan will automatically be reduced to the interest rate on the senior construction loan plus 200 basis points. In the event we exercise the Second Option, BDG is required to simultaneously repay any remaining amounts outstanding under the BDG loan, with any excess proceeds received from the exercise of the Second Option applied against the senior construction loan. In the event we do not exercise either the First Option or the Second Option, the interest rate on the BDG loan will automatically be reduced to the interest rate on the senior construction loan for the remaining term of the BDG loan. In the event BDG is unable to secure a senior construction loan on or before June 30, 2016, the interest rate on the BDG loan will be reduced to one-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points.
As of the date of this report, we had funded $6.1 million under the BDG loan.
Acquisitions and Dispositions
On October 30, 2015, we completed the sale of the Oceaneering International facility for $30.0 million.
On November 2, 2015, we entered into an agreement to sell the Richmond Tower office building for $78.0 million. We expect to complete the disposition in 2015, subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions including satisfactory completion of the buyers due diligence. There can be no assurances that these conditions will be satisfied or that we will complete the disposition on the terms described herein or at all.

The following highlights our results of operations and significant transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2015:
| Net income of $4.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014. |
| Funds from operations (FFO) of $10.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to $7.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2014. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures. |

| Property segment net operating income (NOI) of $14.4 million compared to $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014: |
| Office NOI of $5.6 million compared to $4.9 million |
| Retail NOI of $6.2 million compared to $4.3 million |

Segment Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2015, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate and (iv) general contracting and real estate services, which are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS). Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) or NOI is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of NOI to net income.
We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. Same store properties exclude those that were in lease-up during either of the periods presented. We generally consider a property to be in lease-up until the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy.

Segment profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods in 2014 because of higher overall volume on our construction contracts. The increase in volume more than offset a decline in operating margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The overall operating margin on our construction contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2015 was consistent with the overall operating margin for the corresponding period in 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction, borrowings available under our credit facility and proceeds from the sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program (ATM Equity Offering Program).
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of September 30, 2015, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $15.2 million and restricted cash of $4.2 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development activities. As of September 30, 2015, we had $36.0 million available under our credit facility and $42.3 million available for future issuance under our ATM Equity Offering Program to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.
ATM Equity Offering Program
On May 5, 2015, we commenced our ATM Equity Offering Program through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million. Our sale of shares under the ATM Equity Offering Program will depend on a variety of factors, including among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, capital needs and our determination of appropriate sources of funding. We have no obligation to sell any shares and may at any time suspend or terminate the ATM Equity Offering Program. Each of our sales agents are entitled to a commission of up to 2.0% of the gross offering proceeds of shares that they sell through the ATM Equity Offering Program. We intend to use any net proceeds from the sale of shares through the ATM Equity Offering Program to fund development or redevelopment activities, fund potential acquisition opportunities, repay indebtedness, including amounts outstanding under our credit facility, or for general corporate purposes. Since the inception of the ATM Equity Offering Program to September 30, 2015, we raised $7.7 million of gross proceeds at a weighted average price of $10.29 per share. Net proceeds after offering costs and commissions were $7.4 million.
Credit Facility
On February 20, 2015, we agreed to a $200.0 million senior unsecured credit facility that includes a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and a $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility. The credit facility replaced the prior $155.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature on May 13, 2016. On February 20, 2015, we borrowed $54.0 million under the revolving credit facility and $50.0 million under the term loan facility to repay in full all outstanding amounts due under the prior credit facility and to repay approximately $39.0 million of other indebtedness secured by properties in our portfolio for the purpose of unencumbering those properties. We intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio and for working capital.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $350.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The amount permitted to be borrowed under the credit facility, together with all of our other unsecured indebtedness is generally limited to the lesser of: (i) 60% of the value of our unencumbered borrowing base properties, (ii) the maximum amount of principal that would result in a debt service coverage ratio of 1.50 to 1.0, and (iii) the maximum aggregate loan commitment, which currently is $200.0 million.
27
The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2019, with a one-year extension option, subject to certain conditions. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of February 20, 2020. We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.40% to 2.00%, depending on our total leverage. The term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.95%, depending on our total leverage. We are also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the credit facility. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from S&P and Moodys, we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on our credit ratings.
The credit facility requires us to comply with various financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
| Total leverage ratio of the Company of not more than 60%; |
| Ratio of adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges of the Company of not less than 1.50 to 1.0; |
| Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $220.0 million and 75% of the net equity proceeds received after December 31, 2014; |
| Ratio of variable rate indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 30%; |
| Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 45%; and |
| Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 25%. |
The credit facility limits our ability to pay cash dividends. However, so long as no default or event of default exists, the credit agreements allow us to pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period in an amount not to exceed the greater of: (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the amount required for us (a) to maintain our status as a REIT and (b) to avoid income or excise tax under the Code. If certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period to the extent necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. The credit facility also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

Interest Rate Derivatives
We may use interest rate derivatives from time to time to manage our exposure to interest rate risks. Using an interest rate swap, we fixed our interest payments under North Point Center Note 5 at 3.57% through maturity on February 1, 2017.
On February 20, 2015, we entered into a $50.0 million floating-to-fixed interest rate swap attributable to one-month LIBOR indexed interest payments. The $50.0 million interest rate swap has a fixed rate of 2.00%, an effective date of March 1, 2016 and a maturity date of February 20, 2020. We entered into this interest rate swap agreement in connection with the $50.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility that bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.35% to 1.95%, depending on our total leverage. We designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of variable interest payments based on one-month LIBOR.
On July 13, 2015, we entered into a $6.5 million floating-to-fixed interest rate swap attributable to one-month LIBOR indexed interest payments. The $6.5 million interest rate swap has a fixed rate of 3.05%, an effective date of July 13, 2015 and a maturity date of April 5, 2018. We designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge of variable interest payments based on one-month LIBOR.
As of September 30, 2015, we were party to the following LIBOR interest rate cap agreements ($ in thousands):

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have entered into standby letters of credit relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain of our construction contracts. Letters of credit generally are available for draw down in the event we do not perform. As of September 30, 2015, we had aggregate outstanding letters of credit totaling $8.0 million that expire during 2016. However, any of our standby letters of credit may be renewed for additional periods until completion of the underlying contractual obligation.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased 17% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of less net cash collected under our construction contracts.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we invested 31% less cash compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of lower investment in new real estate development.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased 50% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as a result of lower net proceeds from common stock sales.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs calculation of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with NAREITs definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Companys operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of the Companys year-over-year performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, property acquisition, development and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives and other non-comparable items.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon current available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We discuss the accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to understanding our reported financial results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
The primary market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk. Our primary interest rate exposure is LIBOR. We primarily use fixed interest rate financing to manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. On a limited basis, we also use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate risk. We do not use these derivatives for trading or other speculative purposes.
At September 30, 2015, approximately $166.3 million, or 39.6%, of our debt had fixed interest rates and approximately $253.8 million, or 60.4%, had variable interest rates. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if interest rates increased by 1.0%, our cash flow would decrease by approximately $2.5 million per year. At September 30, 2015, LIBOR was approximately 20 basis points. Assuming no increase in the level of our variable rate debt, if LIBOR was reduced to 0 basis points, our cash flow would increase by approximately $0.5 million per year.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2015, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, as of September 30, 2015, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring
32
that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act: (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material or which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations if determined adversely to us. We may be subject to on-going litigation relating to our portfolio and the properties comprising our portfolio, and we expect to otherwise be party from time to time to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business.
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
